To be fair, the UT AD was completely broke. Just now digging out

That's what boosters are for, but ours are disorganized and many don't like him. We had a coaching hire fall through because he tried to make the guy pay his own buyout. I don't see how people are arguing this.

Did you pay any attention to the condition of our program when Hart got here?

I did and I have. We were broke when Hart showed up. Since we have the SEC network and our football program is doing better, I think we're flush with cash.

A million here, a million there is no big whoop anymore. During the Dooley era we were flat out broke. Not anymore, I think we have more money than we can spend.

Would be harder to argue if you had links to your assertions

Anyone aware of why Shoop turned down LSU? Seems like a big step up from PSU. Especially considering the loads of defensive talent that pass through there each year.

The rumors of Les being fired.
Not the kind of thing anyone wants to walk into.

I don't believe our reserves are close to where they need to be

Lame I know. It'll take me a little while to quit using Shoop every chance I get.

Maybe so. I still think we have more money than people want to believe. We'll get another 5 million or so this year than we got last year from the SEC network.

This is a big time program and has big time money. As long as the football program flourishes the dough will come in.

So, we never had kids, but I imagine this is what it's like for a bunch of guys (sorry ladies, talking to the guys) sitting around the waiting room, cigars ready to light, swapping nonsensical BS while waiting for what seems like forever for news of a delivery?

Or was that a 60s thing?

That would be way wrong my friend.

We're just now starting to get back on our feet.

Most big schools have $40 Million to $100 Million in reserves and we're still paying off huge debts from all the building and remodeling Hamilton did.

We're finally getting back on the right track but we have a LONG way to go financially.

We're definitely getting on the good side of the balance sheet. I just don't think it's quite there yet

If 2016 turns out like I hope it does we could be very close though
