  1. Alright Aristotle, let's have a logic-based debate then. Most methods of logic boil down to introducing facts and proving sources. We have several sources (RGL, Texans7, InjuryProne etc.) who have been correct about things in the past (re: recruits, Quinn Ewers situation, other parts of the Urban saga) who are stating that the deal is done. Some of those sources have said that an announcement would be made today (hence everyone's interest). If what you're saying is true, and the admin would make an announcement whenever Urban is signed, then why haven't they? Our other sources of info haven't been disproved. If they are, I will accept that. But your argument here isn't centered on logic, proving the validity of sources, or any other approach - it's literally been "I don't think this is true and it's wrong." You don't have a source or a fact - you are presenting your opinion. That's fine, just don't present it as logic. I haven't taken any of your posts personally, I just said that I don't appreciate you being a downer to everyone else. After establishing your lack of logic above, and taking your own admission of mockery in the above quoted post, I think it's fair to say you are being a "meanie", right? If anyone's projecting anything here, it's you, isn't it? It would seem that you took it personally that I called you out, tried to defend it by saying you're having a "debate" (despite your clear lack of any attempt to introduce facts or prove sources), and now are resorting to mockery (again, as you yourelf stated). Mockery without facts is just an ad hominem attack.
  2. Haha, I’m not mad - just unsure why you’re being hypocritical here. Your last several posts have done none of those things, and have just generally been raining on people’s parades. You really came to this thread expecting logic? After everything that’s happened the last several days? I’m here for the camaraderie and the fun of it all, and to celebrate if this pans out the way we want it to. Don’t appreciate you being a dick just to assuage your ego lol.
  3. Damn somebody didn’t have their Irish Coffee today. You’ve been acting like someone stuck a rod up your ass all morning.
  4. Given that MBB is playing today, would think that any announcement (if it is coming today) probably doesn’t happen until the game against Villanova is over.
  5. Has anyone DM’ed Larry recently to ask if timeline has changed? I remember someone did that before. I would but I’m not allowed to have a Twitter due to work policy.
  6. Someone made the connection of RGL to Meyer/a well-connected agent before - would make sense if RGL was connected/related to Trace somehow. Trace is the agent for a lot of the top CFB coaches and athletes so would make sense that he would know a lot about what's going on.
  7. Thanks - this is awesome because now we know Trace is not his agent, which means Kirk is 100% confirmed to be full of shit. Let us know if you hear back!
  8. Hahaha I've had the same thought nearly every year. I think I actually remember Rod Babers saying once that OU teaches their OL to hold because the refs won't call it more than once every so often because they don't want to look biased.
  9. Pretty funny because I think I saw something that said Trace is also Herman's agent. Smart man is getting paid on brokering two jobs haha
  10. Barton saying that Meyer will give the "No" on Tuesday: https://imgur.com/a/xoml6I1 He says in there that Trace Armstrong is his agent. @derpyhorndog I think you were trying to find out who Meyer's agent is right? Thought that was weird though because I saw news reports that Meyer split with Trace after the Zach Smith fiasco but maybe they got back together. If we could figure out where Trace is, might help with the flight shenanigans. But I guess this gives us a clear timeline - if Meyer says yes, it will be before Tuesday (so Herman has to be fired tomorrow/Meyer hired Monday), otherwise it's a no. Or Kirk is full of shit.
  11. Sorry guys and gals - for some reason I can't copy and paste the image into here on my computer so had to use an imgur link again. https://imgur.com/a/ciQ0pxy Thought this was an interesting change in tone from Kirk Barton. He has really started hedging here - he previously seemed 100% confident and stated Urban not coming as a fact. Here he is presenting it as his opinion and presenting reasons for why Urban won't come. Thought the biggest tell was him starting off the post with "he's not going to take Marotti/Pantoni" which immediately IMO says "he might actually leave." Of course he caveats this at the end with him being willing to bet someone's site on this but this is a big step back from the "FINAL ANSWER" Bevo crying face Barton we saw a couple of days ago.
  12. How do you embed a photo in here from your computer (i.e. not using a link)?
  13. I’m ready baby, it’s time for night crew to get this party started 😎
  14. Sounds like you’re coming around on Urban. Better start coming around on that promise of yours.
  15. Our man Urban bobbing and weaving like Mike Tyson out here
  16. Lol Brando is a moron. I had Hartzell as a professor twice and he was my thesis advisor for a class. That man doesn’t give a rats ass about control, he just wants to be the best. I remember before he took over McCombs he wanted it to be better than Penn and completely turned the Honors program upside down to do it. I have no doubt he would do whatever it takes to bring Texas football back to the top.
  17. While I agree with you that if you had to absolutely pick one of the two, Pantoni is probably a bigger net positive, Marotti is still great given player development/injuries have been something we’ve really struggled with the past decade.
  18. I find it pretty funny that we basically just have a giant pile of money hanging over the heads of several college fan bases that's scaring the shit out of them. As Bobby Axelrod once said, "What's the point of f*ck you money if you can't say f*ck you?"
  19. Chip Brown behind as usual. “Meyer told intermediaries from UT on Monday...” Remember when we also heard things were no bueno on Monday? This is just outdated news he’s peddling for clicks.
  20. Our boy Larry going for the kill shot on Kirk’s career as a journalist: https://mobile.twitter.com/RapGameSports33/status/1334708848909832192
  21. Alumnihorn on 247 saying Barton doesn't know shit and that the real decision won't break on Twitter. Sounds about right. Says he's butthurt that he got shut out.
  22. Think this is BS but wanted to post the latest from the other side: https://imgur.com/a/hF14IcK Update from the BMD I was talking to - asked her about the FOX deal and she said "if you're leaving for a promotion at another firm and your current place offers you a raise, you tell them and everyone they talk to that you're gonna take it." So she seems unperturbed.
