damn that would be must watch, too bad.
it would have been epic. I was crossing my fingers but not holding my breath.
Fournette is now going to run for over 600 yds against Tech. No wonder the SEC selected that matchup.
SEC: "A&M, the Texas Bowl is right there in your backyard. Would you like to play Texas Tech?"The selection process for the Pool of Six bowls was based on preferences expressed by the SEC’s bowl eligible schools, input from the SEC’s affiliated bowls, travel considerations, attention to previous matchups and additional relevant factors.“The Pool of Six participants are determined after conversations with bowl partners and discussions with school personnel in order to create a lineup of compelling bowl games for our schools and their fans,” said SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey. “This process provides an opportunity to create intriguing matchups, consider potential attendance factors and variations of assignments to help prevent repe ive postseason destinations.”

As of 5:20 p.m., 24/7 reporting the meeting between bie and Patterson did go down earlier this afternoon, but no decision has been made.
bie was out recruiting for TCU once the meeting ended.
Uh, t-t-t-today Junior!
New7:00 pm per Chip Brown
Just told by a source close to the situation that negotiations are ongoing
Jinks to Bowling Green.
The has a "not happening" vibe.
The ol Leach family tree does it again.
East Carolina goes to /Oklahoma goes to the playoffs.
The coordinators are so much more valuable than the halftime speech head coaches.
Guy trolls harder than Bohls.
Per Rivals, Strong had an in-home visit with LB David Reese of Farmington, MI tonight.
He will be in Austin this weekend for an official visit.
Getting that feeling too.
Aggie really worried about Tortilla flinging, goal post impaling Tech fans.
Aggie has always feared Tech. Guaranteed Kliff would have the Raiders ready to rape and pilfer.
According to 24/7, Coach Jean-Mary had an in-home visit with DE Andrew Fitzgerald today.
HORNSPORTS: It's been a wild couple of days on the 40 acres following the pursuit of TCU Co-Offensive Coordinator Sonny bie. A brief recap, bie was interviewed by Charlie Strong on Sunday night and traveled to Austin with his wife yesterday to survey the campus and facilities. Since then, the Longhorn world has been in a holding pattern waiting for bie to make his decision. After a busy day yesterday, news was very slow today. 247 reported bie met with Patterson today but no decision had been reached yet. They also reported bie was out recruiting for TCU. Our own Will Baizer confirmed this with sources at Cedar Hill earlier today. So where do we stand?
1) bie is the top target. He's been offered a lot of money (Somewhere north of 1M per year on a 3 year deal according to reports) and total control of the offense. Chip Brown of HornsDigest also reported Texas was willing to make concessions for bie including changes in practice to maximize an up tempo offense, and a different schedule on Sunday so bie could attend church with his family.
2) bie is very comfortable at TCU and is in line to slide into the sole OC position if Doug Meacham takes a job this year or next. Part of that has to be weighing on him along with the decision to uproot his family and move them to the capital city.
3) bie recruiting could be something but it also could be nothing. Many coaches (see Will Muschamp) have been out recruiting for their current schools while negotiating a deal for a new job. The big news for Texas fans is that no decision has been made, and while bie was indeed recruiting for TCU today, you would think if it was a no there would be movement on someone else. I never would have guessed this would drag into three days but it's starting to look that way according to a report from the Austin American Statesman.
4) Texas is scheduled to meet with Shane Buechele tomorrow night and it could be very bad to show up without a plan at offensive coordinator. The good news is Buechele is slated to take his official visit this weekend, so if Texas can get a guy in place by then they should be able to calm the waters there.
5) By all reports, bie is a good man of tremendous faith and I don't think he's dragging this out for any nefarious purpose. It's a huge decision for him muddied by the situation surrounding Charlie Strong's job security and the black hole at the quarterback position currently on campus at Texas. If I'm Charlie Strong I wait the night out, and if I don't have an answer in the morning I move on to plan B for the time being.
So what is Plan B?
By all reports it would be Tulsa Co-OC Sterlin Gilbert. We told you about Gilbert in a November edition of Burnt Ends where we previewed candidates for the upcoming job. Here's a refresher from that article.
Sterlin Gilbert – Co-offensive Coordinator/WR and QB coach – Tulsa
Bio: Gilbert is a former star quarterback at San Angelo State who cut his teeth in the Texas high school ranks at Abilene Cooper and Temple High School. Gilbert helped install offenses at Houston, Eastern Illinois, and Bowling Green. Gilbert developed Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo into a pro prospect and Harlon Hill (FCS Heisman) winner at Eastern Illinois. A student of the Art Briles offense, Gilbert was hired by Phil Montgomery when he took the job at Tulsa. Gilbert has great ties to the state with experience installing offense from his time under Briles, Montgomery, and Dino Babers. He also has playcalling experience at both Eastern Illinois and Bowling Green.
Obstacles: This might not be a big enough name for some people, and Gilbert hasn’t had a big time coordinator job.
Advantages: He’d be a fool to say no, and it wouldn’t cost nearly as much as the others.
Gilbert's offense might even fit the Texas personnel a little better since it employs more of a power run look to compliment the spacing and wide open passing game. If I'm Charlie Strong, I'm headed for Tulsa tomorrow to see Gilbert. If bie is still taking his time, you can tell him that you have to interview candidates in the case that they miss on him. While Gilbert doesn't give you instant recruiting cred like bie, he is well known in the state and should have some good ties.
