They thought for sure Gruden was coming. What does that tell you?


Not going to try to defend most of the tards on there, but a lot of them were just playing along to make some really long thread about Gruden, but didn't actually think he was coming here.

JLS doesn't seem to be the type to bail on a job like bp. Has he addressed this yet?

I do feel bad for you hog fans. I know not everyone believed it, but quite a few.

I think a lot more are in the camp of thinking it was a joke now that the news is out.

Also, I loved how they dismissed the Jon Gruden rumors as being totally impossible, but also took the time to talk about how he wouldn't be that great of a hire because they couldn't even bring themselves to give that little bit of credit to Arkansas.


Credit for what? They didn't hire Gruden.

Did you want people to give credit to Arky for a rumor created that Gruden was going to be your coach?

I don't get it! R Kansas could've bought all kinds of cool shite for $850,000, a killer red Lamborghini, a really neat red biplane with black iron crosses on it.......... but a old dead guy?

On Hogville? Sure. The big Gruden thread on here yesterday was started by an LSU fan. It was filled with Hog fans making fun of HV and coming up with creative ways to troll.

Yeah, It's almost quite sad to see them fall. Remember I said ALMOST.

That was obvious. The hogville thread, if anyone lurked, was pretty funny.

I didn't get to because the site was down all night last night and most of the day today. I can only imagine the amount of tard that it contained in over 300 pages. HV is currently in full meltdown mode and ready to fire Jeff Long.

I meant they wouldn't want to give Arkansas credit for making a good hire, so they took the time to talk down a potential Gruden hire even though they supposedly believed it was impossible.

I never did understand why they thought they would be the special ones after Gruden's said no to everyone else. It's like the guy who is convinced the stripper really does want to date him.

Sorry for what? It's not a permanent hire. Does it suck that Petrino put us in this predicament? Sure. But can't get mad at Long for this. Really it was all he could do. In the meantime, he will be looking for a permanent coach.

Don't understand what's so funny and don't get why some Hog fans are freaking.
