Texas AD Chris Del Conte
CDC extended Tom. Rumor is that the president may have done it, but that's a new rumor and I'm not sure why we trust it. CDC let Tom stick around and rebuild his staff after a huge disaster last season. CDC failed to land the plane with Meyer. Ok, maybe out of his control, but now we're in a huge mess. No, I don't just mean optics, I mean recruiting, donors, probably the mindset of the team, etc. If you let this story get this big and public, you'd better be damn sure you're going to land the plane. To have this news break just before early signing is a fuck up beyond belief. I generally like the guy, but the above points are his resume as it pertains to football so far, and that's without wading into the political stuff (that shouldn't really be his measuring stick, anyway). Just like we tell coaches, at some point you are what your record says you are. Maybe he'll still get this right, but he is desperate for a win of any kind at this point.

I feel bad that some here are still talking themselves into this being possible. It would be a disaster for us to leak this intentionally. It's horrible for the program in every possible way, but it appears we went the rip the band-aid route I don't really care what we do next and will be disengaging for a while here. The last week or so was the most excited I've been shut ut football for a long time, which is a sad, sad statement. For anyone holding out hope here, even the squid guy this morning posted something on japanese that translates into "I played a (guessing game) with my friends, but it didn't come out." Not that those guys ever should've been a reason to believe, but even they're not holding out at this point. It's done.

That'll get the recruits fired up for sure.

I was sitting at an airport bar in 2008 when barry switzer announced ou was ahead of us in the bcs. I'm sitting here thinking this feels pretty similar to that. Both extreme low points in 12 years full of them. I'll always love Texas, but if this news ends up being true (and I believe it is until something else is announced) I'm out for a while. With two young kids and a demanding job, it's already a stretch to make as much time to invest in this as I do. When I think about the returns on that time over the last 10 years...just can't justify it anymore.

100% this. It might be done, but the narrative is changing in ways that don't make sense.

I thought nahlin was one of the more reliable ones? I honestly don't keep up with the 9.95 crew, so I'd love for that to be wrong.

Texas Football pauses all team activities
Based on the information that just broke, I expect Texas just paused all fan activities as well.

It's not surprising. It's only surprising that this drug out this far and broke down over something known from the start.

If so, it's news to me. Not saying you're wrong, I've just never heard that.- Urban Meyer or bust
We're subbing in new players at multiple positions, including some pretty vital ones. Doesn't it make sense that we'd want to get these guys as many reps as possible during a game week?- Urban Meyer or bust
Or Tom would've mentioned last night that we'll take today off and start planning for Kansas after the weekend.- Urban Meyer or bust
Put me in the camp of a verified practice cancellation means something is going on. We've said for a while that cdc would probably not act on Tom until we're officially out of b12 contention. That happened last night. That part is done. Leading up to today, the common refrain was that if Tom was coaching at Sunday practice after we're officially eliminated, that's a bad sign. I've been anxiously watching that part. Now practice is cancelled, and we're supposed to believe it's just rest? These guys are banged up every week, and we practice. I don't buy that and I don't buy covid from a group who flew together as recently as last night. If practice is really off, I personally find the most likely explanation to be that something is going down. Doesn't mean Urban, but something with Tom for sure.- Urban Meyer or bust
OU will wake up and win by 3 tds. I think Aranda is good, but they're not there yet.- BYU @ Coastal Carolina ESPNU
Holy shit, that finish!- BYU @ Coastal Carolina ESPNU
This is a great game.- Urban Meyer or bust
So there's this coach named urban and a school called ohio state... Nevermind, I think you'd better just let this one go.- Urban Meyer or bust
WOW. Thanks for posting. That was uncomfortable in a good way (that's what she said).- Urban Meyer or bust
Didn't we establish that one of the regents lives close to hsb? If so, flights in and out of that airport could still matter.- Urban Meyer or bust
If we don't land this, I feel like the misstep will have been letting the osu game cloud the situation. The level of confidence from EVERYONE at the time of the osu game was that if we lost that game, Meyer was ours. I don't know if that's true, but there was very little hedging happening at that time. Instead, we let a meaningless win delay things, and only in the weeks following did confidence wane. If Meyer turns us down, it's sure as hell going to look like it's because we didn't strike when the deal that inertia behind it. And why? Because we beat fucking Oklahoma State? - Urban Meyer or bust
