What a joke. I normally don't listen to these guys however thought I would turn it on for some background noise. Two callers in a row didn't even have their facts straight (Ainge coming off the bench to win at LSU, Kippy Brown being interim for Fulmer).

Ainge is finally starting to say a few quasi-negative things about BJ but then is trying to imply Gruden isn't even a good coach, period.

Never again. I'd rather work in silence.

If Gruden wears an orange tie tonight on MNF, could be a sign.

If I remember correctly, he did this 5 years ago during our coaching search, just days before we hired Butch.

I could see him doing it again, regardless of his decision. It’s too tempting not to.

Someone came in when we first started down the ergen rabbit hole saying that he owns some new technology that everyone wants. Said the value was estimated around 80 billion. The person was a newish poster and seemed to know what he was talking about.

Dish (and by default, Charlie Ergen) owns a lot of wireless spectrum that is in the range used by the cellular phone companies. The spectrum was bought at auction from the FCC and has a requirement attached to build out or use in a wireless network by 2021 (I think that's the date, have to double check). As of yet, there are no public indications on how Dish plans on using the spectrum but there's a lot of speculation. The spectrum is becoming increasingly valuable as the demand for wireless data goes through the roof.

Per my source which is highly reliable, I was told that Currie has contacted a certain person, and told them that an announcement would be coming soon. Not in like hours but soon. They already have their guy, they just going through the process. I have no reason to doubt this whatsoever.

This week, leaks will start to happen about Butch. He was hated by half the players and almost all the AD staff. Jerk of a person.

Really puts into sharp relief Butch's "FU" to the fans for booing on that field goal.

Any real SEC coach would have understood and laughed at fans booing in that situation (the FG was absolutely the right call, but fans in that situation would always cheer going for it). Botch goes mental.

Say what you want too, but Jalen Hurd ran hard for the Vols and took handoffs from standing in all but one game.

In hindsight now, and as stories from the locker room begin to leak, in an historically ignoble line-up: Hambone > Hart and Stooley > Botch. The once in a generation legacy class and Josh Dobbs covered up a lot of fail.

Dropping Ergen's name was the horse...
None of this is in his MO but why would he care since half of all VN is now jumping in his pouch.

An inverted dish can look like an umbrella from a long distance.

There is an organizing force working behind the scenes, and many have bought a narrative of who. That narrative has served both sides.

Check out the timing of our weather update yesterday.

I'm with Poppa T...underrated post.

Can you expand on the "inverted dish" and the reference to Hyams and MIT's post about the weather
