[cayin]

Here's where TJ and his UNLV Runnin' Rebels finished in the mighty Mountain West Conference......

Sorry, but if you are going to hire a head coach for a Big 12 basketball program.... you would hope they could at least finish above .500 going up against teams like this night in and night out. How will he do against actually good teams?

he probably would have won more games this year if he didn't get rid of some guys. He was thinking long term so probably knew going in he had to bite the bullet to set his program up for future success.

I’ve heard a donor is reaching out about paying a portion of his Nebraska buy out.

Today and this thread might have been my favorite day on CF in many, many years. It’s had a little everything:

-Panic & anger that it’s TJ
-Bargaining that it’s not him
-Pork planes and Menards planes landing in Ames
-Grant Gibbs flying commercially to Ames to accept the ISU job only to turn around and fly back after turning down millions
-More flight trackers
-Literally no real data or information related to the actual coaching search

Thread of the decade. I cannot wait until tomorrow. Well done everyone.

Wish I would have just read this. What a waste of time.

If it is TJ, I feel like it would’ve been announced today. Not sure what the holdup is if TJ is the guy

Well he does come with a steep price tag. Perhaps our credit card got denied at checkout and we’re trying to convince the cashier to give us the damaged goods discount

anything up my ass counts for somthing

The broom stick the apparent hiring TJ has firmly implanted isn’t enough?

 

[HoopsTournament]

So has T.J. hiring been announced yet? Or should I just go to bed and wait until tomorrow?

All you have to do is make a post praising TJ and then make a post trashing him a few pages later. Years down the road you'll be able to quote yourself and look like a genius.

Soda? Is he some type of commie? This is "pop" country!

Pop is a ******* sound, real men drink soda. You pop a balloon, you drink a soda.

We’ll know rather soon whether this is another case in which Jamie valued the wrong things and acted like he’s the AD of a D3 school, or if covered the topics needed to hire a candidate like TJ. If you hire TJ without first striking out many times, and are anywhere close to competent as an AD, you’ve been led to believe he’s bringing some talent from UNLV, keeping Hunter and Nunn, retaining the good parts of the roster, and hiring one of the best staff’s in the conference. We won’t need to wait long.

cause JP is gonna say, “well, we interviewed 5 other people we liked more but they said no so we hired TJ.” Give me a break. You guys are an embarrassment to the fan base.

Cola is a type of soda\pop but not all sodas\pops are colas.

I am ashamed to admit I have read this thread in it’s entirety.

I've tried. In the year of record-setting avalanches out west, the blizzard of multiple threads has overwhelmed my ability to keep up.

Just call everything Coke. The Southern way

Was going to be announced today but TJ had too many airplane green beers.

**** green beer!

Yeah, because they interviewed a bunch of coaches without having a vacancy and with other coaches still having a thing called the NCAA tournament. Lol!


Not only are you an idiot, you’re a horrible fan. Go cheer for another team.

Probably hit up Sips while he was in town. Vegas is great, but it can't compete with quarter draws and wells on Wednesdays
