It's an emotional subject for most of us, and it's sometimes hard to believe such good news considering the last 5 to 10 years.

That said, I hope nobody thinks I've called anybody crazy. I appreciate any info people bring to the forum. It's up to the reader to decide what to do with it.

You OG's seem like good folk.

No one in particular just overall. I also started hearing it a month or so before posting it. Talked to some big $$$ at Florida game that were sold it would happen. I was still all "we are gonna beat Florida and win 9 games" bought in. Then it picked up steam and people I never imagined talking about it were. Everyone from former players, current players families, UT coaches of other sports, former AD members, $$$$, and current UT media people started talking about it. Then I found the thread in II I think, had not been on VN much in a long time before that. What certain people were saying lined up almost exactly. That's when I bought in. I wavered when I was told by a VERY trusted UT alumni that he said no and it was over only to completely reversed again on "Orange Tuesday" as I have started to call it haha. I started celebrating then. Everything here matched his info even the hiccup between Bama and Troy whatever it was. Will forget someone but Boro, DTO, Jay, Lex, OCI, and others here from near the beginning are good people that obv love the Vols and bring good things to this community.

It would take a screw up of monumental proportions for this to not happen. Like I told my kids, this is going to be the most exciting hire possibly in college football history.

And we are here for it, ain't it cool?

Not sure what I will do once this is all over, never was a FF guy. Maybe Freak will give us an OG Sports Bar forum so to speak where those of us that have gotten to know each other so well can have a place to discuss UT football, cats, politics, whatever. We have become a community within a community.

If official visits from recruits start back up on 11/25 wouldn't the AD want to announce Gruden then so as to get a jump on recruiting some non-stiffs?

Oh yeah, it's cool.

And maybe we need some kind of qualifications to join this community.

For example:" If you've ever started a thread saying you prefer Fulmer over Gruden, you may not be welcome."

I would think so, but hopefully Gruden will still have plenty of time to make some noise on the recruiting trail.:yes:

I think there's just too much steam behind this for an announcement to wait until the 17th. I think there will probably be an annoucement fairly soon. Source: this thread.
