    Just because yall have blind faith that we're getting a guy that we have little to no chance of getting doesnt make me a troll it makes me the most sane person on this site

    Given that insanity is generally described as “doing the same thing and expecting a different result” and what UT has done in the last decade, sanity is not a trait of a UT fan. Get out of here.

    What I'm getting from this is Urban/the family are in Austin grabbing dinner. There is a UT announcement. Lots of celebrating with the kids. Kirk and the couch burners in tears.

    For comparisons, Fox pays Terry Bradshaw 5M on the NFL show.

    Their top NFL game analyst, Troy Aikman, makes 7.5.

    Meyer is good on the show, very good, but they’re going to bump him 8+? What about the other guys on the set? You know they’ll be asking.

    Totally agree - just wanted to post his response since it gives us some insight into why he thinks it's done.

    Still highly vague. Interpretation?

    My guess is that they heard from a family member or close friend that Urban is worried about health/Shelley or daughters not on board/Fox will give him more money etc. Which, to my understanding, was all true at some point or another. But, we’ve seen that this has trended positively for Texas and Texans7 on 247 has been spot on so far until the “verbal commitment” comment. His latest schtick is that everything is good, but that most reporters etc are 1-2 days behind on the news cycle. If that’s the case, makes perfect sense that Kirk/OSU people are hearing negative stuff because that’s also what we were hearing 1-2 days ago from the Texas side. 
     

    This is my 2 cents of what’s going on - so take with that in mind.

    The few UT BMDs I know in the NYC finance crowd have been really tight lipped about everything (and I’m very young in comparison so they probably are not too keen on sharing with some rando alum fresh out of school). The one that I do know well (lady who is in upper management at the hedge fund I work at) has only said that “things are trending a lot better” but nothing on a “verbal commitment”.

    Guy seems full of crap tbh. He's made some other shitty predictions that flopped.

    Are you one of the new Buckeye peeps keeping an eye on us? You're also new and all of your recent posts have been on Urban not coming...
