The thing I hate about fall is it means weekends on the lake are over, usually we have UT football to look forward to but the last couple years have hardly been UT football. I did buy a bass boat so will be doing a lot of that this fall-winter. Going to try and learn how to catch Sauger. I am a crappie specialist lol.

I work a lot too in the fall to make up for all the slacking I do in the summer, always trying to get out of here to get on the lake. Only woke up at home 2 Sundays between last Sunday and Mothers day lol. I used up all my time built up for good behavior!

I hear you Jay. I've had the urge to suit up again during every game we've played in the past, what....6 years?

Unfortunately, the bad ACL scars and the back pain remind me of my age. Of course the fact that I wouldn't make it through warm up without needing the trainer doesn't help.:no:

I can only speak for myself, but I have not said one time my people say Gruden is a done deal. Not even close. I maintained all along that although all signs and opinions are Dooley is done, it was this week before anyone I know mentioned Gruden by name.

When it comes to getting personal, what else would you call it when people insult you because of your information or opinion? Do they honestly think we are going to filet all our relationships to prove some internet troll wrong? Then they insult, call you liar, idiots, and everything else. Thats personal, thats all it is is personal.

Bottom line is we can disagree without being disagreeable. To say that "Gruden is definitely not coming to UT" as many say is far more ridiculous than what any of the people sharing information and opinions have said.

Show me one person that has said 100% he is coming. Then when you cant, I will show you about 50 posts that say he 100% is not. Parody....not much lol.

The secret is to turn it back on them. Or just laugh at them.

If Haslam thinks so much of him to pony up the millions it would take to get him to UT why would it matter? To me Haslam would go after him for the Browns before he would for UT.

It's not Hadlam that wouldn't do it, Gruden wouldn't. Do you know nothing about principles?

It's trolling to believe Gruden would not make a good college coach and would be a long term waste of money? Is it trolling to get frustrated with the gittyness of some supposed fans of the probability of a loss?

No. It's idiotic to get frustrated over anything on a message board.

Like Gahlee said(not in exact words), it's not hoping that the Vols lose,it's just seeing the inevitable..Anyone that thinks that we are hoping the Vols lose just to get Dooley canned is so ridiculous..Dooley is the reason that Dooley will get canned not us fans....Has nothing to do with the fans b/c we aren't on the fields coaching the team and performing head coaching duties:twocents:

And how would going to Cleveland go against JGs principles? Do you really think Holmgren being forced out would stop him from taking a job? These are big boys.

I was fortunate to never tear up a knee....but I have very little cartiledge in mine left. I feel you on the back. 2 surgeries already, and have needed a fusion for the last 3 years. I'm holding out as long as possible. Suiting up is not an option; however, I have recently acquired my scuba certification. It is an excellent workout with little to no joint/back impact. You should try it if you haven't. Outside of family/loved ones experiences, it's one of the greatest experiences of my life. Ranks up there with walking the sidelines making defensive calls.
