I think he's talking about baby Richard not Daddy Rick

Right.  Rick the elder prefers white table cloths at porcini's.

Well, for one thing, the cost of living.  OKC could have offered Stevens the same money, but in effect it would be a huge raise.

Do you really think a guy making $3.7 million is so worried about $2.65 for gas in Boston when he can get it down to $2.17 in OKC?

90% of what he brings home is going into investments, and the price of a share is the same in OKC as it is in Boston.

Donovan has been most underrated coach in America for the past 15 years.  I always felt he should be Duke's first call to replace Coach K.  He seems to operate with a strong personality yet without much of an ego.  I see him easily getting respect of his players.

I like the move for OKC.

Sure, he gets to take over a winning team with multiple stars...but that could also be a negative. Russell is pain in the as* and I've heard that KD is becoming more difficult to deal with as well.

Easy now...I live in San Antonio.  It's one of the best places I've ever lived. (I've lived in WI, TX, GA, IN, VA, WA, and OK)

San Antonio is great. I was in and out of Lackland over the years.

Some outstanding Tex Mex. Taps Y Tapas, Mary Lou's, La Fonda, and Cielito are all excellent, You are likely on the north side of town but you need to try Brenda's Burgers which is outside the gate of Lackland. The best breakfast burritos in the world are sold out of a truck at Kelley Field. I have no idea what it is called but ask any AF guy and he'll know.

Solid young coach, but UF fans can't be too inspired by hiring a guy who didn't make an NCAA tourney during his tenure.
