A bit nerving that Patterson is close buddies with Scott.
They should have put Bevo in a jet-pack.
I'll bet that dude isn't complaining about the game day atmosphere.
Also, I can't see that guy's "Texas pride" shirt without hearing the same lyrics from Choctaw Bingo. I wonder if that dude is actually Uncle Slayton. He actually looks pretty spry.
Damned socialist!

What the **** does that have to do with it being a funny line?
It may be funny, but it's not exactly true?
That they could have probably used some booze in those games.

Never let truth get in the way of a funny one liner.

Booze is a bad idea when your hobby is a bon fire.
link - I guess New York is holding billions of dollars in gold for Texas, and Texas wants it back now. I am serious
"University of Texas Investment Management Company’s board of directors to put nearly 5% of the then-$19 billion university and pension fund they manage into physical gold by converting options into bullion"

That should be reason enough to drink in College Station.
It's at a low right now and some think this bull market will end soon. Why not ride the price of gold up as stocks go down?

Yeah. Apparently, he's a very dry business CFO type guy. Which they knew when they hired him. The weird thing is not that he hasn't been able to glad hand with the boosters (donations are flat for 5 years)... the weird thing is that the Texas athletic department managed to lose close to $9 million last year.
Do you think a guy like RG could be on their radar if they move on from Patterson?
You shut your whore mouth!!!!

Sure. They're probably going to still be confused about what direction they want to go next though. Patterson is a UT grad, he was supposed to be one of them, he was supposed to understand the fanbase, and he's really operated counter to that.
RG would probably do well there, but would he have the perception of being "Texas" enough for them? I don't know, I could see them confine their search to former players or coaches.

Nope.
They don't want to have to explain losing and the Buffs haven't won enough to put RG in the sights of a program like Texas.
They will try to find somebody who has connections to the school and who has been established as a winner.

It'll be whoever the big cigars want.
That is true. I completely ignored his win/loss record and the fact RG hasn't made any significant hires. I was going purely off the fact he took our AD from zero to $180 million expansion facility in a short amount of time. That's hugely impressive for us, but not enough for the Texas job.
Captian Jack!
:nod:
Yeah. When you get fired for donations being flat and rubbing the big boosters the wrong way, odds are that those boosters will pick the replacement.
The situation is weird to me because the boosters are mad about being charged for certain events as Patterson is trying to increase revenue but they will not donate more. So instead, they want another athletic director and will "give more" as long as they are not charged for certain events. I guarantee if they donated more Patterson would not have to expand revenue sources to try and make up for the difference. Boosters are very stupid sometimes.
