One of those Arkie twitterers or bloggers starts squawking, and a whole bunch of them do. Reminds me of a flock of crows on a grain field. Just a bunch of noise, not necessarily connected to what's going on.

I can't see T-bone being outbid, unless he's lost confidence in Gundy. A few years ago that might have happened, but OSU's been playing better in the last couple of seasons-- damn good actually.

Bad news for the B12 if true. Terrible news for OSU. How can they manage to lose their best coach and an alumnus to Arkansas of all places?

Who is this guy Twitter???

Given name was Harold Lloyd Jenkins. Born in 1933 in Mississippi and passed away in 1993. Legendary across multiple genres of the American music spectrum and previous record holder of the most #1 singles until George Straight broke his record. Built his own city just outside Nashville and inexplicably was never a member of the Grand Ole Opry.

FWIW...

There's still no official word on the progress of that search, but on Monday, the hot rumor had Long traveling to Tulsa to meet with Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy. It was also rumored that Gundy met on Sunday with a representative from Tennessee about the vacant head coaching position at that school.

Sources following the coaching search speculated that Gundy has his choice of taking the Arkansas job, the Tennessee job or remaining at Oklahoma State University (OSU).

It is believed that Gundy wants more control of the football schedule at OSU, preferring to avoid the high profile non-conference opponents preferred by Athletic Director Mike Holder.

Well, I guess if you want to make sure you play nothing but the creamiest of cupcakes in OOC, it's hard to beat an SEC gig.

I lost the link but a couple of folks on the OK State board claim that Pickens is strongly in the AD's corner regarding these supposed misunderstandings about contract negotiation and some other stuff. Pickens might be more like Jones than anyone thinks. Going to play the 'I can hire 15 coaches to win here' card.
