Damn that was fun. Well worth the loss of sleep

Been a long time since I’ve said those words

It’s incredible how many good players usc has and a lethal QB and they still barely scrape by in games.

That QB is a turnover machine though

So a coupla good things from yesterday...

1. Ty Chandler had the good day I predicted and then some.

2. JG looks like he's starting to come along even though he's still getting sacked too much. He's still got a ways to go but he gets better each game which is a very good thing, imo.

3. We scored actual touchdowns. (Hey after the dry spell I'll take every little bit).

The bad is pretty obvious but the thing about that game is despite everything I think that without the BS call at the beginning, I think we win. What makes it worse is that the Cats had far more people on the field when that incident happened than we did and yet we wind up getting penalized more and losing more important players. Honestly, was that call even legal?

 

[Catbone]

Wonder what kind of offense we run with the new ball coach.

 

[JCP201]

I think there must be a method to the madness, because I have noticed that the old players don't understand why Butch is getting more respect than Fulmer did.

Apparently Fulmer himself advised Currie to wait, due to the way he was treated

This World Series is unreal!!

Gotta get to bed soon but man. The back and forth is unreal!

I keep missing the ends of these great games because I have to work in the morning. I know that they have to maximize the advertising dollar, but I do wish that they could start the games an hour earlier.

 

[drvenner]

You’re supporting TY chandler by trying to get him a new coach. Settling for mediocrity isn’t helping him.

That is a dumb argument.

Last three hires were hopes of growth on the job. Hope dashed repeatedly

Don’t bring me 7.5 win average Mullen and a pint of hope

But you want Frost?

I know most of y’all dont want to believe anything about Gruden, but this is from the beaver late last night. I’m posting it, because SBV even said last night that’s it’s apparent we are going after Gruden.

I have 0 worries about this deal being announced, I am finally getting some information on timing (Gruden announcement) which I will not share here. You all will not have to be patient for much longer.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

But you want Frost?

Without a doubt

I’ve made myself very clear. I’m 💯 hooked to the Frost train

Don’t worry though. Florida is undivided on it and is going to hone in and land him. He’ll be the next Urban Meyer and we’ll get someone else

Then, this is what I posted as a possibility of what might be happening. This is based on what OldVol75 (who many have said they have met and is definitely connected) said last night...he said we will learn today that Butch is officially gone, and then he said something about getting a nice anniversary gift on the 31st, but also made it sound like it would not be Gruden announced as HC. Here’s my conjecture...tifwiw (and laugh if you want):


OV75 made it sound like the 31st will be an important day, but won’t be the announcement day for Gruden. Piecing things together, this is what I’m wondering:

Apparently, the betting for the future TN HC ends at 12 on the 31st (I don’t gamble, but this is what I’ve read multiple times by some of you).
I’m wondering if it is announced after 12 that Gruden and ESPN have agreed to mutually part ways, due to the problems ESPN is having (everyone will be wanting to bet Gruden when this happens, but it will be closed and too late).
At that point, we will start hearing about TN and Currie entering talks with Gruden (although the deal is already pretty much done).
Then, whenever Currie thinks it’s a good time, Gruden is announced (have no idea if that’s within a few days or after the season).

This thing will have to look like a coaching search occurred. This is the most logical way, IMO. Maybe, maybe not. We will see.

#EmptyNeyland isn't going to work so well on Homecoming. Too many alums are bringing their families to Neyland to share the experience and get together with old friends. There are alumni and donor events Thursday - Sunday. The seats will start to empty after halftime, but not many alums will boycott Homecoming on the Hill.

I agree with you here. I will also add that if Currie is delaying the release simply because he knows that it will be a good gate on Saturday anyway, then that is incredibly short-sighted and actually kinda dumb.

Yes, I know. Me too. But it’s really fun to think about this happening. I’ll still believe it when I see it, but it’s been a miserable season, so I’m hoping for something great for our program.

Me too. Enjoying what people post here about Gruden. Have about 15% confidence of it bearing fruit.

Don't care if it is. Very easy to have video review crew to identify players on the field at the time of the incident and inform both coaches the following players participated in the scrum and have their 1st infraction.

They are up there twiddling their thumbs most of the game.

He’s gonna be wrong on his first prediction and the mysterious non prediction prediction for the 31st is typical fake insider stuff.

“Something is going to happen on the 31st but I can’t say what.” Then when it doesn’t happen he will say it is delayed. Then when something happens in a week or two he can say that was the thing that was to happen on the 31st.

JMO.

I was watching Stranger Things season 2 and they had a scene where "soon" was discussed at length. Doesn't get anymore solid than that.

Not only has Frost brought UCF from 0-12 to 7-0 in two seasons, the offense has gone from dead last (127th) to 1st in two years. 👀

That type of result is not one to be concerned about “not working in the SEC”. That, is a great coach knowing exactly how to get the best out of his team

A lot of moving parts

Murky water

There is s plan, and they are following it.

All about timing.

Trust me, it’s all working out, and soon you’ll see.





Shake it up, pull one out and post it whenever needed

I feel like at any moment they are going to pull the rug out and explain that you can save a lot of money by switching to Geico.

That offense is exactly why he will be in Florida’s search
