Does anyone else individually or collectively have enough money to remove some boosters that own a terrible NFL franchise and I would predict has made all of the decisions since Fulmer’s firing. Man...the rich have all of the fun.

Youre absolutely right. Neither us or the Browns have proper eye discipline or are properly snapping and clearing after each play. But even though neither are playing with 5 star hearts, they will both be resiliant in their effort to improve.

The Juniors are still young but leadership reps will ensure they don't start at year zero for the fourth straight year of their careers.

Isn't Ergen (spelling) worth more than the Pilot family whose name I won't mention?

I read somewhere the Haslam family in total is worth something like 4 billion dollars--possibly more. I think they are in the top 50 family fortunes in America. Pretty sure Ergan can't touch them.

The Haslams have given a very minimum of $100 million dollars to UT.

Do you really want to piss them off?

If getting them out of the picture is better for the health of the program, yes.

Ergen is worth over $15 billion. He can wipe his butt with $100 bills for the next 10 years and still have $10 billion more than the Pilot/Flying J family.

Well, that was my memory about their net worth. You are more than welcome to do some research about what it is--maybe a bunch more. Do a little google, ok?

I do know this--my business school is named after the Haslams because they gave $50 million freaking dollars to it...lol. I have a tee shirt to prove it. Haslam College of Business. Still looking for the Ergan College of ---?

He can. Just won't. He has not been a major booster compared to the Haslams.

You are wrong, multiple resources have his worth at upwards of 15 to 16 billion.

Ok, maybe somehow you won the statistics game, although I doubt the final numbers are truly in, considering we're talking about family money here.

So, if Ergan is worth more than the Haslams and carries more weight, where are his contributions compared to theirs?

Again, they have given a MINIMUM of $100 million. Wrap your head around that, discount Ergan, and give your thanks. My God man...
