    Yeah, but Austin is a pretty small legal community (most firms only have a small footprint). If you're looking to transition into a decently sized Austin office of a law firm, you're pretty much looking at there, Winstead and Graves Daugherty. I wouldn't put any stock in Powers being there. Tuggle is a really well regarded estate planning lawyer, so I'm sure some big wig (UT connected or otherwise) had his or her plane put in Tuggle's name for anonymity.

    Why the stop in Allegheny County, PA before going to Columbus?

    Look, Joe Brady is an offensive genius. What he did at LSU last year was remarkable. He CANNOT be the choice. He's been an NCAA D1 coach for ONE year.

    Doesn't UT need to post the vacancy and invite public applicants? I seem to recall some sort of waiting period when Tom was hired.

    Well, sure, but I imagine the extension was done via a simple amendment that basically extended the term and said his comp is now increased from X to Y. But I haven't seen the extension, so who knows.

    I haven't seen the extension posted, but I don't know why Herman would have agreed to that.

    Relatedly, "1-0 Culture, LLC" is about as cringe worthy as I'd expect from Herman.

    Here's Tom's contract (without the recent extension, couldn't find that) for those so inclined: https://static.texastribune.org/media/files/6848d600da55db1efc9d299a0d4f9d76/Herman_contract.pdf

    Didn't Bobby say Cristobal is off limits due to the Phil Knight/Nike relationship?

    Exactly. You advised these citizens that it was okay to vote this way and now you're trying to throw out their vote because you don't like the result. I can't imagine the remedy would be to disenfranchise all of these mail in voters who voted in a way you told them was okay (oh, and it is the middle of a pandemic). I truly have no idea what the remedy could be - do make the potentially effected people vote in person? Do we even know who those people are? Could you organize this "re-vote" before the inauguration? Does any of these actually matter since Biden has enough electoral votes even without PA?

    CDC did an interview with Chip Brown over the summer. Brown asked him what he looks for when he hires corches, and CDC said his single biggest requirement is that the person has built and maintained a program twice. He said he didn't want a corch who had a few successful years at one place and that's it. I thought that was a really interesting answer because (a) that definitely didn't describe Herman and (b) maybe means he won't be enthralled with a guy like Billy Napier.

    Do the Surly litigators think there is any real merit to the PA constitutional argument regarding the mail in ballots? Of course it is utterly laughable that republicans are seeking to declare a law that they voted for unconstitutional, but if there is something to it, that could present quite the cluster. What sort of remedy would the court be likely to grant? I can't see them throwing out all of the ballots and calling it a day - I have no idea what sort of remedy would work here.

    There are times when I wonder why I do this to myself. Scrolling through the twitter feed of a "TexasFancyBoots" for coaching information at 8:30 on a Friday night is one of those times.

    I've read (although I obviously can't verify) that it effects around 400 ballots and that it is an improvement from the 2016 numbers, which obviously weren't challenged by republicans.

    Lulz. Never change, K&E. (although we all want to be that associate at times, tbh)

    I agree with the general premise of this, but re: #2, what in the 2020 senate election gives you hope that they'll be shamed into good behavior? Look at how they just handled Merrick Garland/ACB! All things considered (Trump being a moron, COVID goes nuts, tons of unemployment, etc.), they had a banner election year in the senate and house. If there's raw power to be had, they'll go for it.
  17. Keef
    Of course the nightmare scenario in all of this is Biden wins with 270 and Trump and the crazies manage to peel off one faithless elector in a state that doesn't require the electoral college to vote in accordance with the state's presidential election results.
  18. Keef
    i have to say, that is a very University friendly contract. Wow Tom.
  19. Keef
    I don't think his contract is in the public domain, but termination for "cause" definitions (assuming Tom had halfway decent representation) are generally drafted pretty narrowly if the employee has any leverage at all. Tom had a ton of leverage. Plus, I don't think anyone wants a public spat over whether the termination is for "cause" or not.
  20. Keef
    You mean Tech isn't the 1999 Rams?
  21. Keef
    Isn't Tom owed a ton of guaranteed money? He's not going anywhere, even if the rest of the season is a massive disappointment. Reading between the lines on the Jake Smith and Brennan Eagles reporting and Super K saying a few days ago he expects us to lose 3-4 recruits based on negative recruiting coming from current players, it is crystal clear that some kind of blowup happened and there are real issues going on behind the scenes. This team needs to win and use the bye week to get their shit together.

    I'd bet the WH is quietly okay with this. Blocking him from testifying earlier bought them some time to get stories straight. Plus Sondland is a Trump guy all the way (think he was a 7 figure donor) so he'll put things as positively for Trump as possible.
  23. Keef
    No idea. But the notion that those self-serving DOJ memos saying that a sitting President can't be indicted for a crime are absurd. They are arguably binding on a DOJ employee (which I think Mueller was?), but I don't think courts will ascribe them any weight.
  24. Keef
    Trump is trying to fight this in the political arena rather than the legal arena, which is smart.

    Apparently there are messages and emails on the ambassadors personal device that are being withheld by the administration as well.
