The plan is to get a full fence and as much of a batters’ eye as possible for the outfield by game one.

So Luck wouldn’t do what you or any reasonable observer wouldn’t have found objectionable. You think that’s a good thing? We can only guess if Luck could find a capable coach. Perhaps he wouldn’t have had the temerity to poach a good one from a quality program because he avoids conflict and other unpleasantness.

We will be there and we are setting up a tailgate.

Slasher type guys rarely work out in college athletics and that's what Patterson was and it didn't work out. Just look over in College Station and what Trev Alberts has done as a slasher type and who he has had to settle on for hires in the big 3 sports because of slashing staff, etc. I don't think it would have tarnished Luck but it also wasn't his responsibility, nor should it had been the next athletic directors responsibility. The next athletic director at that time should have come in with an empty slate and immediately started on the hiring process of the next head coach and finding ways to improve all sports. Perhaps we bring in Luck and we hire a much better football coach instead of the worst coach in program history. Then we don't have the worst decade in program history. That hiring of Patterson solely because he would can Mack set the football program back a decade essentially.

Don’t need to. I know the answer. The last statistic compiled had ~ 90% of guns used in crimes as illegally obtained.

When you have a 30 year incumbent AD who refuses to do his job, what do you do? Unload him and get a replacement to finish the job. You end up with a Patterson because “better” candidates like Luck don’t have the sack to do what’s necessary. If Luck really thought he would be insulated by having the President or some regent fire Mack first it only doubles his spinelessness and naïveté. Do you believe Luck would have been tarnished in any way by firing Mack? Wouldn’t you want a guy who can come to grips with the more unpleasant aspects of a 7 figure job?

O'Connor about to get hired by Mississippi St....cross one off the Aggie list and now they'll have to compete with UVA for a coach.

Weiner and the staff working some light throwing from the mound.

Texas is not considering alternative sites to host the regional according to a school official.

Agree with you about Deloss he's extremely overrated by this fanbase as a whole and was actually a pretty meh AD. Regarding your bolded part, that reasoning is exactly how you end up with a Steve Patterson aka the worst athletic director in program history who hired the worst football coach in program history.

New risers constructed down the left field line. Texas has done this for previous regionals as well

Hahahaa this is good stuff.

Look it up.

He would have been better but not what we needed, wouldn’t have been an upgrade over Dodds (who I considered second tier) and a sorry excuse for an AD of Texas’ standing. Anyone who’d turn down an opportunity like Texas because he refused to clean up his predecessor’s mess doesn’t deserve it. Remind me again about that Arizona team he did wonders with.

Please explain how making stricter gun laws will prevent criminal gun violence?

@Bobby Burton OTF going to be there?

You basically insinuate it with those two comments. Not being much of an upgrade or might have been an upgrade shows that you are putting him on equal footing with Patterson which is absolutely laughable. Now that you get proven wrong because he was fired twice you try and deflect.

Progress.

What are the Arizona Coyotes? Did I say “he was the same” as Paterson? If so please copy and paste.

vs 2013 Hired by Texas and being fired by Texas for being incredibly bad at his job in 2015 Nothing for 2 years 2017 Named CEO/President of Arizona Coyotes where he was fired in 2018 after just 1 year after being hired. Nothing of note since He wanted Mack Brown handled prior and that's not a big ask for a perspective AD. No reason admin couldn't have handled this prior to searching for an AD. So tell me again how Oliver Luck is the same as Patterson. Just pure stupidity from you at this point.

A guy who won’t take a job because he has to do the obvious is not a guy built for the long haul. He might have been an upgrade over Patterson but he couldn’t pack CDC’s lunch. Remind me again of Luck’s incredible career accomplishments since 2013.

Who did Texas replace Ryan Conwell with? Coach Miller said they went after him, but couldn’t get him (high price). It will be interesting to see how the shooting guard position plays out over the year.

I nominate you for new college football commissioner. I like it.
