  1. he's telling his excited friend to keep it on the down low. all is well. Urban is our coach guys/gals, relax a little
  2. we are in the chaos period. that period between the deal being done and being announced. all sides will try to deflect and deny. there is no considering being done.
  3. We had my daughter's and I've been to 2 other weddings all since July 2020.
  4. yeah they didn't tolerate any criticism of Brown. I thought that was in part why blacklab started shaggy, maybe not, but the timing was perfect
  5. I got kicked off that site in like the first month
  6. don't ever buy a timeshare from anyone!
  7. LOL, I was a huge victim of the big short, long story, but I was in seminary when things went south and I had a guy at Lehman managing quite a bit of my money. didn't end well. But Michael Burry is a good guy. He's predicting passive investments will really crash the market. It happened a bit earlier this year. But the big one might still be to come.
  8. follow my blog and shoot me comments/questions if you like I'll be happy to give you my thoughts. Not always right, but more right than wrong. I also have a stock blog that is behind a paywall. I have hedge fund and high net worth individual clients alphahorn.com occasionally I have it up for the public.
  9. We're in the beginning of a crypto bull market. I'm holding every asset for a couple of years at least. will convert XTZ and LINK into BTC and ETH eventually. I have an investment in Pantera's Digital Asset Fund where they invest in cryptos outside the top 12 that I can't focus on. Great Fund. Dan Morehead is an old Tiger guy runs a great fund.
  10. just like to study, also went to seminary too Masters in Biblical Studies, yes I'm on surly with that in the bag. Inducted into an international academy for biblical scholars in 2009. No you can't have my name, that community will excommunicate me if my surly self is ever outed. Texas athletics exposes my humanity
  11. I'm extremely long crypto see My crypto blog. I have a quite a bit of BTC and a fair amount of ETH and some LINK and Tezos.
  12. we don't need any of dan brown's nonsense
  13. it's not the money you are keeping from your wife but the details that she'll have it until it's a reality. I'm an old fuck around here. I've had several careers. one was a long stint on wall street as an investment banker. I've advised companies from 100 million up to fortune 100 companies. I've seen what leaks and loose lips do to deals. I left investment banking to start a company I took public with a client whose company I sold. We went public and later sold it.
  14. yeah they site the same answer I gave South Austin as to why wait until the season is over if it is done. wash, rinse, repeat
  15. As I said in an earlier post, I am giving CDC the benefit of the doubt and assuming the same that he pulled it off. The Herman shit once again is this week stuff that only matters after the deal with Urban is DONE. at that point a few leaks don't matter. any leaks before a consummated deal with Urban are a fail. So, to summarize again. I believe the deal is done. I believe CDC pulled it off and I'm giving him huge credit. However, if it falls apart at this point, then I'm for firing CDC.
  16. IF CDC knows what he's doing, and for that matter Urban isn't Herman, he's been around the block himself, then the deal is done before the "leak" stage. All the shit this week is after the fact if the parties involved have a clue what they're doing. You never speak directly to Urban until it is done. everything i has been dotted and t crossed and negotiated with his agent. Any leaks before that and the deal is off and that has to be made crystal clear from the onset. when you're dealing with $100 million deals people are motivated not to fuck up. you can keep all sorts of shit from your wife for a month for that kind of money, trust me.
  17. For reasons that I have explained. The fact that the entire world knows we are in discussions with Urban should only happen after he has 100% assurance from Urban that he's on board. All the financial negotiations can be completed thru Urban's agent and UT. The facility stuff too. The agent can also relay any concerns. Health is not an issue or nothing would ever get off the ground. The only real remaining issue is Urban's coaching staff and the key members he needs. He should be told make some calls and get back to us with a binding answer. Only then should CDC do anything that publicly links Urban to UT such as the meeting everyone knows about this week and that should only be to toast the deal and give him the final draft of the agreement that had already been negotiated with his agent.
  18. Green Spot Irish Whiskey tonight.
  19. Basically I was making a couple of points. I am giving CDC the benefit of the doubt that he knows what he's doing. If he is a quality deal maker, then nothing would have become this publicly well known until IT WAS DONE. If he's the AD equivalent of Herman as a coach, in other word mediocre, then this deal can blow up. If it doesn't happen it's 100% on CDC.
  20. I'm convinced this is in the bag. If it falls apart, then it really looks bad for CDC as a rainmaker. He has to know that everything gets out. In today's world there are virtually no secrets. This had to be put to bed weeks ago between Urban's agent and UT. I would make certain that he was in and that he had kicked all the necessary tires before doing anything that would officially connect him to UT. I can see Urban's biggest hurdle is pulling together a staff. MNC's are the result of just the head coach. He knows the importance of key individuals and their rolls in creating a winning culture. I'd tell him once the financial terms had been agreed upon and the other facility type stuff, to make his calls and call me and let me know if he's in 100% in. When he calls and says "I'm ready", I would ask how did things go with your staff recruitment. Are you 100% certain you want to proceed even if any of these guys pull out at the last minute. If and only if he says yes, then I'd schedule a meeting and give him his contract. Any less than that is negligent on CDC's part
  21. i'm pretty sure it's 3 sunsets, then you have a buckeye, dinner setting and a feather. buckeye's eat crow. imho
  22. putting it all together: Squid's crystal ball, in three days (Sunday) buckeyes will eat crow. Longhorns make the announcement and the Meyer's celebrate and say hookem, signed Squid
