Brian Rice: Vitello Extension Has Been Agreed To, Will be Announced After CWS

Amazing “potential” news, I was never too scared that coach would leave for another job after he built his own program from the ground up. But you can never know for sure, and Lord knows we’ve had our hearts ripped out before.

What are the odds that Elander is back next year?

I would say pretty good at this point. There isn’t another opening right now that I would say he is being considered for that he would want.

Texas won’t hire him. Feels like if any P5 program was going to it would have been South Carolina. I guess we are safe for one more cycle. But his years here are definitely numbered.
 
Funny church story...
Preacher said he’s having dinner with some fellow pastors and family. Since he was hosting, they asked his very young granddaughter to give the blessing before eating. She went on to give thanks and pray for certain people around her, including “THE HOOKERS IN VENEZUELA!”
The preacher said everyone at the table opened one eye to look around in surprise but no one said a word...come to find out, her Sunday school class had been praying for and sending care packages to Mr and Mrs Hooker, who were missionaries in Venezuela.

It's this part I'm most curious about. I have seen their (psychotic, entitled, ignorant) fans claiming some crazy stuff lately, but the most recent tidbit was that Texas is prepared to throw a 10-year, $35 million contract at their next coach. Not sure what you can share beyond just talking in riddles, but what exactly does "full bore" mean? And I'm assuming Danny White has been pretty resolute the entire time that this is one we can't lose?

I think we all need to prepare ourselves for this kind of arrogant nonsense from Texas going forward, so I am going to be THRILLED if our first (kinda) SEC face-off showed them that the real UT can't be pushed around.
Texas has not shown a willingness to reset the market when hiring coaches in any sport. You think they are going to pay 33% above the highest paid coach who is 25% above the next dude. That ain't happening.

Oh trust me, that number sounded completely ridiculous when I heard it, but I'm learning fast that Longhorn fans are prone to hyperbole and have a very loose connection to reality.

It seems like more of them are convinced that their AD's tight relationship with Schlossnagle is going to bring him to Austin once the CWS has concluded, which of course has the side benefit of sticking it to the Aggies. Still, a good portion of them realize that Tony is much younger and more dynamic, and they'd collectively piss their pants if they thought for even a second that Texas had a real shot at hiring him. I'm being impatient, but I just want the deal to be done and announced.
 
I believe I said "agreed to an extension," but yeah.

Also, "formerly of the Sports Animal?" Do you know something I don't know? My key fob still worked a couple of hours ago...
Since you are apparently available, I am in need of a new bunion massage specialist. Taking applications thru the weekend. Never know when the inevitable hits McKee or Rucker, so you better get your application in early!

Good luck with your future!
