    Well, I do not drink, but I do live in California and intend to vape some Granddaddy Purple and relax a bit myself.

    Euphoria.

    I just find it really hard to believe that the President of UF and the AD flew all the way to NH to be turned down, or to await "more productive conversations in the days to come". They had to have signed it.

    When all this is said and done, it will be a super interesting story to tell.

    So one I suck at math when I'm sober but I'm a little drunk, so if Florida offers 5M a year, what exactly would UCLA have to offer for it to match Floridas 5M a year? 7M? More? I'm dumb. I'm sure someone else can do the math.

    The sources have been solid all along. Number of people on the plane ect. And then they said he signed. You don’t think SS was just gonna tell people right of the plane.... “WE GOT HIM” lmao

    This may have some legs. Andy Fawbush's son Tyler was the one to first tweet that Kelly signed the contract.

    Nope not one bit, He is already getting taxed by Cali.....The 49ers are paying him.
     
  10. I just remembered that almost three years ago, a small contingent from Florida left Fort Collins, Colorado without Jim McElwain, and announced him as the 24th head coach of the Florida Gators a couple days afterwards

    I have a hard time believing that its taking this long if it has nothing to do with money. the only thing i can see is that Chip sees the Pac-12 being an easier conference to coach in vs the SEC. but thats it

    At the 8:00 mark of the live feed at the airport, a voice or two was asking if there is no press conference tomorrow. Couldn’t hear confirmation either way. I couldn’t tell who was asking/stating it....

    My NFL source said that McElwain was actually hired in the middle of October. He said Mac treated his staff like garbage the rest of the year. But he said Mac and florida were a done deal basically the first time Foley went to Colorado

    Dennis Rodman. Charlie Sheen. Vincent Chase. Especially after his movie Aquaman destroyed Spidermans numbers while dealing with rolling blackouts.

    Not sure if you can deduct state tax from federal taxable income or vice versa. If neither, then $6M-5=1. And 1M x 60% = 600k = 10% x $6M. So $6M in CA is $5M in FL not including astronomical real estate differences.

    Chip Kelly's agent is Trace Armstrong, not David Dunn, is that correct?

    We would like to believe that but not necessarily. I do hold out hope that the entourage went in order to take group photos during and after the signing. But if the circumstance was they felt they were losing him they might have wanted to show full support from the University knowing he would meet with UCLA soon. What would it look like if his last meeting with UAA was only a few people then he meets a larger number of key UCLA staff including their President?

    And if it were signed when was CK planning to arrive in Gainesville?

    I did not hear but did UAA/SS/or Fuchs say they await more productive conversations in days to come? That would be a very bad sign. They would not sign a contract and say they expect more productive conversations, they would say nothing at all.
