interestingly the commentators during the game actually voiced that when he lined up off the ball that a player of his experience know better. So people who don't know him were questioning it, so why didn't our coaching staff?

I think it could be simultaneous multiple system failures.
One of which could fall at Butch's feet, depending on the legalities.

And if he wants to retain any of that power he will eventually get in line.

And there’s where the 6pm bump in the road showed up. Currie was about to pull the trigger and Haslem freaked. Told him to wait wait wait. Hang on. Let me think about it. And left Currie looking like an idiot. Because no way does Griffith run that story unless it’s about to happen. Currie could be a little pissed too and ready to tell Big Jim to kick rocks. I know I sure wouldn’t want to be on Ergens bad side.

I just want to say, as a graduate of the College of Engineering (wasn't tickle then), how proud I am that my people are apparently playing such a significant role in this.

Excellent conversation this morning between you and several others. Spot on.

For those joining late, and if you care, it is worth your time. Skip thru the HGTV house hunting and concussion debate.

Thanks Poppa!

I have truly enjoyed it.
I have spent entirely too much time thinking about this deal for the last five years. lol

My husband is from Houston. I had my first Buc-ee's experience in September. My life will never be the same. :thumbsup::yes:

Ever since I took my wife to Texas for the first time, she's been trying to convince me to try and get a Buc-ee's franchise in TN.....:) My fear is that wouldn't go over too well with the Pilot folks.

I can guess what MIT means. I will tell you what I meant.

I think MIT's nugget means that Ergen is heading up the coalition of boosters who are not only attempting to get Gruden to the Hill, but also to reduce or shift the balance of booster power away from the Haslams.

One of the very first questions I asked right after MIT came on this board, was about something he said about specific unidentified boosters who were at odds with Currie, but were working to ensure that Gruden came to UT. I asked MIT at that point to identify who the leading booster was. He didn't respond. He appears with this latest nugget to have identified Ergen as the Guy.

Which makes sense, he represents a younger generation of money than Big Jim, and he absolutely has the money to go head to head in a power struggle, if he has to.

This hasn't all been about getting Gruden here. There have always been multiple agendas. Anyone who has read MIT carefully could see that. And I'm not saying multiple agendas are bad, just that we should be aware that they exist, and MIT isn't just here to give everyone their dose of internet Xanex. :)

the question has been if haslam is in or out with gruden. mit just insinuated he is out, hence ergen is opposing him.
amirite?

He seems to enjoy a good fight - and he doesn’t lose...

SIAP, but after the latest revelation, was Bev’s veto of the outsourcing the other day the first step in the “FU” to the Haslams and a message to them that Ergen wears the bigger pants now?

i thought so, but was quickly, repeated, nicely, informed that they were not related ... don't read much into it.
