Down from what # originally? How many were committed to come?

I mean it is painfully obvious Dooley is gone next year, probably in roughly 10 days. Hard to imagine recruits getting excited to visit given our performance the last couple years and the almost certainty they do not know for sure who their HC will be.

From 4 to 1.

Do you think the recruiting class will see a huge bump if Gruden is announced?

I think anyone on the fence about the Vols at that point would probably jump at the chance to play for him.

It will be the time from right now until the announcement that will be costly. Thats why time is of the essence and even the most conservative in the media are now reporting Dooley is gone after SC.

That came across more azzholish than it should have. It wasn't my intention to be that way. I'm always in a good mood on Fridays. That is a sure thing.

I love Friday's,espciallt today b/c you know that I was gloomy yesterday but that improved the close to nightfall..It's a beautiful day and it most certainly got off to a better start.:)

Fridays mean more when you do not have to work every Saturday to ensure things get done. Cant get good help these days lol.

Can anyone shed some light on the Gruden to Arky rumor above?
Click to expand...

No source, except the Arky Board that was linked above.

They claim they made an offer to Gruden a few weeks ago, presumably when the September losses piled up. Well, they probably did. Why wouldn't they? They also claim he liked the offer. Well, if it was a ton of money, he probably did. That doesn't mean Gruden's going there. I flipped through a few pages on the Arky Board, and found nothing that surprised me.

Not good.

I think we see a continued lag in recruiting for the short term either way. All the SB ring flashing and Gruden's notoriety cant immediately replace what recruits are seeing on the field. If and when Gruden puts a 5* staff in place the 5* recruits will take notice. He could remedy that situation quickly though.

Not one reputable media outlet thinks there is a chance for Arkansas to land Gruden. However I have literally read dozens of stories and reports that put him and Tennessee together.

I have mixed emotions.....simply because the MNF card may mean more than the SuperBowl ring to this generation.

I remember when I used to work and having to work on some Saturdays..That being said Friday's were no fun for me..Married life has allowed me the opportunity to be able to stay at home and perform my "homemaker" tasks..I absolutely love it and my hubby likes for me to able to stay at home..We own our own business and have for about 10 years..Very successful.

Agree. It's not the instant success some think, IMO.

You ARE referring to your work aren't you?
Click to expand...

Yes lol, my wife handles home and I handle making money. She works, but its more because like me she cannot stand to do nothing like ever. She NEVER needs me to ensure things get done. My employees however scurry like roaches when the light comes on the minute I leave the premises. I am too laid back sometimes I guess, but we are breaking year over year records every month so I let them get away with a lot. Good people, was just being sarcastic above.

Gruden could go out and get any QB he wanted, but if he likes Ferguson, keep him, i am just partial to dual threat qb's, especially nowadays with how athletic the pass rushers are.
Click to expand...

Very true..I would love to have a dual threat QB as well b/c we haven't had one on a while..The last time we had one, we won a NC.
