New AD- John Currie.

Anyone hearing that Debbie Reynolds is set to be the #2?

Isn't she the person who left General Neyland off of the first list of inductees for the Tennessee Hall of Fame?

 

That's Carrie Fisher's mom. She died.

 

Fun fact, the guy leading the charge for the search firm once passed on hiring John Harbaugh when he was AD. Guy definitely knows how to spot talent...

 

That means Butch will not be his buddy and I am good with that.

 

Hyams mentioned him having pissed off so many people. Said he was only 38 then and now he's 47, so probably more mature. OK. Good to know I have a few more years before I'm expected to be an adult.

 

She died? So she'll be our #1 AD?

 

At least it's not Clapmaster P

 

Who is donna thomas?

 

I've still got over a decade before I have to be mature, poop face.

 

I know nothing about him even though he was here for a period of time, but you're basically right. He'll only be judged on one thing by me and that's how he handles the football situation next year when it becomes plainly evident once again that Jones sux. I have my doubts though.

 

Assistant in the AD. Has made a disaster of everything they've let her do basically.

She was tasked with updating the UT hall of fame which up to that point had only been done for Lady Vols (I dunno) and left out an inconsequential little known guy...

That the football stadium is named after.

 

Hah.

 

She's basically worthless.

 

Outstanding. Surprised she wasn't named AD

Says Fulmer was a better option...

 

She has been around forever. Cant remember where she got her start, but I remember her as an Asst AD on the Women's side before the split. Ironically, after the consolidation, she pissed in the wheaties of some of the lawsuit folks by finding in favor of the AD during the internal investigation.

Funny story, she once debated/argued with myself and a few others. She might have been speaking in a class, but I want to say it was in a conversation just around the athletic department. There was discussion of rushing the field. This was a few years after the 98 UF game. Her contention was that it wouldn't happen again because of new and increase security measures. Our contention was that even 100 security guard couldn't keep the masses from taking the field. She argued it to the end. That was all I need to know.

 

yknow, if I'm Fulmer, I'd sure as shit just give up on UT.

if they didn't you or your #1 competitor (blackburn), they ain't ever gonna hire you.

****.. hindsight, I'd rather have Fulmer now than this currie schmuck. nobody likes this ****ing guy... and k state fans are giddy that they'll now have a BETTER chance at hiring a legit football coach? ...in other words, "we don't have an AD right now, but we already KNOW we're gonna upgrade, no matter who it is."

that says a ton. ...and we are ****ed.

From the article:

Ugh. So he's basically Butch Jones? More concerned with image than winning.

More:

So he's also [ddiapos]?

Even more:

What a ********.

Also, in his bio on the Kansas State site, where it discusses his "many" accomplishments, one of the first listed is a slogan he created. Wait for it, because it's pretty damn awesome. Maybe sit down. You sitting? Hang on. Get ready. The slogan. is... "Welcome to K-State."
