I used this to stream from my computer/phone to speakers. It would work for headphones:

But yeah the only problem is bluetooth sucks balls. At least from my computer. Seems to work OK with my phone, but haven't tried it much.

My main points go to not wanting him to be HC right now -- I really think we could find better candidates if that's the position we were hiring for.

It's possible, but far from a guarantee. He's a guy that should be on our radar because of his recruiting history and recruiting base.

Yes...and it would make perfect sense for him to sacrifice the success of his program because he won't spend money that is not his.  Great argument here on why our staff is under paid....Old Ballz is simply stingy with other peoples money.  Genius.

He actually did that with Vanier renovations. Ask Dax about it.

Was it a money thing or a disruption thing?  Both?

The old story I heard was that he didn't want Vanier to be out of commission long enough for them to do what they really needed to do to it.  Otherwise, he would have.  However, he wanted it done a certain way so as not to disrupt how his notepad plans told him how to run his daily schedule.

Please don't let the facts get in the way of a reason to be butthurt.  OB's was given the opportunity for a beautful new football complex and he flat turned it down because it was just too much and he's rough ridin' stupid.

LOL

Maybe I'm the only one around who doesn't think Venables is the best we can do to replace Snyder when the time comes.   ...sigh...

 :frown:

It's possible that we could get better candidates. I don't think it would be easy, though, while this Venzy thing is as easy as it gets and is relatively low risk (because he would at least bring in talent at a higher level than we currently are). Does he bother you personally? Seems like you always don't like him when his name comes up.

Nothing against him personally, I just don't trust his record.  If he goes to Clemson and coaches a great defense there & recruits great there, THEN I'll love hiring Venables as our head coach.  I'm just not convinced he does much of anything at OU.  And the fact he's just about the only coach on Stoops original staff (the only one?) who's never left there after years, and years, and years, plays right into these concerns...

So you think Stoops just pays him $600k or so just for the hell of it? Also, I am merely suggesting the DC/HCIW thing, not ousting Snyder and make Venables HC. Why couldn't we see how he recruits and run a defense here? You can always back out of the deal if it doesn't work out.

For me, it's the same as really wanting to hire Jankovich or Steve Heson as basketball coach "because he's a KSU guy."  It's selling ourselves short.

Unlike Henson, the only reason Venables would consider the DC/HCIW thing is because he's a KSU guy. He'd be far too good for us otherwise.

we're simply not going to compete in a territory that would attract a top level assistant to join that staff with the potential to vie for the head coaching position.

What if that's exactly what Bill wants?

Leavitt>Venables anyway.

wrong in every way

One guy can't get a D1 head coaching job anywhere. The other guy built a program from scratch and was successful for years. Game over.

That said, we'll probably end up with someone shittier than Leavitt.

Venables is a better recruiter (in our prime recruiting area, especially) and d coordinator.  Venables is also better looking and aromatic. And Leavitt got fired.

Game is NOW over. :armscrossed:

You're right, I don't respect Christianity either.

Slavery was horrible, but I would still put it in 2nd place after raping children. As weird as that sounds. And yes, I don't have any respect for our government either. Luckily there were some good people in the late 1800s that ended slavery.

what about raping child slaves?

Not sure why everyone thinks Venzy would continue recruiting like he has at OU.

He wouldn't, and I didn't say he would. I said he would recruit better than we currently do here.

I want to believe.  I really do.  I mean, it’s there.  It’s right there.  But I know how this ends.  I’ve seen it.  It’s JoeBob/Hayes as Co-DC/ w/ Blake Seiler moving from a GA to DE’s coach. 

:frown: cause it's true

I didn't watch the debate last night. Was Paul joking? He's such a kook, I can't even tell. Paul says federal tax rate should be 0%.

No, he's completely serious. Good to know that you like taxes, though.

I don't like paying taxes, but I do like having a military, and national infrastructure, and a space program (in theory), just for example. As a conservative, I don't want to abolish all taxes, I just want a leaner, fairer, less burdensome tax system. I support a complete overhaul of the tax code, statically scored as "revenue neutral," dropping income tax rates but eliminating deductions, broadening the base (let's all "have some skin in the game"), and cutting corporate taxes and capital gains taxes.

This would seem to be common sense, but it is opposed by the wealth redistributionists (it would easier to just say "progressives" or "socialists") and by the companies that have lobbied very hard for special tax treatment.

Everything you said you want from government is a form of wealth redistribution.

Don't be dense. In the strictest sense, any government expenditure redistributes tax dollars. That doesn't mean there are not necessary federal expenditures such a supporting a military and national infrastructure.

How do conservatives decide which federal expenditures are necessary and which ones aren't? You would think someone serious about limited government would want to shrink all government expenses.

Also, I know that Venzy had better athletes at OU than we will be able to get

Venzy could, nay, WOULD change that.
