If JP is smart, he'll announce TJ on a pre-recorded message with just him and TJ in JP's office.

If he walks him out as a surprise announcement with a small number of students and fans present..... he will risk getting booed.
Lol

Today and this thread might have been my favorite day on CF in many, many years. It’s had a little everything:

-Panic & anger that it’s TJ
-Bargaining that it’s not him
-Pork planes and Menards planes landing in Ames
-Grant Gibbs flying commercially to Ames to accept the ISU job only to turn around and fly back after turning down millions
-More flight trackers
-Literally no real data or information related to the actual coaching search

Thread of the decade. I cannot wait until tomorrow. Well done everyone.

No matter how tempting you make it no way that I'm going back and reading pages 36-81.

You left out all the bargaining of how good he is. Looking forward to another JP video soon.

I am ashamed to admit I have read this thread in it’s entirety.

If I had access to the net today so I could read 3-4 pages at a time I would have but, it is too big of chunk of nonsense for my to read all at once.

No shame! Keep reading!

While it's not Megathread, the rapid rate of posting, numerous "inside sources", and general panic coupled with bargaining and ppl convincing themselves the hire will be the best/worst/let me mayor makes this one of the all time greats! Still behind Megathread, but up there with Tuff as Rain Tigers and sending Cyber to the airport. The watching the erection (N end zone video board) is probably just behind this one now.

Tomorrow!! You give up way to easy. No wonder we sucked this year. Still 4 hours to turn this thread around and WIN THE PRESS CONFERENCE. Wait we don't want to win the Press Conference, just WIN the DAY.

Long live the MegaThread. Nothing will ever approach the insanity of that. I was laughing my ass off every day.

I’ll agree with you in that the long threads of people trying to break down why taking TJ is such a home run is annoying. He’s not a home run hire, but that doesn’t mean we won’t look back and think our opinions looked dumb at the time. Lol

If TJ ends up our coach, I’ll root like hell for him and the players he brings in. And if he brings in players like he did when he was here as an assistant and gets the most out of the talent they have, I think we’ll be in good shape. I really do think that he can be successful here.

And again I’ll reiterate that I don’t agree with how any of this has gone down. It’s weird and a bit embarrassing, but in a few months it won’t matter. I also know that there will be those who take longer to warm up to him and those who may never warm up to him, and that’s okay it’s your opinion.

We’ll know rather soon whether this is another case in which Jamie valued the wrong things and acted like he’s the AD of a D3 school, or if covered the topics needed to hire a candidate like TJ. If you hire TJ without first striking out many times, and are anywhere close to competent as an AD, you’ve been led to believe he’s bringing some talent from UNLV, keeping Hunter and Nunn, retaining the good parts of the roster, and hiring one of the best staff’s in the conference. We won’t need to wait long.

I feel like SnowCraig surviving leaving the kids at school deserves mention as well as a top thread.
Both times.
