Back when ABC coverage maps were a thing a poster asked if Bandera would be getting the Texas game (when it should be obvious that Bandera would get it).

After clicking the link and taking a stroll down memory lane, I typed in HornFans.com and holy shit, that site is still up and running? There's actually traffic there? Wow.

Having been a Cal fan my entire life, I wouldn't wish that on anyone

Bad attempt at a joke on my part, I guess.  There's an occasional theme that UT admin and AD - in their occasional perceived apathy or inaction - are trying to turn the UT AD "into Cal" with academic standards and other agendas.  If Cal was able to get Marshawn Lynch and DeSean Jackson on the field, their "academic standards" are allowed to slide...

I'm more irritated that the admin has decided to use FCB as their mouthpiece.  If you're going to do that, at least use a "reporter" who hasn't actively tried to hurt the school and the team.

They werent terrible students but those days are over at Cal.  They're closer to ND and Stanfurd these days in who they admit.  Think they're allowed 1 sub 3.0 gpa admit per class or something these days.

 

And frankly, considering Cal's budget challenges and struggles to hold onto top notch faculty, I suspect Texas's academic rep is closer to Cal's than most realize these days

So Nahlin continues to claim Milwee isn’t big on recruting while providing absolutely 0 evidence to support that, but his quoted source literally says Milwee’s “masterful” at recruiting.  Ok, Eric. 

Expand  

I cannot forecast to you the mental processes of Nahlin.  He is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, but perhaps there is a key.  That key is IT's monetary interest.

At least it seems we are keeping our creative team. 

 

Expand  

Yes it’s my understanding a lot of them work on non-football stuff too and they were all told right after Sark was announced. Don’t know if everyone was kept but key ones were

Overall academic reputation - yes; absolutely.  Athletics, on the other hand, will not be encumbered in a similar fashion.

Can't see Charlie back to Texas happening in any form, but is the board consensus that there is no role we would be ok with? I think for me it looks like: 

DC: fuck no, we riot

LB: eh, sure I could talk myself into it under the right defensive coordinator who can keep him focused as a teacher/recruiter 

analyst: would be happy with it, can't have enough over-qualified big-names around the facility

Not that Nahlin knows anything, but it’d be very Texas for things to erupt into a bidding war for a DC with one year of P5 experience at Mississippi State.

Are we sure Charlie is over qualified for an analyst position?

So fucking tired of us just saying, welp let's just roll with it this year and see if it works, if not, we'll replace them. Meanwhile ou wins another conference championship. Hire the best possible now and quit fucking around.

Expand  

I wouldn't consider this a welp let's roll with it situation. He may actually be the best option left with Boom, Odom, and even Freeman out. And he'd bring continuity. Although Sark must be talking to people we aren't even discussing so maybe there are better options I haven't considered.

Everyone has risk so it's just an added benefit that he's got an easy out if we want to go chase Boom or another whale next year.

No, Thanks. But to each his own. 
I do like the stamping of the Article/Color/Factory numbers on the lateral heel counter, though.

Yep, looks like the Citation X initially predicted. Model appears to match. And it was operated by XOJets - they brand the engines with their company name and you can't make it out in the video but the one Stark stepped out of is clearly branded. 

Edit: And the only other contender just left MIA. The one linked above was the only MIA arrival in ATX since the game, timing of posting video checks out. I'm certain we were correct.

Expand  

Are we talking about the plane in the video?  That's definitely a Challenger.

You haven't been paying attention. Our band pussed out this season in spite of the fact that the team and University had come to an agreement regarding The Eyes.

 

CDC greeted Sarkisian with our school songs on a kazoo.

That’s not an X (the one in the sark vid).

No...I guess I'm not sure about that but I doubt he couldn't do any damage.

Hire Herman for an analyst role that he feels like he is too good for and his asshole energy probably fucks with with whole building. At least people seem to like Charlie?

You can get more info from our podcast than this shit ass writeup. More "fucks" too. 

Really excited to see what happens in the next 48 hours. We may delay taping to thursday if some big moves haven't happened by then, but tomorrow seems to be a good day to bet on more hires being announced.
