This would be great. I’m hopeful. But I doubt Currie is the big dog. JMO. But maybe there is a new alpha dog at UT and business as usual is changing dramatically. But the big dog is usually the one with the most money or the most influence. Either way, I have to say I’m impressed with the flow of info. Or lilac hair there of. It’s happened just as Currie said it would....so far.

The Grude News, the morning edition. For those just joining us...

OX0yQ.gif



What to say this morning? It's been a while since updates have occurred since most of the info was purely rumor and the last one claimed we had Gruden in the bag. I kind of slacked on giving the updates that often since no news was good news. But being that the current rumors are circulating, let's give a recap, shall we?

First off, big rumors are there is an announcement coming today. A couple of reputable Twitter users (not sure if that should be construed as humor) have made the claims John Currie will announce a head coach today. And if true, this fan base could use a shot in the arm. Or a shot of something. After yesterday, we need it because no mattress is safe at the moment.

Speaking of, most retailers have overstocked on mattresses in anticipation of the coaching announcement. One source stated "we give fire sale a whole new meaning when UT football is down." When asked if the hire turned out to be a home run for Tennessee, retail managers stated they would send the overstock to Alabama where there was a sudden shortage after yesterday.

And speaking of Twitter, a bunch of our current players decided to follow VFL Tee Martin on Twitter recently. Being that Martin was spoken of behind the scenes in our Grumors, this very well could be significant. I doubt the team has been told as loose lips sink ships and all, but I have this feeling even the team members can see the way the winds are blowing.

OG Slice/Maximus/Identity Crisis Poster #1 has heard from his sources there is a potential for Chris Petersen to be announced as the newest head coach of the Vols. And honestly, most Grudenites have paused before nodding and saying "okay, that's a pretty dang good consolation prize." Slice has been reasonably quiet up until the past few days and we at Volnation News believe he probably angered his wife Red over something. We tend to think she's an OG herself and banished him from the internet until he was slightly more positive.

His sources still think his name is Richard for some reason as well and seem excited to see him with texts of "Dick!" coming in frequently. Who knew Slice was such a popular guy?

Anyway, still not much leaking from the AD at the moment on this. However, Boro dropped a nugget that allegedly the graphics and printing folks at UT were instructed to come in Sunday (today) for some reason. Which could mean good things if an announcement is nigh.

Somehow, we've reverted to plan tracking. Always good for a chuckle, but were thrown off that scent by Atlanta some time ago. Basically he said we were barking up the wrong tree.

Most of the media continues to bumble around in the dark. Which can be a good sign the AD still has information on lock down. The same names keep coming up like Mullen to which Jimmy Sexton sincerely thanks people like Chris Low for making his wallet that much fatter.

But we're all in a wait and see pattern for the moment. Like an airliner waiting for a gate to open up, we are stuck on the taxiway and inch forward every so often to get our hopes up, but only to stop once again. We can see the end of our journey, but just can't make it to the gate yet. Patience is the key.

This will be a shorter recap since there really isn't much verified news out there. Lot of rumors and plenty of our known sources telling us to stay the course. So, we wait...

In other news today, a woman was seen at Disney World while running around in a hand painted orange Mickey hat and Tennessee shirt while yelling "WOOOO!" from the song Rocky Top at other guests. Authorities say the woman was not threatening as she came off various rides with a large cheesy grin and attempted to start "Gruden conga lines" with other guests. Apparently the movement was semi-successful as most other non-SEC team fans joined in the fun since "we'd rather have that Gruden guy at your school instead of having to face him every year."

Disney officials are contemplating offering the lady full time employment as a feature attraction and guide to the Stitch's Great Escape ride in the Magic Kingdom. "The ride has been down as of late and it takes a sharp lady to get people excited about getting in that line. If we can plan this correctly, her conga line dances could end up right at the entrance where we have them trapped into going on the ride." It is also reported Dollywood is considering a counter offer to keep "such great talent in the great State of Tennessee."

From the entire Volnation News Team, I'm Grand Vol and the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it

Anybody else think that a great time for the Gruden name to start to leak would be on the NFL Sunday preview show. I haven’t watched that in forever, but do they do some kind of preview of the Monday night game as well. That would be a great time to drop a nugget or two kind of like how they dropped Kelly’s name to UCLA during Gameday yesterday. I’m just throwing crap at the wall. Just thought it was a good theory.

It was reported to be just to stabilize the program until a replacement could be found. Was the Paul Finebaum show so TIFWIW. Just sounded a little out there.

I can see Spurrier being an interim for a few weeks, but not a full season. He has lost a step and he knows it. He is too proud to coach another season with the potential for failure (As a side note, he has said it was the loss to Tennesse that made him start questioning himself at SC and he even sought help from a team psychologist).

I would dare you to start a conga line at Disney, but we already know you're too chicken to do anything on a dare. Like hanging a "Gruden to Tennessee" sign on any of the statues at UF.

Details? Urban Meyer continued announcing games while coach at Ohio State.

Did he?? I’ve been trying to find this information but can’t via google. I know OSU got a waiver to have two coaching staffs, but I can’t find that UM announced any games after he was hired by osu.

I've asked this question many times and have yet to get an answer. Can an agent pay a member of the media to put the name of his client out? Example, pay them a set amount every time they are mentioned on the radio, twitter,FB

Thats what I was thinking when Wallace put this out last night. It lines up for Gruden if he wants to do one last MNF.


I BELIEVE, SOON!!

You also gotta remember after we finally announce our coach, those guys and gals have a lot of work to do the next couple of days. I just can’t see an announcement today, i still think Tuesday. Hopefully I’m wrong
