  1. I haven’t heard back from my thread, that lane may be closed to me for good. I hope not bc it’s become like crack to me. I spoke with two people on the phone. One works for a BMD that isn’t as active as he used to be, but has talked to a few people that are. He said he had no details except that it’s not happening and we are moving on. The other guy I talked to is a well connected guy and while he’s not at the level of our biggest donors, he gives enough money to co-own a suite with his brother. He’s an Austin guy and hosts an event every year where he helps CDC raise some money. He helped a lot with the new hall of fame in the NEZ. He said he was celebrating on Saturday too. As far as what happened, he was told Meyer started to get really stressed out about the whole process. We talked for a long time so I don’t want to write a novel here, but I don’t think Meyer ever believed we would actually pony up and give him just a stupidly good offer. He ended negotiations satisfied with what had been done, I’d guess that’s where the media started getting positive it would happen. Then a rumor went around on Saturday that things were being finalized this week. That’s when I got so pumped on Saturday and told a lot of curious people it was “done”. This guy doesn’t know what happened on Sunday. He’s still waiting to get the full word, but Meyer basically said he’s sorry but he’s out and cited the stress of the process and decision was an indicator he wasn’t ready to come back. It sounds like everyone involved on our side did a great job, so at least it’s not a Saban situation where our typical dumpster fire screws up the deal. He thinks there’s a big detail that he doesn’t know about that ended up hurting us. I’m sure it will come out later that will tie a lot of this together, because something just doesn’t add up.
  2. One guy hadn’t heard anything and said he would ask. Another said he will know something tomorrow when he goes into work.
  3. If for some reason they decided they needed to manage information closer, I could easily get the boot. Like I said, I’m not sure they even remember I’m on there bc the thread is under a group name.
  4. Y’all aren’t gonna like this, but I still haven’t heard anything on that thread. If the Urban stuff is really done, there’s a 0% chance there would be complete radio silence like this. It just doesn’t make sense to have key players celebrating yesterday morning and for it all to be blown up that night. I’m not gonna ping that thread but I’m gonna bother some other folks who may have some insight. Sorry if this deal doesn’t work out and I got people excited.
  5. Woke up in the middle of the night to check my phone. Not a single bit of activity on that thread since Sunday morning and it was all positive talk. If this 9.95 bs is true it will be humming tomorrow. If its false It could stay quiet.
  6. What a shocker. All of a sudden the team has “covid”. I was told ten days ago this game was unlikely to happen. Makes zero sense to me. Cancelling a game means missing millions of bucks.
  7. I know I’m just an anonymous asshole on the internet, but y’all need to trust me on one thing in particular. Herman is toast. There is nothing he can do to save his job at this point. I’m quite sure we are giving him time and dignity to bolster the pr line of “we just couldn’t turn Urban down”. That’s a much smarter and more savvy way of reducing his buyout compared to the alcoholic philanderer angle.
  8. Yes. I’m moving onto recruiting possibilities and will be participating in a project that will take about a year for D/FW. On that note, Jimbo is the real deal. Herman was running a good recruiting system, but he learned it all from Mack and Meyer. The ags have done a ton of shit right lately. They moved to a conference kids want to play in, they hired a cucked coach that is known for being a good recruiter and being dirty as shit on the trail, and that coach has made savvy recruiting moves in our in state metro areas. Meyer will combat all those moves. Herman did a good job there, but it’s clear he has received a vote of no confidence from the hs coaches in terms of them believing he will keep his job.
  9. Just heard the same about Tech. Would be such a good move for them. You can watch football on Saturday and then go to church and pray for forgiveness on Sunday. That will be a miserable away game if it’s true.
  10. Dude. If this is just your speculation that’s pretty amazing. You’re spot on.
  11. Yep. My point is Hartzell was the point man and he killed it. Eltife was co pilot. CDC was on the sideline.
  12. CDC is an empty suit. Frankly, I don’t know how he keeps his job after his handling of the 2020 fuckery. Hartzell is basically playing de facto AD for this Meyer stuff. I really like CDC because he’s a charismatic and friendly guy, nothing there not to like. He’s just not suited for this job.
  13. I haven’t heard this, but I’d bet a lot of money Herman’s agent is working the phones heavily.
  14. Hartzell is more likely to fuck Herman’s wife and send his kids to a Chinese sweatshop than he is to giving him another year.
  15. Yes. The anxiety is over for me. UM told us he wanted the job many times in the past year. Turns out he wasn’t blowing smoke, he wants the job and we knocked the process out of the park. Negotiations are over. Now it’s just up to the lawyers. Btw, it’s just my worthless opinion that we let Herman coach through the end of the season. For all I know right now, he could be getting the hatchet job as we speak.
  16. I’m told the kid likes the school but lost confidence in the program. Day is a good coach and recruiter, but UM is his daddy. Ohio state’s days of raiding Texas are over.
  17. I’m very curious about the timing now. My gut tells me we will be waiting another week. Herman will quickly find a landing spot and that only works in our favor. My guess is we want to polish that turd more than we want to get UM on the recruiting trail. Not the way I’d go about it, but I’m sure there are several factors I don’t know about.
  18. New prediction for our new reality- UM will bring Ewers back in the fold.
  19. New prediction for our new reality- UM will flip the Fort Worth twins.
  20. We are good to go my friend. All that’s left is the final details.
  21. I’m so FUCKING jacked up this morning. Im just gonna throw it out there. This moment represented an existential threat for our entire program. Rebellion at home. Hordes of sheep fucking and meth smoking barbarians at our gates. I have a close work tie to a very active donor. His last name is on a building on campus. He intervened on our behalf basically his whole adult life, and after a long period of time consuming participation, he got burned out after the Eyes debacle. He’s now out of the game completely. It’s my opinion our school let him and a lot of us down. There are a lot of good alums just like him that are deeply disappointed with our school. It is what it is. I don’t care for politics. In the end, I think there are people supporting our program and people holding us back. Traditionally, the people holding us back have run the school. Well, this moment represents a big win for the people that truly care about winning. I’m filled with true happiness with how all of these people have come together for a common mission. Win or lose in the future, our school is a healthier place from this deal. I am not yet able to contribute financially other than my season tickets, but I help in other ways that I think makes a difference. This whole deal has reaffirmed my commitment to do what I can to help us win and defeat our rivals. Like I said, I’m fucking jacked. Hook em.
  22. Hey @futureman night night, keep ya butthole tight.
  23. Yep.
  24. Apologies, I’ve been traveling this weekend. A close and well connected friend texted me that it’s done. He said 8 years for 80 million which blows my mind because that seems too good to be true, but he is assuredly just sharing what he has heard. I haven’t heard from my text thread again but I don’t think I will until the news hits the media. Confidence level remains HIGH.
  25. I’m eons behind. Do y’all realize it’s happening yet?
