Man, he's saying a lot of the right things.

As recent history shows, his words are entirely empty. Happy talk to decorate the moment, nothing more.

The real story is when the deal was done (a couple of weeks ago, apparently), what they are going to pay him and what perks will be included (Penthouse suite at the Google Tower?), and what color his ski boat will be...

I'm just realizing that UT has now hired our former AD, former football HC, and former baseball HC.

Hide Jamie Dixon!

You could say the same about aTm with Hyman, Fran & Schloss, everyone wants to be us

I picture CDC waiting outside Schloss’ office all day until he agrees to meet with him, ala Deloss Dodds. Hope Schloss called him “Del”

Kinda creepy

I guess he left out the part about the iced down 12 pack, and them laughing all the way down Hwy 21...

Starting to believe the man I once respected isn't that guy. This is a 3+ year observation

The Dennis Franchione of college baseball.

Aaaawww, someone got their lil feelings hurt.

After graduating from TCU, my son went to A&M Law. We went with him to an introductory session for parents and new students. They tried to introduce us to all the Aggie cult traditions and told us how "proud" we should now be of our new status as Aggie students and parents. I looked at my son and he just shook his head.

Afterwards, he said, "Did they think I was just gonna abandon my alma mater and bill myself as an Aggie? I'm not here to be an Aggie. I'm here to study the practice of law. And when I graduate, I'll still be a purple-blooded Horned Frog."

I don't think Schloss ever bought into that Aggie thing. I know Aggies love all their traditions, but to the rest of us we are thinking weird.

 

[LisaLT]

hmmmm....I wonder where they will go....

My daughter also is a TCU undergrad and A&M Law grad. She got her Aggie ring. When she goes to court, she looks up to see where the judge went to college. If he went to A&M, she puts on the ring. Otherwise she never wears it.

Odd, I don’t remember Aggy complaining about loyalty and integrity when they hired him away from TCU.

They were too busy hanging a banner.

Weird parallels. When Deep Jr. graduated from A&M Law, his Aggie aunt and uncle bought him an A&M ring. He only wore it on job interviews with firms that had Aggies in key roles. Hasn't worn it since.

Great tip about noting the alma mater of judges. I'll pass this on to him.
