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.

Certification is definitely on the bucket list. Have had my share of water therapy and it does wonders. I have snorkeled down around St. Thomas, beautiful place for those who have never been. I never would have imagined that salt water could be that clear.

No just the idiots that call the Anti-Grudens trolls.

Respect is a two-way street. Most often when you give it, you get it. When you don't, you usually don't.

The irony here is that I see the above as one of if not the most damning flaw Dooley has.jmo

Crappie is all I fish for. It's "croppie" if I'm catching them and "crappie" if I'm not!

I spider rigged all winter and spring filling the freezer but post spawn I started trying to perfect trolling Bandits for them and WOW I found my new favorite way to fish them in late spring and heat of summer. Last week in August was the last time, but caught 28 keepers and the 15 I kept were all over 12 inches. I got the crappie figured out finally. Grew up fishing Reelfoot lake so it was a huge adjustment to the local waters here. Only been back in Knoxville about 8 years.

Was in St. Thomas a week ago yesterday and St. Maarten a week ago today. Snorkeled in Cococay, Bahamas and St. Thomas. I dove at St. Maarten. Breath-taking beauty above and below the water. I have never felt more drawn to a place than I do the Caribbean. That blue/clear/turquoise water is spiritual.

I grew up fishing Kentucky lake and Barkley. Now living in bama, I fish Wies Lake. Only problem with Wies is that it's a shallow water lake. The only way to catch them in the winter and summer is to find them in river channels. Spring, anywhere from 6" to 3' with a jig.

So, my day went a little like this:

A coworker's father, an alumnus who played drums in the Pride, is small scale donor but has a few friends who are more connected. He told my coworker (his daughter) over a week ago that CDD was in trouble and that UT is already looking around. This man is actually attending some kind of big dinner party for CPF this weekend.

Later on...at lunch...another coworker brought up something similar. His father has known Blackburn for years (worked together in Morristown) and is also related to someone who works in on campus recruiting coordination (also from Morristown and yes...I know exactly who it is). He never specified who he spoke with to get his info, but again...Dooley's seat is white hot and they've got a target for replacement. My coworker thinks Gruden is a possibility, but did say he was never mentioned by name.

The trolls are those that are anti-Gruden just to be difficult as opposed to offering the reasoning behind their assertions.

I've offered.

1- No recruiting background
2- Oustide of 1 Superbowl he was a middle of the road NFL coach, heck even Fisher got a job.
3- Offense is way to complicated for college
4- Very explosive personality
5- Will cost a sh*t pile of money for someone who has no college HC experience.
6- There are proven college coaches out there we can hire for that kind of money

I did doubt M'boro, Jay, DTO, SBV, BCarter and others...but I'm no longer a skeptic. There's something going on right now, but I can't even begin to say I know its Gruden.

I, too, thought this could be the greatest troll-job in VN (possibly the whole internet) history. There's just too much info out there that points to something going on. Again, I HAVE NO INFO THAT SAYS GRUDEN...but I'm almost sure Dooley is in trouble and DH and boosters are looking into a big fix.
