People who boo need to stay home. Let your wallet talk. If youre going and you must protest, make a Butch sign or something, but cheer these kids. Cheer them when they excel and support them when they fail.

Thats said fire Botch. Go Vols.

This is what happens at an institution that had no "official" code of conduct for its employees prior to 2012 and hasn't substantively changed its student code of conduct since the 1970's. The whole UT system has been a story of cover ups, bribery and pay-offs for decades. But we still love her.

This is also what happens when the decisions needed to be made for UT are done so by a criminal with a deep pocket. There is no orange blood in the system anywhere. UT only hires outsiders that are there for a paycheck, not to make UT better. Ever since Joe Johnson left there has been a revolving door of presidents, chancellors, coaches, etc. Why? Half the board of trustees didn't attend UT. Why are they on the board? Again, no orange blood in the system + no loyalty to alumni or fans unless they have money + a criminal making decisions = exactly where UT is today which is nowhere. Unless someone decides that loyalty and orange blood is more important than money, nothing at UT will change.

Is it possible that meeting between Fulmer and Zook was about bringing him onboard now to help with recruiting?

Why can't people understand? Because other people keep saying "he's gone. 100% he ain't coming back".

Each week, he keep coming back.

Agree.

Out there is a world of no hope. Here is. Maybe borderline psychosis, but Ill take promise...

The Grude News, the midday edition. For those just tuning in.

Well, no news can be good news to an extent. Since his mega planet killing asteroid strike yesterday, Atlanta hasn't been very chatty. Not that we expected it as he's been trying to figure out which fork to use at the bigwig dinner last night and wants to know why he got three forks when he can just wipe off one with the tablecloth and continue eating. Emily Post probably ate up a lot of his bandwidth last night, hence, why he didn't post.

Regardless, between the time of his post and the meetings yesterday, something happened. Which we could assume was a good thing since the Neyland renovations went through without a hitch. You'd imagine some inner fighting if Currie was about to hire some no name Sun Belt coach and donations drying up. Not the case.

Swain seemed to be happy this morning. He's been full on Grude since this insanity started. Or as a minimum, a splash hire coach. Don't know if he knows something we don't, but it's like he hit the Mega Millions and $1B Powerball in the same week. I'll take that.

I'd say some of the news coming out of the meetings today could help clarify some stuff. Nothing specific, but could provide some nuggets to help tie things together.

We have determined an escape room turns into a "I really don't want to" escape room if Volly is trapped with Sam Elliott.

And we have entered the initial stages of the Great BBQ War of 2017. Sides are being picked and nobody will sit this one out. It's going to get medieval before it's over.

Duck continues to impress with his pragmatic thoughts and breakdown on the coaching search.

However, allegedly there was a stalemate this morning. No further information on that.

And somehow, we got onto a hairless cat pic spree. It got a little weird after that. Not that hairless cats aren't weird enough as it is.

Jimmy Hyams claims to have received copies of the resignation email sent by former VFL Coordinator Antone Davis. The emails claim he was subjected to “constant intimidation, bullying and mental abuse’’ from Jones. In another email to Currie: “I want you to know that I am not leaving Tennessee because I want to,’’ Davis wrote in the email. “I am leaving because I must. My biggest regret and fear is that I am leaving behind student-athletes and co-workers that may be subjected to the same treatment I have received.’’

Just wow if that's the case. Very telling to the state of the program.

In other news today, Freak was in negotiations with Boeing for an enhanced "sky yacht" 747 conversion for use to get to and from the Grude 1 yacht. When informed by Boeing engineers it would be impossible, potentially unwise and certainly unsafe for them to both put in a full lower deck hot tub, upper deck tailgating area and add luxury seating, Freak sent in Corporate Negotiator Preacher Webb who immediately started putting people "on the list" as well as Corporate Bouncer Ape who had choice words to say.

Engineers also stated it would be "impossible" for any 747 to land on the Grude 1 yacht as there is not enough landing space. Said "you're going to need a bigger boat." Freak's associates have been in contact with Newport News Shipbuilding to modify Grude 1 with a landing strip next to the franchised Waffle House and Krystal Burger.

From the entire Volnation News Team, I'm Grand Vol and My mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get..

Unreal..this is not just money movement. Those wizards are the real insiders and their people REALLY know peolple

Not to bring politics into this but from a gambling perspective they completely whiffed on the election. Can be money movement. Not saying it is, but certainly plausible they would adjust to cover the risk.

Gruden is willing to coach again. He has said so multiple times. He has also called Tennessee a "dream job". And he said he would consider coaching in college.

These are facts, not theories.

Yes, it's a non-factor.

Link where he said he would consider coaching in college?

I can tell you it feels that Haslem will make a run at Gruden, for the Browns. Everything for Tn holds true for Cleveland except he has been a Browns fan his entire life. I'll say this, there is no greater challenge for a coach than Cleveland, worst football on any level.

What if Currie hasn't fired Jones because Mr. Gruden has made it known that he isn't on board with coaches getting fired mid-season, and Currie wants to make sure he does everything possible to get Mr. Gruden?

The media narrative will get worse before it gets better....by design. More is going is likely to come out. Watch the demeanor of the lapdog UT media change in regards to Butch over the next few days.

Just so you know....whoever it was that said Butch was out after KY win or lose, was initially correct. I don't remember who it was but he took a lot of heat when it didn't happen. Something behind the scenes changed it...I assume the Davis issue, then you added in the Kendrick situation. I'm told the blowup in Anderson between Butch and Currie was in regards to this.
