    Chomp: Kelly’s agent meeting with UCLA on Sunday certainly debunks prior reports that the sides had no legitimate contact at that time. If this report is accurate and Kelly’s primary concern regarding UCLA was its financial commitment, there is a case to be made that he may actually favor the Bruins with that being his lone reservation. UCLA bringing out the big guns in Casey Wasserman, the founder of the former megapower management company Wasserman Media Group, is a massive revelation. If Wasserman promises Kelly to give him whatever he needs to win — such as Nike founder Phil Knight did for him at Oregon — Kelly-to-UCLA may be more real than anyone believed 24 hours ago.

    9:52 p.m.: LandryFootball.com reports that Chip Kelly’s agent met with UCLA on Sunday, the same day Florida flew to New Hampshire to meet with Kelly himself. It also notes that Kelly’s meeting on Tuesday with two senior athletic department officials and the Bruins’ heaviest donor “went well” The discussion with the Bruins appears to have centered around donor commitment and Kelly potentially having the necessary funding to build the program he wants from multiple standpoints.

    I remember them playing a couple of frats with Socks only and getting shut down.
    Orange and brew... Saw the Police there. They unloaded their van, played a set and then played it again because it was all the songs they had.

    My Detroit Redwings are having a tough go of it. He could probably get us back to the playoffs and have our goalie pitching 30 shutouts a year. I’ll be on the lookout for flights between NH and Detroit.

    Never thought I'd see the day when the UCLA job > Florida job. Sigh. I really hope we don't get beat out by UCLA.

    Can't lie I feel the same way. Seems there are two sides to the silliness too.

    I swear it’s like 5 people that just quickly regurgitate crap from other places. It’s a little crazy.

    You haven't. Nor will you. They could resurrect Lombardi and never be Florida in football.

    lol yea. To each his own I guess...if it happens. Hard to tell though. A lot of BS being told, that's for sure.

    I believe in Strick though (at least his mindset ha ha). I think he gets us someone good, Chip or not.

    Meh. I'd rather Frost or Leach. Mullen would be a letdown, however.

    I know they'll never be better in football but if kelly goes for UCLA over UF it would make me scratch my head... But to each their own I guess.

    I certainly wouldn’t trust CK’s judgement if that’s what he decides

    Oh well if he didn’t want to come compete in big boy football and would rather go to the west coast where he feels safer then go ahead. I want someone who isn’t scared and is ready to take on this conference.

    The insiders on TOS who have been confident the last 10-11 days are all of a sudden not confident and are starting to defend Stricklin’s efforts and have started talking about moral victories in this pursuit of chip. Things have really turned in the last few hours.
