    I would treat CK to a calzone at Satchel's if it would help seal the deal!

    But I'd feel a lot better right now if he was buying a home at Crescent Beach.

    Tilly, does the title still warrant this heat? Even with the momentum towards UCLA?

    I think the “hot meter” of the title was more applicable to whether it was Kelly we were courting . The plane flight confirmed that

    Now it’s who will he choose? Gainesville or LA? Right now he appears to be on the 4o5 but stuck in traffic with a chance to turn back East on I-10

    Happy Thanksgiving to all of Gator Country from a long time lurker on this board--the best UF message board since message boards were invented.

    I'm as anxious as any of you about this next hire but am truly thankful for the information, humor, insight and even the fake news that you've all provided. The wait would be excruciating otherwise. You've made it a fun ride.

    My sliver of insight...spoke with a well connected booster last night. Not among the top, top guys but close and buddies with them. He says the information circulating about this search is non existent. Previous searches his buddies would constantly update him with details unsolicited. This time he's had to reach out for info and gotten nothing.

    The takeaway from that: Foley was influenced by and sought advice from boosters while SS is keeping it in house with the UF and UAA administration. In my opinion that's a much better way to conduct a coaching search. However this turns out, we are in good hands.

    Happy Turkey Day all!!! GO GATORS!!

    I figured that I sounded a wee bit ungrateful or was insulting to you and bentrillgriffin. I even thought about saying something like "I appreciate YOU though" to you both (and perhaps others), but it was a little late, and I hoped that you'd get it. You didn't. My fault.

    I really meant to indicate the overall tone of everyone running to and fro after each link posted and every rumor mentioned, with alternating cries of "It's in the bag!", "We blew it!", "He's a Gator for sure!", and "We put all of our eggs in one basket, and now we'll get nobody!", to paraphrase.

    Normally, I couldn't care less if someone is offended, but honestly, I meant no offense to you or BTG, and my optimism is founded on what you and he post.

    Otherwise, I'd be goin' out and finding me some entrails to study. My "sources" at the UAA say, "Thanks for your money. More please".

    Fine, use winning percentage. He's outperformed previous DECADES of awfulness at Mississippi State

    That's exactly WHY I don't buy those rumors. Does anyone think EITHER of those dudes can say anything to a coach they DONT have a personal relationship with to convince him where to coach? It's not like either is Zig Ziglar or Gordon Gecko. Invoking them convincing him only makes me picture them in a strip club and telling Chip there's a surprise for him in back room where he finds the whole Vickie Secret roster waiting for him in any he wants them...

    Except for that he’s not saying anything he hasn’t read on here.
