the way its supposed to work is that the AD is supposed to know what he can do, as guided pre-deal by a few donors, and then he and the president and the general council get it done. The donors are not supposed to know anything once the rules are set. Also, the governor said that the state was paying the buyout. Not sure why they would consult a donor. Anyone that has ever actually done a big deal knows that you need to have a tight circle. I have no idea if you are right. But, as a person who has done deals for 30 years, I know how to do one. And this is not how. Also, LSU is saying that they wont pay a buyout. Basically the only two material terms in the contract are the income and the buyout. So, LSU is simultaneously saying that they will pay Kiffin’s buyout but not the other one….?

We did well against Ohio State, OU. We had Vandy covered for 3Q, and I think the whole team took their foot off the gas in 4Q. Pretty hard to swallow last night, but we did have them pretty well covered for the whole middle of the game. Seems like the whole team melted down in 4Q. We had penalties and a lot of bad bounces last night. I think that Stockton and GA look pretty good right now….we looked like we belonged until the 4Q.

Watching schools like LSU should make you grateful for the run we have had under Eltief The BOD by Abbot has produced exactly zero Regent idiots like we had under Perry. Eltief runs this board like a world class chairman and representative of UT.

Nothing unusual about that contract for a coach of that pedigree wait to you guys see the next round of contracts the reality is that when a coach is fired, everyone associated looks like an imbecile for not predicting that such coach would work out. coach decisions are judged by outcomes, not the info available at the time

This is the guy who wanted to cancel football bc of covid

Love it. There needs to be accountability.

The coaches have loved Wisner since the day he showed up. Now we all love him. The guy is looking like a Rojo type legend

Me too but the safety was trying to disrupt the snap. Arguably there should have been a penalty on Auburn, but clearly the argument on the TO appeared to be BS the officials are not good

I was in Munich for Octoberfest and the only college hat I saw was a longhorn, who was in my hotel

Mateer was playing drums at MSG last night, after playing piano at Lincoln center

I love the smell of napalm in the morning Go Horns!

There are two things you should do, one for banking and one for the next step: On banking, set up an appointment with Xavier Sztenjberg, who basically is the leader, heart and soul of WSFM. Tell him everything. The advice above is all very good. Kill your self your first semester and first year, as those are the grades that matter. Oh, and I am shocked by people who don’t read the paper. Pretty much everyone on Wall Street are voracious consumers of news. Young people (not you) read instagram. The key for NY is some blend of the WSJ, the NYT and the NY post. You will never get into the buy side without a good banking job, so focus there. A very good point was made above that it’s not typical for somebody to jump from banking to PE from the associate ranks. I agree with that in general, but if you look at PE shops that have specialization, a lot of the laterals they take from banks have experience in banking in a subsector. So, in consumer that is the LCatts and the TSGs, BX tac ops just hired a guy from Lazard to lead financial services, etc…. I also agree that the energy shops in TX can be more forgiving, but that means you are in Houston not NY (and, while my heart is in Texas, my ass is in NYC). Most folks in PE were analysts in a bank for 2 or 3 years, and that is it. So, you will need to be smart. One idea is to find Ken Wiles, who leads the PE effort at UT. Get an appointment with him and start networking with some of the folks he recommends. Oh, and if you want to go into PE, you pretty much have to be in a M&A focused banking job. They are not hiring from the ECM team… first things first, get the best IB job you can.

One of the teams like OU, LSU, Miami, FLA, USC will melt down and we will have a real shot at a bunch of guys late.

We have been giving minimal tickets to folks forever

I agree its impressive. Of course, i root against it, but its impressive
