I was sitting in my biology class about an hour ago waiting to take a test and was talking UT football, specifically the coaching search, to a good buddy of mine and when I brought up my theory on the Grumors a guy that sits in front of me turned around and chimed in. We talked about it for a few minutes and then he proceeded to show me a text he had received that said,
"I tailgate with Thunder's cousin. He called me Saturday and told me that the escrow account set up by the boosters still had the money in it. The money was for Gruden and only Gruden, which is why it went to escrow. If Gruden was dead, the money would be back in the boosters' hands. As of yesterday, the AD was asking for more money. There's only one person you need more money for."
Just to clarify, I have no idea who Thunder is. This guy has sat in a desk directly in front of mine for the past 4 months and this is maybe the second time we have ever spoken, so I have no clue who he knows or if it's credible, but it does make sense and trust me when I say that he was totally sold on what he was sharing with me. Also, if anyone can describe what an ESCROW is it would be greatly appreciated because I have no idea what that is either.
I took a picture of the text message on his phone so this is word for word what it said. If it needs to be shared it can be. Also I checked the name it was sent to him from on facebook and the guy is a 2010 UT engineering grad. Doesn't mean anything but that he actually exists. Anyways hopefully this can clear some things up.
