Ohio State fans are a unique bunch. I’ve met some smart people there and I’ve asked them what’s up with the couch burning jersey wearing mouth breathing pasty fats that makeup their fan base. They just shrug and say at least their football team doesn’t suck and I go drink Tito’s on the rocks from a pint glass in solidarity with my fearless leader.
I wasn’t on this board at the time but on other boards I tried to tell everyone that there’s a 0% chance Tom Herman was going to LSU. The deal was done, had been in the works for months.
This isn’t that type of slam dunk but everything has been very positive and most importantly we didn’t fuck anything up. It’s been the opposite. There’s no way that thread gets that text last night unless something really good happened. It wasn’t a done deal but it had to have been good enough that the thing didn’t all of a sudden flip in less than 24 hours.
If something definitive happens we will know. I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say a lot of these donors view this as the most important activity they will ever partake in on behalf of the program, and a lot of these guys were out due to the eyes debacle and came rushing back in because Meyer convinced them it was worth it.
Fuck his friends, family, dog walker whatever. We gave him an offer he couldn’t turn down and whatever happened last night was VERY positive. I’m still all in.
I hope we promised Urban a personal SpaceX launch pad in the middle of the six pack. Its college football. You say whatever it takes to get them to sign and then pretend like it never happened once theyre done moving their 10 million dollar dorm room in.
I make this my primary thread of interest, and all of a sudden I’m sitting down with a composite pig tripe and stomach sandwich and contemplating whether Odessa is worse than Port Arthur.
Ask yourself a question- if CDC needs a dildo like Davis to tweet out that he’s so totally running the show, what does that say about our athletic director? Dude is a lightweight.
No new texts this morning. I'm not bothering anyone right now, I'm a small fish and I dont want to get booted from the thread. I never text and just kind of hope they forgot Im on there. I helped with some stuff in the past that isnt even relevant anymore.
Something happened last evening that made Urban and us happy. Pure speculation, but my guess is Urban asked for some more things and we agreed. I didnt expect to hear from that thread until the news hit the media. Side note- I just assume no one from the thread is on Surly. Don't know if they would give a shit or not, but that was a direct quote- "I'll be shocked if Meyer is not coaching on our sidelines next year."
OK FOLKS. From a text thread I’m on, a Big Dick Cigar just threw us a bone and said “I’ll be shocked if Herman isn’t on our sidelines next year.”
Dallas guy. Guaranteed he was at the recent Dallas pow wow. I’m officially on the It’s happening train.
I have no new info and likely wont until everything breaks, but I feel very good about the way things are trending. Our BMDs got together in Dallas to pass around the hat, and then members of our board met with Meyer in person? Thats straight up foreplay after the girl has been telling you she's horny and wants to fuck you.
This is correct. Herman wont get canned until Meyer makes a decision. If Meyer says yes before our game, Herman will get canned either Saturday afternoon or Sunday evening. If Meyer says yes after our game, Herman will get canned immediately. All of this was communicated to Meyer a while ago, it plays absolutely zero factor in Meyer's decision.
People chill. It was clear Meyer wasnt going to sit down and make a decision until he had an offer in hand, which didnt happen until yesterday. We've been informally contacting people all over the country for months now. That happens at every program when they have a coach on the hot seat.
Finalized offer went out this afternoon. Dont know for how much and how long. Dude who told me was on a phone call where they discussed it. Up to Urban now but he has basically told us for over a month now he wants the job. Full "alignment" on our end.
The alcohol has been an issue from the get go. I don’t think it’s been anything too ridiculous like Sark, I think people just wonder if it affects his job.
I don’t think anything happened with a UT employee. More like being an adulterer doesn’t play great in momma’s living room.
And the good news is I’m just an anonymous asshole on a message board so there’s zero reason to believe any of what I’m saying.
But Tommy has been a naughty boy and it may cost him a hell of a lot more than his coaching job.
