I think your guy has things backwards with Lville and OU. OU I thought was a HUGE champion of Lville because OU's school president David Boren is really good friends with Kentucky Mitch McConnell. I thought OU lobbied for Lville but UT wanted WVU.

The Big 12 actually helped Swofford and the ACC design the GOR document. I think you can find the Big 12's online somewhere. It's four pages and very basic. IE ambiguous. It pretty much invites lawyers to challenge it and spend a ridiculous amount of time and money trying to find ways out of...

Gtech would laugh the Big 12 out of the room in this scenario. Put yourself in the shoes of the President or Regent at Gtech. How the HELL are you going to sell a move to the Big 12?!? Especially if presidents and Regents from other ACC schools start leaning on you to stay. Gtech to the Big...

I wonder if the Maryland exit fee settlement will spur another conversation. FSU was a faint possibility but Clemson I think is a total longshot. They might have one or two important people unhappy in the ACC but the significant majority of Clemson stakeholders, Regents, Big Cigars etc, LOVE...

I pegged Meander as a breakout player.

Disagree. It was time for a change of scenery IMO.

This has been an adventure with Captaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain Obvious!

Been doing crossfit for three years. In my first nine months I dropped about 40-45 pounds. Ate strict paleo diet and worked out three to four times a week. The past four to five months have been tougher for me to keep up with crossfit. I think a combo of getting burned out and wear and tear...

Glad the team is doing well and winning some games. However, for me, it's all about March. If we go one and done or two and BBQ, none of this will mean much. At least to me. I'm a fringe CBB fan.

Can you share anything compelling about conference affiliation in the next few years? The Big 12 sucks!

Never said I talked to him. Said you should HEAR what Harsin said about Chambers. My buddy helped Harsin inside Belmont on all kinds of issues. Camps, admin stuff, football camp organization, stuff like that. I know what I know and I'll leave it at that.

Sorry but those guys are going to be left holding the bag again. I don't know how their sources can do this to themselves time after time.

I know. My response post was ill conceived. I wasn't trying to trash you. Just seems UT doesn't do "Behind the scenes" well at all. Over the last few months, it appears we are total amateurs at coaching changes. I guess thats what happens when you haven't made a coaching change in 16 years...

His recruiting prowess is overblown. His track record as an actual COACH at Texas is dreadful. The guy has seriously failed in every metric possible when one evaluates the "coaching" profession. From talent identification, to development, to on field production the guy is an absolute zero...

Man I would love for anything you or JS write to actually come to fruition in some capacity.

Time to move on people.

Huge win. Big time recruiter with significant Texas ties and runs an offense kids will be excited about. Will utilize Jerrod Heard like Braxton Miller. Huge Huge IMO.

Here are some more of my thoughts: Pac 12 Texas and the Pac 10/12 have flirted with each ever since the early 90s. The UT "DNA" is closer to the west coast schools like Cal, Stanford, UCLA, USC and Washington so I think a lot of UT stakeholders from academics, athletics, politics, and...

This x1000

Lot of reasons. Wants tell his assistant coaches and players first? School admins, BMDs, etc?
