Man, I loved Baghdad Bob. We loved watching him live, tuned in just for him.

Had a guy on staff who looked a lot like him, too. Did a skit about him at Christmas, it was hilarious.

Baghdad Bob and yesterday's airport periscope were just about equally funny, I think, and in kinda the same way. :)
"Us troops are not in our country"

Nobody finds the media 180 degree turn in 24 hrs for no credible reason suspect?

Cmon man!

Gruden also was singing UT and Rocky top praises himself on the radio just yesterday.
Its happening!

I agree. From a Tennessee standpoint, I'm not buying the "let the players play, coaches coaching for their next job". If anything, it seems like more of a distraction. The coaches already know they are gone. Announcing it would amp the players and fanbase. The only reason I see keeping it quite is because of Grudens other obligations.

These Norvell and Mullen people make me not be able to help but wonder if many fans feel like its wrong to expect championship caliber football at UT

Heh, love the French. Amazing people.

Spent a year with the French Army in the 1990s. Most of that time, we were in the town of Compiegne, north of Paris.

Three famous things happened in Compiegne in history:
  • In the Hundred Years' War in the 1400s, Joan of Arc was captured there, ended up burning at the stake;
  • At the end of World War I, the French made the Germans sign armistice papers there;
  • Early during World War II, Hitler in turn made the French sign surrender papers there.
Here's why I love the French. There a huge statue of Joan of Arc near the town square; and the clearing and railroad car where the armistice papers were signed is set up as a museum. But that same site is where Hitler made the French surrender, too. I mean the exact same spot (Hitler was a troll, and vindictive!). Inside the railroad car and museum, you'll find tons of historic photos, documents, and other memorabilia about the German surrender, but only one little corner of one of the rooms has one small table and about 8 photos hanging on the wall to mark the French surrender.

It really is a give-away to a big part of the French approach to life. We ignore what we do not favor, what does not flatter us.

Way off topic, I know. Heh, sorry, you just got me remembering.

Go (to the fence) Vols!
The French have always been there when the needed us.

Do not take this with a grain of salt! I am a life long Vol fan and long time member here on VN. Gruden is coming. I know because I am witnessing it with my own eyes. He is in a cage in the back of my pickup truck. I just crossed over the GA line heading north. Should be in Knoxville by 8pm. No make that 9pm....must stop and eat at Waffle House. For a 53 year old he is fairly strong but I managed to wrestle him down. Driving a bright orange 78 Chevy and headed up 95 to 26 then 40 on to the city. Please join in with the caravan.

So.....Gruden to the Hill!!! LOL

I laughed. :rock:

JG works for a media organization. The US Media will live feed troops/SWAT tactical movements for ratings when lives are at stake. If JG requested release from his contract at said media org., it would be on the airwaves as fast as the intern could type.

Hired a retired guy to hang Christmas lights and turns out he’s ex-CIA and was in Baghdad the night of the invasion and was pinned down with the Iraqi royal guard. He explained to me the treaty between China and Baghdad and why our troops never entered the city. I never knew.
