Prediction

[Anti-Dentite]

I'm sticking with Shaka also, the Monday info was accurate, not sure what happened after that but I am still hopeful.

Any idea why Howland may possibly be out of the picture?

[Goose]

I am betting Howland priced himself out if the game. Plus, I do not think kids today want a 56y guy who plays slowdown ball.

You may very well win the chicken dinner!!!! We have certainly seen that plenty of times.

You mean the chicken dinner where we all choke on the bone?  Not even St Blaise can save us from that fate.

"Any idea why Howland may possibly be out of the picture?"
I don't think he is but he's not #1.

If we can't afford him, who can?  

Anyway, thanks for the prompt reply.

I'd rather have Steve Martin over Cuonzo Martin.  At least then the joke might be funny.

He's #2 according to "BigDaddy" and Marshall is #3.

Wish BD would jump in. Seems things are quite fluid at MU. Would love his take.

did it work?

BD doesn't jump in. He sends his daughter in instead and sets up in the background with a sniper rifle.

Careful what you wish for.

Don't rule out the Diener family.  Crazier ish has happened, let's say.

Is it weird that response gave me the chills?

I am going to try this board one more time..so here it goes.  This is what I know>

1. SS is #1 on the list.
2. An offer has been made to SS.
3. SS is ok with the terms of the agreement, but that does not mean that he has said yes to the agreement.. this may be where the confusion has come from.  It is one thing to say I am ok with the terms of the agreement and another to say I am signing it.  For example I have looked at properties to invest in and I have said I am ok with the terms, but in the end thought that I had a better place to invest. I asked if this was just a ploy to leverage more from VCU and the answer was they really think it is not.


4. It is not an easy decision for SS and he has lots of factors to consider.  His pay would almost double at MU and other positives..back to Wisconsin, but he is really happy at VCU.

5. Biggest concern is not having a President and AD, does not know who he will be accountable to.

6. MU is really close to naming new President so there is work on to see if there is a way to get targeted new President to talk with SS to get some comfort.  New targeted president is not a SOJ so if this discussion occurs then the there is no going back on who the new president will be.  No guarantee this will occur.

7. Ben H. is #2 on list, discussion have occurred and may rekindle if SS does not move forward soon.

8. Gm #3...but no discussions at this time.

9. IC is not a candidate at this time.

10.  IF SS does not agree today, Wednesday at latest, look for Ben H. to move to #1.

This is what I think.  No one knows if SS is coming, maybe even himself.  Until I see something solid from VCU or MU it is not done.  

I do have great faith in Fr. W, but especially Bill C.  He will do a great job.  I suggest we all just relax.

In Bill I Trust!!!

The only positive with Martin is my seats will improve during reseating. Absolutely need a coach who has won at a high level.  I'm not buying Shaka. Not one national writer or real journalist says shaka. Nothing points to Shaka other than rumors that have been wrong and our desire for it to be correct.   I remember when Bobby Frasor went to NC and bought tar heel gear.  Everyone had excuses for it and believed unreasonably and without basis that despite what we saw he would  pick MU.  I don't see anything reasonably pointing to Shaka. Hope I'm wrong.  

[Goose]

Hope BD updates us. Think that was yesterday's news.

So you predicted Shaka to mu, done deal and now these are your thoughts?

But there's also no pundit on record says no Shaka either.

Enjoy your half-empty glass of the tears to be shed when you're relegated to Row V of Sec 410 during reseating this year.

Disagree. His resume speaks for itself. Has good relationships with Love, Westbrook etc. 56 is hardly old today.

[Fullodds]

I want Smart.  I don't remember predicting he was coming

Hope you're right.  

[SWARM!]

The slowdown thing is so overblown.  Baggage? Maybe a little, but if World Domination plan A went haywire, swallow your pride and get it done with Ben. I can't fathom that the dude is trying to strong arm us, at least not to the extreme. He's a pro's pro.

At the risk of sounding politically incorrect, I am of the belief that Martin is being "approached" because he is black. It's almost a requirement in these situations to give attention to a minority candidate. Shaka is in an other world there, so his race is completely irrelevant.  Martin is not anywhere close to what we need right now, even if the big three ain't coming.

Hire Linda Lovelace! She doesn't choke on the big ones
