    Here's something funny. If you go on the Bruins board on TOS, they almost all think there's no way he chooses them over UF.

    No one on that board thinks he's coming for the most part. And yet, on our board a few are in melt down mode and just sure he picks UCLA. Pretty cool isn't it?

    You had to assume we were gonna get shit on today. They left out of Ocala to avoid being seen, got caught, sent the entire UAA and the prez, got no deal.

    No matter how anyone wants to spin it, it' not a good look.

    If it is Chip I wouldn't be surprised if it's announced sometime after the FSU game. Gets the hype going for next year after a potential loss and still well before early signing peroid

    I still don't understand the point of six people from Florida going to visit in person and fly all that way if there wasn't a solid deal in place. All of the negotiations about numbers and what not can happen between agents, phone calls, etc etc etc.

    Yeah, I’m wondering if Candy gave a little hint when he said we should see what’s cooking for Thanksgiving.

    Yeah something going on with that. A lot of people assuming it means Chip to the Swamp but not one player has spoken when pressed about it.

    How come once you embed a tweet, all the text after that appears centered instead of flush left? Is there any way to fix that?

    My guess, just like the other 88,000 posts on this thread, is that he was given a window to talk to UCLA just to make sure this is what he wants. He is thorough and this is a part of it.

    My second guess is that he has until tonight around 7 or 8 to decide or we will be deciding for him.

    How come every time I see your name on the message board my computer plays either Darth Vader's Theme song or Simon and Garfunkel's voice to "Hello darkness my old friend" over and over?

    Quick question, if that contract was signed yesterday do you really think SS would have said "We just got the contract signed!"? Right there, in that moment? Do you think that's how he envisioned breaking the news?

    This is simple:

    All the players, recruits, dufus UAA kid all got wind of who was flying up to NH and what their purpose was. Franz and the rest probably had the same info.

    They all thought it was it. Done deal. President going to close it.

    Whelp....that didn't happen.
