Absolutely agree, Life, more art than science. And a lot of folks on these boards--particularly here in the OJG threads--have chosen to take some things, and some sources, on faith.

That's cool. Everyone decides for themselves what to believe and why.

I'm absolutely good with people keeping their insider sources safe by not giving too much info away that could be used to identify them.

I'm also absolutely good with people asking folks who seem to have insider info how they have that info, and other questions to help ascertain whether THEY should jump on board and have faith, too.

The only thing I'm not real comfortable with is folks telling other folks they can't ask. That doesn't seem to me healthy for the community.

As for me, I'm one of those who believes there are far (FAR) more wanna-bes and trolls sharing "inside info" on these boards than there are people with true information. I err on the side of doubt; if I see a person provide information that no one else has, and that isn't obvious, and then that information comes true, I begin having faith in them. I can tell you that there are at MOST two people active on this board who have done that. [no, neither of them is named DeerHunter, heh].

But that's just me. People will come to their own conclusions however they wish. Let's just don't beat them up for trying to understand the community landscape.

I think some on here, Knuck included, have consistent enough that it's easy enough to decide how much validity you can assign. New posters wouldn't have that, of course.

Personally, I have not, or will ever, 100% hang my hat on any one person's assessment. Trends, baby, trends. :)

In total agreement with questioning EVERYTHING though. It's one of my mantras. However new folks would be better served doing some background work on these threads as opposed to demanding sources. JMO

Yeah, that's a great point, MaTaLa, one probably most of us should try a little harder at: spend a little more time reading before asking. The answer has sometimes already been given (though in this instance, I don't think it was). I know I'm guilty of that sometimes, myself.

Just wondering about if it was bringing Tee with Miles. Fuller wants a coach to play smash mouth on on offense. Is this something Tee can and will want to do?

Ha Ha ... he needs to remember to where he lives when he keep running down UT. Being a talking head transplant from the Ohio State isn’t the most popular thing to be right now .

Just wanted to say thanks for all the info from the people that have sources and the great conversation and camaraderie on here . I am a lifelong fan who used to lay in bed under the covers at night when I was a kid in the 60's(Dad retired from the Army , 20 years, I served 3) searching through static om my little transistor radio for any sign of a Vols game. We always lived away from Tn and just got to see a few nationally televised games. Don't have the means to attend many games but always watch and listen, and everyone knows where I am from now when I do travel. Always have my Vols attire with me. I do get to a few of the spring games with my boys. One has a birthday close to the spring game so we make it a birthday celebration when we go. Thanks again everyone. GBO and SOON!!!!!

Haha, just thinking how the Gruden threads are VERY much different than the rest of the site. Different dynamics here, thank goodness
