"I would like to thank you all for attending this meeting this morning to discuss my future with the University of Texas. As you all know, there was a position that just opened up at the University of Tennessee last night at 7:30, and I just want to let you know that I am firm to Texas."
Seriously, who says this. I have no inside information, but there is such thing as agreeing to principal over the phone which now-a-days is available on a plane.
BTW, I have served two combat tours in Iraq and I can honestly say that I hate Lane, his dad, and Ed more then anyone I encountered overseas. I can, will, and should kick their arse if they ever show their face in Knoxville. And yes I include his dad and Ed on that, even though I would need one of my bigger Devil Dogs for O.
V, B; we'll live.
