It’s literally been 5 days. JP might feel confident where we could end up, but his work has just begun. Long was to go.
It has to be tough to have had so much confidence in your leadership and have found 9 years of stability after the league was pronounced dead, literally have the best season in school history and looking at topping that, and this comes out of nowhere. I don’t blame Bowlsby. Not expanding was absolutely the right call in 2016. There’s really nothing the other schools could have done to prevent UT and OU from doing this.
They have hired his replacement at W.Not to throw more fuel on the fire, but Barry Alvarez retired on July 1st...
I played it backwards. It was extremely revealing. There is even sign language telling us the possible outcomes when you do that.Some of you need to calm down… trying your hardest to decipher a little video.
“Jamie blinked twice when he said Texas… does that mean we are going D2??”
“Wendy shifted her weight when JP said OU… I’m pretty sure thats a hint that we are going to the SEC…”
Stop over analyzing and just drink a beer.

Bowlsby is a lifer in college athletics. He knows everyone and is generally well respected. Pollard has been in the business forever too and knows him very well. His comments were probably sincere. I'm guessing he genuinely feels bad for Bowlsby and wanted to say something in support of him publicly.Guy has big ten and pac 12 connections. Was an AD in both. Trying to butter him up most likely.
Not sure if serious, but you do know they essentially turned the keys of B1G football over to him, right?Not to throw more fuel on the fire, but Barry Alvarez retired on July 1st...
Yeah "Everyone contacting Him" he had to get out and do this. You can only guess how his email and phone has been blowing up....and being chased around the lake all weekend too.When all your donors are upset, you can either respond to them individually, or this way. But you respond.
JP says this will take awhile, so I assume this means nobody in B1G or PAC is feeling like doing something until they know more about what the landscape will look like. That said, I know he and Dr. WIntersteen will do everything they can do.

Actually the more I think about it. Drinking lemonade on central campus underneath the camponile on a bright sunny day would've been the bestactually I nice medium rare T-bone to go with the wine would’ve been awesome!
I think he means that Wisconsin could be a destination for Pollard. But they already hired an AD.Not sure if serious, but you do know they essentially turned the keys of B1G football over to him, right?
The script very well may have been lawyer written, which is why it sounded so awkward at times.Neither one is good reading from a teleprompter, especially making sure they didn't say to much or too little (no going off script or adlibs allowed), but patting each other on the back to give us confidence in leadership as alums see a crisis at their University. And also, can't reveal or don't have yet a solution to the crisis. I would say the latter.
yeah, everyone needs to hold on, force ut and ou to pay up if they want out now, then everyone can go their own way…it’s all about getting money from ut and ou…they are expecting everyone to panic, if the 8 can hold together and outlast them we get a final payout
this was bs, but the right message
ou and ut can’t stay 4 years, their programs would be destroyed by then, so pay up fellas
