The Cards can still be heard loud and clear in West Tenn on KMOX, but it ain't the same without Jack Buck. :frown:

Has anyone had an opportunity to check the donation history of Ergen to UT.... That will tell us a lot imho....

I will away from the board again until late in the day and possibly evening ...surely that information is available somewhere

I'd be willing to bet Ergen donates more money than 99.9% of all fans and Deerpark has the audacity to throw shade because he's not giving more or raised his donation in years? That in and of itself is a pretty punk move for someone most thought to be an upstanding poster before last night.

I personally understand that IF we have our guy, keeping Butch is basically the same as have an interim coach (unless you have one on staff that you think can win more). Hearing the rumors that Hoke and Shoop don't get along means one of them cannot be interim as the other may be less than motivated to coach under the other. Thus Butch is just a warm body band aid, until we finish the season, and finally announce the big hire. (hopefully just before recruiting signing day)

However, for the young men playing for us, it must feel like awaiting a sentence on death row. We likely won't win again, and a little spark of hope, an inkling that the university cares and is willing to invest in the football program might do wonders.
Feel badly for them. They give all and suffer ,most.

I agree. We fans suffer, but the players are the ones putting in the work every day. They deserve better.

Those people are morons. It's hard to win a Natty. Just do what you do best, the wins will come and we'll get to the SECCG. Goal should be an appearance every 3 years anyway at a minimum.

As long as he progresses the team, it will come. His year 5 will look VERY different than our current *******'s year 5.

A trained monkey would have done better.

"I heard stuff like that in 2012"

And I believe it to be correct. A prominent booster told me a deal was in place until another booster nixed it by refusing to concede control. TIFWIW

I agree 100% but unfortunately the morons are loud and they'll make us all look dumb. They'll sound like the Butch apologists do now. It sucks that they get to be a fan of the same team as me.


I'm just getting so frustrated with the whole process. I'm tired of UT sucking and of UT being the laughingstock of CFB. It's hard to still be a fan when he trots out there every week and talks about how good of a team Kentucky is.

Let this sink in: "Gruden on My Shoulders" / the old John Denver classic, the band striking this up and Volnation singing while the OL carrying Coach after winning his first SECC at Tennessee.

Can we get some solid evidence? I've been drinking the Gru-laid for several months now. My body is ready for some crap to start moving. Both camps have stayed silent for awhile now and I need some proof that its going DOWN. My Grudometer was at an all time high last week, but as it progresses I feel as if it keeps dropping. Am I the only one?

Dude come on... I saw people seriously stating that we should win a SECCG within 3 years of him being our coach and we should win a Natty by year 5. Your expectations are reasonable, clearly I wasn't talking about you.
