Official Jon Gruden Thread 37

[tastycar]

My husband is team Patterson so we are a house divided right now. Nothing wrong with Patterson and he'd be a great hire... But he's no Gruden!!! Also he told me if I said SOON one more time he was going to have a stroke. I have 911 primed and ready lol

In his defense, at least he is not team Mullen, Brohm or any of those others.

Not saying Patterson is equal, but, all things considered...could be worse.

My grandfather died in 1952, two years before I was born. My grandmother stayed in her home until 1984, living alone and scaring the wits out of my mother and uncle toward the end, as she had a gas stove but was no longer firing on all cylinders. Lots of burned-up black-eyed peasant ruined saucepans.

When her heart finally wore out, they brought her to my mother's house on a Monday, took her to the ER that Friday, and she died an hour later. When my mother got back home, the Seth Thomas clock that my grandfather had given her as a wedding present in 1922 had stopped at the time of her death. That clock is now on the mantel in my living room.

During the Depression, they had three mortgages on their house (the one on Tanglewood) and took in boarders. My grandfather was laid off from the railroad, and as a former teacher, she went to the Memphis Board of Education to apply for a job. The man who interviewed her said, "Mrs. Jones, I can't hire a woman when men are out of work." So yeah...

Good old Goldsmith's, now Macy's (boo.) I worked one Christmas (1973? 1974?) at the Goldsmith's at Poplar and Park, in the record department.

(Yes children, there were these things called "records.")

I was required to play Elvis's "Blue Christmas" every three rotations. I thought I would lose my mind. There are only three (maybe) Elvis songs I liked, and that ain't one of them. I protested by playing Pure Prairie League and Al Green in hot rotation.

Happy Friday, namaste y'all, and Gruden to the hill! Apologies for the nostalgia attack! eace2:

Question: did you ever go to Dinstull's?

 

[VFLnSFD]

Do y'alls husbands even watch football?

Mine does. But he was surprised last year when I got a letter answered in clay Travis's mailbag and I said I was a bigger FB fan than my husband. I thought he knew.

Middle.

Luckily I have the flu....hahahah the timing was perfect.

Drink lots of fluids, at this point nothing you can do but ride it out.

I get it...

is he coming?

 

[Los-Osis]

That **** wasnt real???

yea man they were real, real actors:hi: I do hope I didn't stress you out, it's ok man.

 

[Bigworm87]

K it worked. This is someone recording their TV where FB says Gruden has taken the TN job and is immediately interrupted and then says it wasn’t serious. Still interesting he’d say that though.

I don't believe it's interesting in the least. Paul is trolling, point blank. I'm tired of being the laughing stock like this is a pipe dream. We're coming... soon

 

[peerless98]

is he coming?

He should be done by now.

I’m on day 4 of Tamiflu....and I’m finally climbing out of the weeds.

I’d like to thank the Influenza B virus for allowing me to lay in bed all week to keep up with this thread.

 

[VolNExile]

You think? They’re coming from Georgia and say they are in transit. Does that matter?

Go hound the crap out of them! Meet them at the sort station (they're usually close to an airport) if that's what it takes!

Illegitimi non carborundum and all that!!!

He was a slave!

Best medicine ever!!

Of course it was real.... don't pay any attention to Los, he is usually strung out this time of the night on prune juice and Metamucil

I wish my wife loved the vols like this, lol - good for you two!

 

[G8rh8r]

Oh yes, but keep in mind he is a Bama grad. Lol.

 

[voldawgforever]

Him not showing up on here should tell you something

He showed up. Long enough for a few good deeds, said he would not comment on the process so please don’t ask.

Very telling if you ask me.

The only one I listen to.

 

[FacelessArya]

Call UPS customer service 1-800-PICK-UPS with the tracking number to see what you/they can do.

I called them and got a voice and I asked to pick up the shipment. It said I could could pick them up Monday-the date of delivery, lol. I’ll have to call in the morning.

 

[Jake]

Yeah the Tamiflu was useless. Hahaha

 

[VFLnSFD]

Oh yes, but keep in mind he is a Bama grad. Lol.

I find this fascinating. I can't even imagine a scenario where I would have wound up married to a Bama fan. Or a Georgia fan, etc.

Doc question. Probably inappropriate and rude, so, apologies.

I've never gotten a flu shot. Ever. Should I consider it this year because of the CDC report that this will be the worst year ever for influenza?

I didn't get the flu the last 2 years, if that helps with the answer.

I actually know the guy in the video. Crying wrestling fan. David Wills. Really good guy and.... a Tennessee fan.
