One thought, one note:

- Sonny Dykes has not signed that extension yet... Wonder if it is still on his desk?

Guys on Full Ride this morning were lauding how much and well Dykes is playing the contract "leverage" game.

Napier may or may not have taken the job on the sly, but I guarantee he’s not telling random recruits about it.

No kidding. That’s not something I would give much credence

GP's future vis a vis TCU (or any other potential employer) will depend on what's in the final Battle Damage Report.

He's bombed a lot of bridges during the past few weeks.

He was never going to go quietly, or gently. I think it's interesting that no one is chirping or dishing dirt at this point. TCU is very, very good at communications discipline.

I cannot imagine Patterson coming back to any sort of employment at TCU. Perhaps as a "Special Guest" or occasional appearance, with a contract stipulating a certain number of events and such, but not someone who is on the regular payroll and shows up on a daily basis.

If he goes into Special Analyst work, he can pretty much make his demands: Nice travel accommodations, low hours, lots of spare time. He keeps his palatial manse overlooking the Stadium, and enjoys life.

Sun Belt Championship game is December 4.

Clear your schedules for December 5.

I agree, I just don't see why that guy would be lying, its serves no purpose

Well, not to be contrarian, but there's no reason WyomingFrog posts some of the [ Finebaum ] he posts, because it serves no purpose, either, other than to stir the pot.

Not saying he’s lying, but everyone has a “source” during times like these. Those sources usually don’t know squat and the ones that do don’t like something like that get out. Don’t believe it for a second.

That entire Message Board Geniuses Twitter account exists to 'mock' all of these so-called inside sources, and they always have plenty of content to choose from.

It's my favorite follow on Twitter right now.

that is why I put him on ignore and there is no more wyomingfrog - if there ever was. he reminds me of someone that used to post here, user name had san diego in it, I think. Always signed off TCU QB in my dreams. Used caps like Wyomingfrog

 

[HFrog1999]

TigerDroppings will go crazy...

It’s probably just @Sweat Equity having fun with the OU and LSU fans

This apparently wasn't just any random recruit, ok?

I think that 'TCU QB in my dreams' guy may have passed away. He was an older guy and harmless. WyomingFrog has been here many years under various names. He's been banned a few times but then somehow manages to always get back on. I've always assumed he was a sock puppet and is really one of our more established members just trying to stir things up.

Years ago, when I had admin privileges, I matched his IP address to a few known members. I won't mention names (mainly because I've forgotten at this point), but you would have been VERY surprised.

I think that 'TCU QB in my dreams' guy …

Robert C Spencer if I remember correctly.

 

[Zubaz]

Has that flight tracker stuff ever been accurate?

Ha no time to troll.

Yes, that was the name

True, he was always much much more positive. As I rememeber over the top positive.

No. I only pay attention to realtors, like when George Seifert was looking at homes in the Colleyville area in the late nineties.

 

[Gary's Shirtless Revenge]

Wouldn’t the ACC/P12/B10 proposal for giving the Big 12 an automatic playoff spot indicate to candidates that the Big 12s place at the table is way more likely safe than not?

And which schools would be using this against us? Virginia Tech is the only one I can think of. Should we be less optimistic about Napier now?

All of that is 100% up in the air re: the playoff, both inclusion of our champion and equivalent revenue distribution.

Conferences who can claim better stability and value (for their member institutions), in order: SEC, BIG, ACC, PAC

 

[Gary's Shirtless Revenge]

The Big 12 is in no danger of losing AQ status, but I suppose that wouldn't necessarily keep other schools from suggesting as much to gain leverage.

AQ status, which the media talks about all the time, is not what's at stake or what's being discussed.
