  1. He is definitely positioning things this way, and I'm quite certain purposefully. It's basically the only leverage he has, outside of $.
  2. Wait, are you saying the "if not Urban Meyer" poll thread is not the ADs official way of deciding was to pursue next if Meyer falls through?
  3. Either he fucked us over or we fucked ourselves over, or maybe a bit of both. Would love to hear one of the surly lawyers interpretation of how that was able to go down. After the shit he and Wickline pulled with his title and the osu contract, no one should really have been surprised. Edit to add, the only thing that gives me slight joy from the while usf/Strong contract debacle is that they probably thought they were taking advantage of us, but later learned Strong was taking advantage of all sides. No matter how cheap he seemed when they hired him, they still massively overpaid. That's what they get for trying to fuck over another school with a shitty contract arrangement like that.
  4. This is the #1 thing I'd like to see Texas adjust in coaching hires. Strong and Herman are reminders that your ability to succeed in your first stop doesn't always translate elsewhere. We should definitely have our eyes on guys like Elliot and build a relationship for something down the road, but let him go prove it somewhere else before we come calling. I don't particularly like him, but James Franklin is a decent profile for the kind of coach we should go after. Had really unexpected success at Vandy and has followed that up with a respectable run at Penn State. He's had good teams at multiple schools with different players, and I think he can coach. Again, I don't really want him in Austin, but guys like him and Petersen from Boise/UW are the more proven types of candidates we should target. Fleck might fit this bill, too, if he can sustain success at Minn for a few years
  5. Did you guys know there's a politics board? I've heard it's great. You should check it out and also move all of this political dumbfuckery to it so the rest of us can enjoy the football board as a break from that shit.
  6. Maybe when Meyer ditches us after 4-5 years (like everyone is predicting) with at least a couple of NCs under his belt, Saban can ditch Bama and come win one here, too. You know, just to get even. That would be fine.
  7. It is definitely odd. I'm curious if the way the Saban news leaked and fucked it all up has resulted in more of a gag order this time around. Or, maybe nothing at all is happening. But it's probably the former.
  8. Spend a few hours away on a Sunday to, you know, spend some time with the family. Come back to nearly 100 new posts and think something interesting might have happened. Scroll through to find out we're arguing about nursing and posting paystubs.
  9. Not only that, this is an example where after the prom queen "uses" you, your standing is elevated to where a bunch of prom queen like girls who wouldn't have been interested before suddenly are. Even if you were being used, you're left in an objectively better situation afterwards. There's really no argument against this.
  10. Not sure if serious? Should we slow down and do a more thorough search to make sure no one better than Meyer is available?
  11. Ok, now you're actually saying something. May not be true, but at least it's something. I happen to think the picture does look like Meyer, and since I want it to be true, sure I'll believe it.
  12. The one in prosper has only existed for a year or two, and they had to shut it down for a while late last year/early this year and basically redo a bunch of the floor. Seems like possibly not a great sign for the longevity/upkeep of these things. They sure as hell tried to keep it quiet, too.
  13. Yeah, I get that, but at least jabba mcrib actually says something. Sure, he caveats it and walks it back all the time, but he says something. All we have here is a random picture of a guy who might be a guy who might be interested in coaching at Texas. Real ovaries on the table moment there.
  14. I'm not even sure how we're getting trolled. A picture was posted that may or may not be Urban Meyer with no context whatsoever. I don't doubt that pictures of Urban Meyer at events exist. Does the fact that someone finds/posts one mean he's heading for Texas? I mean, I'm sticking by believing it's true because I want to believe, but really nothing that means anything has been posted, whether that picture is Urban Meyer or not. I do love that we've decided that the picture on the phone that the guy who may or may not be Urban Meyer is looking at is Charlie Strong, just because it possibly looks like there might be a black guy in it.
  15. Waiting long enough for this or for USCs season to implode are why I don't like waiting. I think the latter is more concerning than the former.
  16. If there's ever been proof that winning cures all...
  17. Holy shit, I just realized "yt" is white. That's fucking funny.
  18. Does anyone have the decoder ring for this?
  19. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems like if Tom ignored direct orders from cdc on how the team was to engage regarding the eot, AND as a direct result of that decision the AD was losing $ from donors, that's a more material issue. The "I told you to have your team stay for the song and you ignored me and I don't like it" argument is much more eye-roll inducing than the "I told you to have your team stay for the song and you ignored me and as a direct result a bmd is threatening to pull a substantial donation" argument.
  20. Yeah, that's it, Florida wasn't overrated, aggy was UNDERrated after a complete fluke blowout by Bama. If they played again 10 times, aggy probably wins all 10 rematches.
  21. Now THIS is more like it. So many words to say, we'll either hire Urban, stick with Herman, or hire someone else. Which one is most likely? Well, 1, or 3, or possibly 2 also depending on how things play out. Situation is fluid. This is the $9.95 we've been waiting for.
  22. We got this all worked out yesterday. There's a thread for this discussion. Today we're focused on a completely unverified claim from a completely unverified source that we'll treat as 100% gospel bc we like the message.
  23. All of it makes sense except December 1. I'm sure others have asked this, any response on that board? If the money is there, deal is basically done, sitting around and letting this season play out with no news doesn't make a lot of sense, really.
