Grude Evening Everyone!
Just got home from the grocery store and had an interesting experience..I had just picked up some gallons of water on the drink aisle..As I made my way down the aisle, I looked to my left and there were some bananas sitting right in the middle of some soda..Obviously they weren't in the correct spot..It was meant for me to stumble upon them..STICKY BANANAS!:rock:

And we were 1-7 in the SEC
Adds up, yes? No?
...Like I said this was all a big hoopla started by mid level boosters, a guy from another forum, and a group of former players that all thought they knew more than they did. This is clear now...

These may well have been your sources, but they were not necessarily those of others. I'll not be commenting much further on the issue, but there was much more to this than herd mentality run rampant. I know several things that convince me otherwise, and know them from places different than what you have described above.
Also, we could put together a pretty good case and timeline just using the public record to confirm that talks had indeed gotten very deep, including potential staff had discussed coming with him. NFL reports corroborated the same information in less detail weeks ago.
Whatever the case, you don't get that far into discussions without their being a legitimate chance for something to get done. It was far from a pipe dream.
Buy hey, that's my opinion. It may not matter now. We'll all pulling for the same outcome. Just wanted to clarify or offer a different perspective.

Hi my name is tomq_123 and I'm a Grudenite.
Hi tomq_123...
I've been following the VolNation Offical Jon Gruden threads since Thread I and around 8-9 I went all in 100% we were getting Jon Gruden as the University of Tennessee head football coach. I believed all the info posted by the OG's and spent days upon days watching the threads and hitting the F5 key on my browser. Thread XIII was very painful and I reached rock bottom. I no longer believed and was resigned that UT would hire Dooley 2.0
However, y4b in Gruden Thread XV has me excited again. However other OC's say he's FOS. I don't know what to believe anymore. If you can't believe things posted on a internet forum as being true, all life no longer has any meaning.
