well i do understand that even a very smart person can succumb to emotional thinking

but if boosters of UT are trying to force UT's hands, then that says to me they were never really high on Herman to begin with. it just seems like a huge leap that after this hail mary (by boosters), Herman would be so involved in emotional thinking that he'd not see the writing on the wall with this shite

So, SFP, do you think LSU gets Herman

after last night? yes

unless LSU somehow leaked that shite (Which doesn't make sense but is theoretically possible)

It puts him in a tough spot today. I can't imagine he enjoyed doing that awkward interview a little while ago.

I'm still not sure this isn't Herman's agent lighting a fire under Texas.


The Thurs deadline apparently didn't play well with UT. I doubt this will either. I think we've got our man.

"Ok, here I go, I'm really going to do it now. I'm serious, last chance, here I go. I'm really gonna do it this time.

Finally, who someone knows exactly what happened. This board has been lacking exactitude.

It doesn't. It's a Hail Mary to try and blow up the deal with lsu and hopefully give UT time to fire Strong and swoop in with a huge offer.

Herman has to be furious with UT for leaking this the night before his game. I'm sure he wanted to tell his kids personally.

rationally and logically, this is how to read the situation

and of course LSU isn't going to leak shite b/c we're in radio silence out of respect

i don't want fans freaking out that we're not playing this PR war when a PR war would be terrible

Why would this leak kill the deal. It makes Texas look like the inmates rules the asylum.

This only reinforces the idea that ut is high drama and too much of a headache to deal with. Early reports suggested that Herman was concerned about this.

So, they're just supposed to give up and let LSU grab Herman?

If what Bobby Petrino did to the Falcons isn't a black ball worthy offense, nothing is.

There is just no way Herman's camp would leak last night. No way. Even if it was his strategy, he'd probably do it right after Houston kicked off or righ after the game ends.

They could have fired Strong earlier and started doing work then

The same way it killed the Miles to Michigan deal(s). It puts pressure and spotlight the coach. Everyone knows what's going on and talks fire up. Money appears out of nowhere and counter offers are made.
