Good morning! I wanted to quote something you wrote, but not your dissertation. Here are my thoughts on that:
-obviously, good, meticulous work. I'd expect no less.
-as I've said many times now. There are wildcards, but Gruden's not one of them. I can immediately dismiss any report about "He said no." It simply isn't true.
- talking about the war between boosters and admin. I don't think it is an accident that we get bad news at the same time each day. The admin side is attempting to do what the boosters have done with Bubba and MIT, except the admin is using people in the office with other stuff to do. MIT and bubba are watching everything we say. I believe they are hired professionals, in some way.
- the Haslam stuff reminds me why I don't want to be in politics. I don't want to need to scratch anyone's back. Ever.
-perhaps you are right that he caught wind of bev's decision on outsourcing. I'm hoping that yesterday evening's flurry of activity demonstrates that it is simply the first chip to be cashed in. I'm convinced that hubbs tweeted that because he was told to. I believe it really may have been the white smoke from the chimney.
- I know that the Haslams and the corkers are connected politically and personally, but I'm not sure that corker's presidential bid is a factor here. I just think the Haslam name can't be drug through the mud because of anyone's future in politics.
-PM adds value in so many ways. He is an instant unifier in any contentious negotiations. Plus, he is able to provide sweat equity that is of greater value than his monetary donations might be. Add to it that he is a scarabbean and his clout grows immeasurably.


-last night's message from the Beav really was a gift to me. I said yesterday that the Beav speaks to those that are here for hope, and bubba speaks to those that are here for the problem solving. But the Beav spoke to the problem solvers last night. What he was saying, really, is that the boosters have pocket aces for each hand of poker they are playing/each primary stakeholder. The AA cannot walk away from a deal that includes a VC firm in silicon valley funneling research to a school that aims to be a top 30 public research university. As a graduate from the college of engineering, I appreciate that the boosters brought in this piece.

The boosters have quite literally thought of everything. This is why they are billionaires today.

Yep seems that a group of boosters have gotten their ducks in a row so to speak and have something prepared for what ever may arise...

Bcarter do you think there is any way they trot butch out there today? And if they do will the media do their job and ask about the shouting match and Kendrick?

At this point my opinion is yes he will be there and no real questions will be asked. If they do ask they may lose their access right future coverage. Did you watch or listen to Monday's? He will get the usual softball questions because they know how ruthless the UT AD can be when they do not tie the line in official UT media settings.

Just the difference between Mcelwains post game presser and Butchs should make it easy to see.

2nd time I'm asking for prayers. Preacher, you're up..in the waiting room at the hospital while the Mrs. is having a small biopsy done (think pink ribbon) to verify it isn't cancerous. It's precautionary and we were told not to worry but there is power in prayer.

Prayers for your wife and you my Volunteer friend...

No one who actually knows what’s going on is going to post the time line for something to happen because only admin knows that

Butch has been fired but just refuses to leaves the janitor's closet. Each day he moves to a different one, to keep them guessing. #resiliency
