    Why do you bother reading threads for info then? Just wait for the breaking news on ESPN for anything you want in sports. People like you are the very definition of contradiction.

    Surprise surprise.

    We are not elite in the football world, haven’t been for years. We convince ourselves that other schools can’t match us. What a joke.

    A&M and UT will take their picks of coaches and we will be left with another damn MacElwaste. We’re back to hoping the $2 DVD in the bargain bin will turn out to be a good one.

    This is really hard to validate and given recent history a little tough to swallow. We heard a lot of stuff about the contract, dates that did not come to fruition. I think the uaa is just really good at decoys and misinformation now. It's not the 90s, it's too hard to be getting real info consistently under the radar.

    At this point this is probably good advice for all of us. We'll know when we know and until then there's no sense getting invested in information with a tenuous connection to reality.

    He told you why in his previous post, he likes to be right. Just tell him how big and strong and right he is and he’ll be happy and we can stop arguing over who’s got the inside scoop and get on with hiring our 6th choice of a coach.

    I posted before; let’s have a free, honest and open sharing of information. But you can’t play both side of the fence and claim the you were never wrong or misinformed.

    Don't waste your time, if it's not fitting to their narrative they're not trying to hear it.

    Frankly it's not worth the keystrokes.

    Is this bravado:
    Here are quotes by me in this thread:
    I'm inclined to think Sunday....but maybe sooner. But still believe the door is cracked. I'm not willing to use the dreaded "D-ne D-al" yet.

    I have said multiple times the door is cracked. If there was a real meeting with UCLA today, that would be a bit different than what some on the UF side are saying. I would say UCLA would have looser lips in this and such a meeting will likely leak to more sources. Lets wait and see.

    If UCLA and CK truly met and Guerrero, Rebholz and possibly Wasserman (The Money) were there. That would certainly be reason for eyebrows to raise. That is their power group. That is akin to our group on the plane the other night sans a university president.

    This is why I keep saying keep the door cracked. Stricklin was very quick to shoot stuff down on Twitter. Now, 4 days of quiet. It is my belief that most of what we have heard is accurate, and it literally comes down to Chip walking the aisle or running away from the alter. If he does that, I won't blame the bride. A bride by the way that can take her pick from the eligible groomsmen left behind.

    No "done deal" level yet.

    No. No we haven't. We have maintained all long that the thing could fall through.

    But this is the perfect misdirection response for one, and the prudent response as well. Things COULD happen. Even if the deal is agreed to, he could go all Billy/Magic on us. Obviously we will move on if forced to.

    Not really. He has left the door cracked.

    Stop complaining about Tilly and Bentrill and tell us what you think is going to happen an how this is going to play out. Then we will tell you what we think. How about that.

    I'll be waiting for your inside knowledge of the next target and its progress. I don't want uninformed speculation. I want informed speculation, which is what Tilly and others provide. Nothing is ever a lock until the presser, and even then its not ever guaranteed. Donovan proved that.

    I'll feed you one last time, my info was never inaccurate. The deal fell through, Chip decided to go elsewhere.

    I've never had a problem owning up IF i'm wrong. You just want me to be wrong so bad it's almost scary. Not sure why it pains some of you so much that people hear things...and share them...on a message board.

    Carry on my friend! ;)

    So it must fit your narrative. Nobody is right or wrong think we already have accepted that fact. Just because its sourced or product of a tried and true system which is one for the last two by the way doesnt make it the end all be all. Go Gators

    Were insiders wrong when they said that Billy Donovan was going to the Magic?

    I don't think the messengers are wrong or to be blamed, but the upstream sources have proved to not know as much as they once did, and that's why the predictions have fallen short in the last decade, particularly for football.

    That kinda proves my point. The announcement was made then he changed his mind. We have evidence. Here it is all speculation.
