  1. Theres no way this deal is over. Sark hasnt fired a single bullet on our behalf. Ewers legitimately likes us a lot. We already told him we are basically going to design an NIL campaign around him. I dont know if that will be enough, but theres no way the kid isnt going to second guess the Ohio State deal if Sark makes him a priority.

  2. Our bag program under Strong and Herman has been decent. We really don’t have that far to go, we just need more sophistication and organization. I’m seeing a lot of names for these hires that could bring us up to speed over the offseason. It’s great that Sark has learned that side of the game from two of the best to ever do it (Carroll and Saban), but he’s gonna need sophisticated assistants that will be smart about setting it up properly. We lack reliable donor/alum infrastructure. It’s just not something that we have ever been able to set up here, and it’s 100% necessary to compete nowadays.

    Did they know in early December that Herman was definitely getting fired? I picked that up on the Texas side so I never sweated Herman staying like many did. 

    I really think it was OU. I think everyone on our side felt like we shouldve won the conference this year. Once we limped out of the gate with Tech everyone knew we were in for trouble. Then we lose to TCU. Then we cant get it done against OU. Thats when the Meyer stuff really heated up. 

  4. But after Dec. 5th, my text thread went completely silent. I documented all of that in real time in this thread. I got all sorts of little hints from good places that UM was still in play, so that’s what I stuck to. UM himself told us he was happy with our offer. I really thought everything was just smoke and that we would announce UM when his guys were ready to join him. I posted last night that Herman getting fired today wouldn’t make sense to me. Then today there was weird activity with good donors saying there’s no way Steve Sarkisian was anything more than a distraction. But the news kept getting more serious. 

  5. Then after the OU game, my text thread lit up like a Christmas tree and the talk was big about blah blah we don’t have to do this anymore we can just hire UM. 
     

    Throughout the rest of the season UM was communicating with us about the job. Fast forward to the K State game, and that text thread starts celebrating about UM. Then a whole bunch of peripheral UT people got all excited about UM. That’s when I told this thread that I was “all in”.

    So why did your contacts believe he was still in play? As I posted earlier he told us no in November and again the first week of December. My info came from the Urban side. I don’t see how certain BMD’s could be that far out of the loop. 

    I had very good donor insight up until Dec. 5th. There were two donors that I knew from the Charlie years that had me on a text thread. I earned my way onto that thread. I don’t have the $$$ to help, but I have the life long devotion. So I help where and how I can. Or I did, I’m not as young as I used to be.

    I have good insight from both the Dallas and Houston side as a result. The Houston side hasn’t meant much in this latest saga, they had their chance at the plate with Herman and it just didn’t work out. 
     

    The Dallas guys on my text thread started talking about UM last season. Basically saying that UM is sending us major signals that he wants to be courted. 
     

    Those same guys were saying stuff like “Urban told us what a joke this game was” or “Urban says Herman is meddling with the play calling.”

  7. I’m here to take my medicine and answer to anything I posted in the past. I believed UM was in play until I saw the tweet from the main UT account. I was wrong and I’m willing to take lumps from anyone over the matter.

  8. I’ll admit I’m feeling a bit worn out. I’ve got both friends and family talking to me about this constantly. Half are looking for affirmation, and half are angry with me for even thinking UM would consider us. I was hoping the fuse would be lit tonight. Oh well.

    if urban is our man, which i believe he is, then our next guy has been a go for some time. 

    Yea but Herman won’t be fired until he’s ready to make moves. Frankly, I think this Ohio state win blows.

    If the money was raised over the past couple of days and Tom is gone tomorrow like they said then we won't have to wait that long whether it's Urban or not. 

    I feel pretty confident that Herman won’t be fired until all systems are a go with our next guy. I just don’t think that’s tomorrow.

    The big men for tosu and bama will be an interesting matchup.  these fuckers might just get it done.  can't wait to see what the line is.  i'm guessing bama -8

    Yea I think your line is about right. I kind of wonder if it opens at 8 and gets knocked down to 7 quick.
