  1. Yes, dipshit, that’s clearly the most likely. Thanks for stating the obvious.
  2. Thanks @Caddox, keep us posted. To be completely honest, I FlightAware’ed the shit out of your post history given your silence today and saw nothing to suggest we have reason to trust you on this other than your word in this thread, but I’m going to because you seem like a cool dude and you’re selling stuff I want to hear. On a related note — as this is partly based on the assumption Caddox has legit sources and the timing of him getting to the point of supreme confidence this morning that it was a done deal and down to the lawyers and “final details” — I’m not entirely dismissing the possibility that the Urban agreed to terms in principle last night or this morning on the basis that UT provide some extreme cover for a few days. Reasons being to deflect the spotlight (which he may not have appreciated the intensity of until recently), let the tOSU or other school’s staff he’s planning to take or still courting get some breathing room until the end of the regular season, publicly project that Urban wasn’t lined up before Herman was even chopped, and give UT time to get their house in order with Herman (whether that’s simply firing him, negotiating a buyout now that they know they’ve got his replacement, helping him to scout out a soft landing, or all of the above) while dual-tracking the papering of contracts of Urban and his known staffers so everything is lined up for them to hit the ground running come late next weekend with only a couple of days to go before NSD 1. Anticipating some responses might be “why would UT agree to totally embarrassing itself by doing that / what we saw last night?” Only reasons I could think of it was non-negotiable requirement in Urban putting pen to paper (also would allow him to test UT’s commitment to providing him extreme control over the program before even setting foot in Belmont) and, if they know with certainly that getting Urban is the ultimate payout in making that deal, the temporary egg-on-face is far outweighed (and will be forgotten in an instant) due to the payout. Would also be a way to test whether leaks through BMDs could be truly cut off if CDC/Hartzell know the consequences and make a concerted effort. I fully realize m it reads like fan fiction are odds are it is, and not saying I subscribe to the theory, just that that misdirection and outright lies are commonplace in coaching searches and it’s not outside the realm of possibility.
  3. The staff thing was reported by multiple outlets, IIRC. But same point stands re credibility as I think they were of the 9.95 variety. As for Broaddus, devil's advocate would say (a) Broaddus is likely very connected in the coaching/agent world generally and/or (b) it's plausible Urban was testing the waters with NFL assistants.
  4. Likewise, but with the small caveat that I would read silence/them burning down their Twitter account never to be seen again as very telling. Basically, don't lend any weight to them doubling down, would put weight in them abandoning ship.
  5. Second member of Twitter Trio quadrupling down, with hedging on timing.
  6. Good point, a full-team meeting followed by separate positional meetings was the report. Can't remember if it was our surly frat bro or a reporter/9.95'er. If true, it certainly wouldn't line up with the absolute bunkering down of football activities narrative.
  7. Polly want a cracker.
  8. Would expect that team's COVID testing procedures have been publicized in pretty good detail. If that's the case, anyone know the frequency/days of the week for testing? Every Sunday would be logical but just curious in case there's a deviation from the norm in the timing here. Main thing that makes me curious is that this is the first time this has happened the entire season, correct? Vaguely recall 9.95'ers mentioning COVID cases in mid-week reports and, if memory is correct there, particularly odd if there have been mid-week cases and they were not met with similar precautionary actions to the same degree we're seeing now.
  9. Sunday practice and Monday Zoom meeting cancelled, now one of the Twitter Trio has quadrupled down. Clickity clack, motherfuckers!
  10. His last post was four hours ago and it was three squid emojis in a row so, you know, read into that what you will but I'm personally taking that to mean it's still happening.
  11. I feel like I can hear the faint clicks of the rollercoaster cautiously making it's way back up the next loop in the track....
  12. How's the internet availability in Bolivia? Hopefully better than Canada.
  13. It's a sad state of affairs when I want to believe what Ketch is saying.
  14. @Caddox. What is the chatter on the BMD GroupMe chat you're on? Surely you've been seeing activity on there given the recent news. Bonus points for any updated prediction from the "I'd be shocked if Urban isn't on the UT sidelines next year" guy.
  15. Will be interested to see how RGL and CeddyB respond to the latest IT scoop (they're already being confronted), whether that's going silent, hedging/reeling it back or quadrupling down.
  16. Speaking of food, heating a large vat of boiling oil for a certain squid for a calamari fry-fest tonight.
  17. - All of them
  18. All these newcomer negative Nancies and sky-is-falling types (not referring to Johnny Sack) need to GTFO.
  19. Mountains of rep to anyone who creates a tOSU-branded Twitter account and gets EXily Gates to confirm where her friend's flight was heading. Logic would suggest it was going LA --> Columbus, but who knows.
  20. Oh fuck, we about to have to get to commercial-included flight tracking up in this bitch?
  21. Way too moist #terryprice
  22. Would the Junior have way to know whether a team meeting or anything of the sort has been called in place of practice? Assuming for sake of discussion practice is cancelled and it's going down, just trying to think the next step in the process that would be a tell.
  23. Well that's intriguing news. Out of rep but your and their service to the cause is appreciated.
  24. Doing the Lord's work. Hoping this comes through, but your pledges are garbage and need a new trainer if you can't text them at 1 p.m. on a Sunday during finals week and have them run down to the practice fields/Belmont on a whim based on message board rumors. Just saying.
