| Exactly what Red Hawk is saying. This guy is an AD, and he's saying that they "promised him" and that it's enforcable in some way?? Give me a break. He even mentions he SIGNED an agreement with the Liberty Bowl that Tech would go to the Liberty Bowl if no Big 10 team was available. If that's the case, and the bowl later says "well, we're going to select you EVEN IF a Big 10 team is available" then you GET IT IN WRITING!! Would he stand for extending his coach's contract with a promise? "Hey, I know a lot of schools are sniffing you and would like to hire you. I'd like to extend your contract, coach. What you say we go to the doughnut shop, discuss terms of your extension making sure you can't leave for the next 5 years, and when we agree on terms, screw the lawyers. We don't need to document it in writing." Would he ever do that? Of course not. So now he's claiming "they promised us over the phone that they would select us"? Quite simply, he relied on an oral promise and didn't insist on a written agreement. That's stupid. He should be fired. (Also love how he throws the coach and school President under the bus too - "but we all agreed"! So it's not just my fault, it's lots of people's fault!) Reply • Back to Top |

Posted by rumproast on 12/4 at 8:26 pm to Kickadawgitfeelsgood Hes spinning. Anybody who is halfway close to these programs knows that this had nothing to do with "timing". It had to do with the prospect of playing an opponent you have been trying desparately to duck. Sounds crazy, I know. But that's what this was. Everything you are now hearing is for the purpose of avoiding that fact. A big smokescreen.Reply • Back to Top |
| The AD doesn't deny not wanting to play a Sunbelt or MAC team. Advocare backed the bowl committee into a corner with their preference of Ohio. Reply • Back to Top |

| Dear Tech, You are Tech. The hot girl is not going home with you when the bar closes. Get any piece of arse you can get and be happy because you don't really deserve that. You are Tech. Reply • Back to Top |
