Update??
It’s over. My contact in LA said Chip signed last night.

Finally the voice of reason!That would take some intricate collusion. The truth is usually more in line with the simple answers.
I'm not talking about you, personally, but the whole notion of Chip to UCLA seems ridiculous to me. For over a week, rumor after rumor surfaced regarding Chip to UF. We actually have documented PROOF that our entire university leadership took a personal flight to meet Chip. The AD returns home grinning from ear to ear. We hear the deal is virtually signed. Then, we hear what's a known fabrication, in that, Chip flew out to LA. And now everyone's convinced he's interested in UCLA. Man, you guys are emotional. Stop following the storylines and start studying the facts. You'd see that this is all an act to pretend that he's undecided. I know a lot of people have questioned why the AD would delay the announcement, but we have to look to history. Teams NEVER hire coaches before the end of the regular season. When has Kelly(an east coast guy) ever mention that he prefers the West Coast? Yet, it gets thrown around as fact on nearly a daily basis. When I keep hearing that as the main source of reasoning behind him picking UCLA, I know that someone's blowing major smoke up our a$$es.
Yellow Label, small batch or single barrel?
The AD's office is stuffed full of incompetence. Obviously, some of the football money has to be spent on other sports, but strangling football is a suicidal path.
Alright, alright. Chip negotiates like Al Qaeda. I’m prepared to throw in a few Oxbucks to finally put this thing to rest. Your welcome. Press conference on Monday.
This whole thread would make an amazing coffee table book. It has mystery, suspense, anger, excitement, sadness....
Could be titled, chasing Chip
ChipapaloozaChip Madness or Chip Mania or Chip Derangement or . . .
You and I are at the poverty level of oxbucks. We shouldn't have to give any, in fact we should get Oxstamps to help us get through the week. All these people living it up on Oxbucks should have to pay more, like 70% of their Oxincome.Agreed. I will give the few that I have and promise all future Oxbucks to sweeten the deal...
This was originally posted as an ongoing answer to a post asserting that a 5M offer to Frost would be a low-ball offer. This is silly on a number of levels. First, it’s just not. This kind of cabbage puts a coach in the ranks of the top ten of Division One football. Mac was coming in at 15. Second there’s no correlation between pay and performance. See, the aforementioned, Kevin Sumlin, the latter coming in at number 10 and Rich Rod, who gets 5.6 (ASU is an impressive 6-5). Pay your coach, yes. If you’re going to pay him like he’s Urban Meyer, you better make sure he’s Urban Meyer. If he’s CK put him in the top 5. But get a grip.Fooley paid 4.5 mil to Butters and 4.0 mil to Chimp to not coach for three years.
How much money did those under the radar no name budget hires actually save us?
Anyone consider that Kelly and Frost are colluding on this. We can’t speak with Frost but Kelly can. The longer CK makes us wait to turn us down the more desperate we become. Thus they drive the price of Frost up. All the while CK knows he is going to Cali.
Just another possibility.
Not a fan of Four Roses. Liked their barrel strength, but have not tried any other limited release stuff. Heard the LE stuff is good. Is that Stagg jr or sr?
I admit that I am a whiskey freak. Bourbon, in particular. Current favorite is A Midwinter Night's Dram. Hard as hell to find, and absolutely delicious!
Don't listen to him. Pirates don't drink bourbon.
