“It would be big $ and a hassle to fly from NYC to Little Rock and back to NYC, but it certainly would make for excellent message board fodder and succession theatre,” Currie said in an email to Veatch.

Confirmed. Currie read (and loved) gE.com.

That was really poorly written. Would have been much easier to just read the emails.

Yep.  Almost every article I read about stuff gotten through records requests is like that.

Some poster on here could probably win a pulitzer or whatever if they just wrote a concise history that puts all the events in chronological order, including before all of the relatively recent stuff and back when it was thought Currie nixed Leavitt coming back on staff before he'd been rehab'd.

Alright guys, I take my comment back. I've been disappointed with the home games besides OU. The weather and shitty play have made them unbearable to be at.
Luke's stock is rising as Winters continues to validate his greatness. Add Luke and Winters to my list! Also, EMAWBLAST! and Tobias!

We've had mediocre results since 2012.  This year was supposed to be a breakout year.  But instead we got mediocre results.

Before Saturday, we had won 2 of our last 20 games against ranked teams. 2! and one of those was a #25 ranked Tech team that probably ended up not making a bowl game.

So yeah, I'll side with Dlew on this one. Win most of the games you're supposed, lose basically every game you're supposed to.

Very little time left for Bill’s most ardent supporters to secure tickets to his last home game, if he hasn’t already tipped them off.  He really should make the announcement soon.

LOL, just kidding.  Yeah, no, Bill decided weeks ago that he had come back next year to avoid a 2005 again.  No more going out on a losing note.

so you just want to win more. That's fair.

In all seriousness, this season hasn't been terribly different than 2011. That team was just luckier.

Currie was absolutely talking about gE on the flight thing. 

Also the use of the word "succession" was never part of the vernacular until a buzzed up Pete and myself cornered Currie at the old 810 Zone on the plaza and demanded he tell us what his succession plan was.  It was amazing and is even more amazing now considering everything that has happened.

Pretty interesting. It also feels like to me the teams in the big Xii were overall better this year.

Kansas was the only conference game won by more than a touchdown that season. Gave up 58 at home to Oklahoma.

I'm not sure what your point is.  I remember 2011.  It was a lucky season, but it was a 10 win season nonetheless. 

I'm not saying this season or our program couldn't be worse.  It could.  I'm saying that we've been watching the same 6-9 win seasons for the last 5 years.  Shitty defense for the most part.  QB injuries.  Take care of business against the bad teams.  Lose to the good teams. Be irrelevant in the conference title picture.

I fully admit that if we were a 10 win team this year (like I expected) i'd be whistling a different tune.  But i feel like it's fair to say that Snyder and the gang have plateaued.

My general point is we could easily have another 2011 or 2012 type season over the next couple of seasons. Everything you're saying is pretty accurate, I just think the line between 7 wins and 10 wins this season is much more fine than you do.

Also, my other point is that Snyder can consistently maintain a program that always finishes in the top half of the conference and had earned enough goodwill to lead that type of program as long as he wants. I get what you mean by that being "boring" now but I just disagree.

We haven't been ranked any later than the month of October since 2014.  I give quite a bit of leeway season to season, but when it's been that long since we've been relevant, dlew gets restless and grumpy.  Especially when this was supposed to be our season.

Also, my other point is that Snyder can consistently maintain a program that always finishes in the top half of the conference and had earned enough goodwill to lead that type of program as long as he wants. I get what you mean by that being "boring" now but I just disagree.
I'm not saying we should fire snyder.  I'm saying I'd like it if Snyder decided to retire this year.

random thought: it is a fact that Sean has wanted to get rid of assistants over the years and Bill wouldn't let him. Sean would absolutely not be my first choice, but i would at least give it a 'wait and see' approach to see what changes he makes.
