Southern Miss only sold half of their allotment. Only about 3000 student tickets were picked up.

This may be the smallest crowd in a long long time.

They don’t travel well in Hattiesburg. Most of the alums I know are fans of other schools first, Southern Miss second. I get free tickets to every game.

I’ve no doubt Baldy is pretty connected. Just wish he post again. We aren’t going to treat him any different. I still think he’s a dusty old fart. I don’t give a s**t if he’s Big Jim Haslam. We all know him as a cantankerous retired Marine.

Wish Baldy and Glitch would get their azzes back here. The season has been bad enough, don't need them running off.

Babyvol -

I had to officially join the party before this weekend. Just been laying low and sharing intel with @ChattaVol06, @Hutch 7, and a few others. Didn’t want to miss out on some excitement soon

I was on gridscape for years. @Hutch 7 can confirm.

I’ll say this...... MITbeav is not who was outed but he is very connected.... we message daily.
I never said we would get DJ Humphries but I have missed on a few who changed their minds last minute. Trust the process guys....we are way closer than in 2012.

If you guys only knew how close it was last time....that’s the only thing that has me concerned this time. It’s why I won’t be quite so over the top. If it happens I will explain exactly what went down best I can. It’s been so interesting this time!!!

I will once it’s over....but trust me there is a process to the madness. There have been things in the works for close to 5 years now

I won’t go so far as to say a 5 year timeline but the overall story dates back to 5 years ago when certain boosters got blindsided. That started a plan to make sure it didn’t happen again. Quite a bit of time, money, and resources have went in to making sure we get our guy this go round. I don’t pretend I’ll ever know everything that has led up to our next coach getting hired.....but I know enough to trust the process

is the Chosen One in Knoxville this weekend?
He is within a short drive to Neyland Stadium.

Timeline for announcement?
Let’s get thru today and then I’ll answer
Fair enough.

Hopefully it doesn't depend on the outcome of the game?
Has absolutely nothing to do with the game.

The only thing that concerns me about Gruden is that during his time in the NFL it was widely claimed he ran some of the most complicated schemes. With the practice limits in the NCAA, the question is if he can simplify it to be effective for players at a lower skill level.

This right here. Not to mention dealing with less experienced young men who may struggle to grasp the schemes.

Proud graduate of Oakland High School after last night. Not because they are number one team in the state but because they showed there’s hope for this world. Up 42-0 on Lebanon the Blue Devils put in a special needs player with 6 seconds remaining. Here’s the link to the ending.

Anyone wanna help me figure out if these are real?

 

[vol2002]

I hate watching Mizzou and Vandy and knowing even with the injuries we once again have more talent, and yet knowing there’s a pretty good chance we will lose both games.

I can’t wait for this era to be over. I thought it was when we made that first bowl game in a while in 2014.

It’s ridiculous for a program with our resources.

 

[drvenner]

50 for 4. Serious though how do I know

Almost definitely real. So many tickets out there. Vendors in front of the stadium have to have some kind of permit.

 

[Smokey123]

Florida will lose to Mizzou. Interim doesn't mean things suddenly get better. I wish Butch would have been fired after UF, Umass, or Uga and promote Shoop or G. However if Currie thinks CBJ gives us the best chance for a bowl game I'm fine with it. Keeping Butch a couple extra weeks doesn't affect 2018 and beyond. This season was lost after we dropped that game to Georgia

 

[drvenner]

good they deserve it

Who deserves it? I will say that people stepped up and donated over 300 tickets to South Knoxville Elementary for those kids to get to see a game. Hopefully it will be a memorable experience for all of them.

Glitch will be back. I’ve texted him a few times. Just busy

Babyvol -

Did anyone find it interesting regarding his first comment about wanting to join the party before the weekend? Makes me wonder if maybe something is happening this weekend… Butch is fired or resigns after the game tonight, and Gruden is announced tomorrow?

Even though it was lost after UGA I still have program pride. I’d rather lost seasons be 8-5 type seasons than 3-9 type seasons.

Tell him Sarge said he needs to get his priorities straight and post more!

Yes but there's zero guarantee an interim improves things. Look at Florida today. What makes people so sure we fire Butch and suddenly get better?

Thanks.
He and Baldy just make the place more fun even in bad times. I know I'm being selfish but I'm ok with that.

Come on back peepaw ya hear?

Jet sweep for the win! Thanks for sharing, volatil

You should know if your wife has implants but I'm game.

Perspective. Big ups to both coaches and teams reminding us of the joy this game can bring.

I seriously don't think people are going to print fake tickets for Southern Miss? Who are you buying from?

 

[SergeantVol]

Thanks.

I’m with ya. It hasn’t been as much fun in here without them.
