December 27

So you're about 6 and half months older than me.. I hope the Mayan's Prediction doesn't come truehmy:..That's depressing to think about.:cray:

Still got a freezer full, going to fire up the fryer tomorrow as soon as I get home from work and should be done just about kickoff. I do not want to wait too late, UT games this year have not created much of an appetite lol. Have to get em out of the grease by kickoff.

You could have posted anything in the world, but NO, you had to tell me you're cooking crappie! Shame, shame, shame! LOL

Knoxville is not too far to drive to eat crappie and watch the game on TV lol.

I think the Eagles is the biggest threat to land Gruden. When Mike Vick was with the Falcons, Gruden always talk about how he would love to coach "Starship 7" That is what he calls Vick.

Andy Reid could be gone after this season if things don't change. I do believe Gruden would be on the Eagles coaching list.

Trust me, 40 was actually easy. Plus it's better than not turning 40!

Agreed OV, 40 was a breeze and very happy to make it there in good health.

I just may have to go give it a try this weekend. Since its cooled off some they have gotten a little shallower.

You got that right!

Plus if I DIDNT post pictures, I am sure SpartyVol would be here shortly to tell me how FOS I am and that without pictures or proof I never have caught a fish.

About 12-15' here in creek-channels in brush.

He would do that!

When I was a kid, we fished Kentucky Lake at about 20' year round. Double minnow rig, trolling and bumping stumps. Mouth of Big Eagle Creek iirc

The media keeps putting out more and more. Sounds like the guys on ere when they said its two weeks of preparing the fans

@OrangeZone_365: “@sports180: Chris Low of ESPN: The Worldwide Leader In Sports told @3HL1045 that Jon Gruden would want to talk to Tenn if the Vols fired Derek Dooley.”

 

[jordan4vols]

@Josh_Ward: RT @finebaum: Barring wins against Bama or South Carolina, @BFeldmanCBS says Derek Dooley is done.

 

[VolLee]

I've moved from doubtful to hopeful to believing.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

What about Raheem Morris?

Possible.

 

[joshc]

@Josh_Ward: RT @finebaum: Barring wins against Bama or South Carolina, @BFeldmanCBS says Derek Dooley is done.

Wow! This one carries the most weight with me. Feldman breaks all the stories (ESPN, always just says "a source", but 90% of the time its Feldman). Not looking good for Dooley.

 

[SergeantVol]

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'll suit up! I am about the right size to play in the backfield (5'10" 210lbs). Never been timed on the 40. I do run a 1330 2 mile time.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Possible.

I'm set on the dude being our DC under Gruden..Grant it, he wasn't much of a HC for Tampa last year, but he would make an excellent assistant...Honestly,I can't think of one that I want more but willing to listen to more names..Very open-minded...

 

[vol4eva]

Things are slowly heating up.

 

['Boro-vol]

Like I said earlier....its starting to slowly leak. They are effecting public opinion before an announcement.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

I think its been pretty evident CDD won't be back barring a miracle against bama or USCe.

 

[LittleDTO]

Let me ask you this Jay/Carter/DTO/Y4B/OV. You guys have all heard Gruden, but have you heard any chatter of anyone else? It seems like this Gruden stuff is coming left and right but there is NO information about any other possible "targets". I'm no insider, but i think UT is gonna eventually give him an offer that he can't refuse.

I'm no insider either. Haven't heard any other coach mentioned. I do know that everyone from admin to boosters know that the hire has to be a huge hire. Someone that will fill up the stadium this spring at the O & W game, get season tickets sold, get donations up, and ultimately WINS.

 

['Boro-vol]

I think its been pretty evident CDD won't be back barring a miracle against bama or USCe.

That is just for public consumption. He's gone and has already been told.

 

[Aesius]

@Josh_Ward: RT @finebaum: Barring wins against Bama or South Carolina, @BFeldmanCBS says Derek Dooley is done.

Shouldn't that say "Barring wins against Bama AND South Carolina"?

I think he has to win out to have a chance at being the head coach in 2013. A single win over USCe, who may be on a two game losing streak when we play them, won't save him.

 

[bcartervol98]

That is just for public consumption. He's gone and has already been told.

This is exactly what was said that would happen. Pages are filling in.
