  1. Chip guaranteed we were joining PAC10, remember?
  2. I’m not getting concerned until next Monday.
  3. Hudson Card and a new OL coach might make me take a peek.
  4. Accept it was brief and too the point.
  5. Y’all gotta stop setting your expectations so high. I’m all for hope and optimism, but you always have to prepare for the worst case scenario. Expecting shit to go down today is just asking for heartache. Personally, I think Urban has agreed in principle and we’re going to be very happy by this time next week, but I realize I’m putting a lot of faith in people with no apparent credibility or authority. I’m completely prepared for everything to fall through and for us to return to Macovic-era desolation and apathy. The distilleries will still make bourbon, there will still be good bbq, and I will still live in Texas. I lived through the mid to late 80s and 90s; I’ll live through this.
  6. Shaka with hair looks like a turtle head. But he is better than Tom.
  7. Is there a chance that this BMD wanted to keep a lid on things and gave you some misinformation?
  8. How the hell did Futureman make your list?
  9. Agreed
  10. I missed that.
  11. If he had said, “no,” the Fox crew would’ve done segments on Tom’s likelihood of being fired, like Game Day did. I watched both, and Fox definitely tip-toed around the subject. Game Day was all over it, because it’s clearly a huge story. Herbstreit basically said it would take an Urban Meyer-level coach to win at Texas. I think Herbstreit knows what’s coming.
  12. I don’t take Sark being a Plan B seriously.
  13. The reason I could see things stretching out is that Urban is still trying to put a staff together and OSU is trying to make the playoff. I agree with alphahorn that the deal is probably already done. I think Urban will mail this recruiting class in and raid the transfer portal. He’s getting Sanders regardless of when he announces. That’s the big fish. A lot of the early enrollees aren’t going anywhere. I’m not saying it won’t happen tomorrow. My gut just tells me neither party is in a hurry because Urban is building a staff behind the scenes and we still have one game remaining.
  14. I tend to agree.
  15. Allen (so far) doesn’t lose games he’s supposed to win. Last year, his four losses were MSU, Penn State, Michigan, Ohio State and then Tennessee in the bowl game. He plays sound defense. They force tons of turnovers. They were losing to Ohio State by 28 and damn near came back and won. They fight like hell and they play smart. I don’t know if his coaching style would translate to 4 & 5 star kids, but he definitely gets everything out of his 2&3 star kids. I’d probably prefer to see him get another season under his belt, but I’m impressed so far. Campbell loses games he shouldn’t from time to time. That’s a red flag for me.
  16. Bingo.
  17. Meanwhile, ESPN is all over the Herman/Meyer saga.
  18. If the Fox pregame doesn’t mention Urban being on the hot seat, then I have to believe this thing is done and Urban is ours.
  19. I’m gonna give myself a pat on the back for remembering that from that far back. It may have just been a preliminary interview, though. Derek Chang is also former OSU. Honesty, I think Carrington would do just as well. If Carrington can sell the Herman program, he’ll have no problem selling Urban, and the recruits already have a relationship with him.
  20. Wow, didn’t realize he was there that long. Ouch.
  21. Ash was only there a year, right?
  22. https://pittsburghpanthers.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/adam-caltury/1784 here you go. Looks like he predates the Purdue guy.
  23. I guess recruiting coordinators and strength coaches are different, but the guy at Pitt may be more recent than 2017. Or whoever said the guy at Pitt was a protege could be wrong. I’m just regurgitating what I read over 100 pages ago.
