After all this, ZERO new information came out today.
LolIf 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.

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.
1-0, whoo. Barely beat a KSU team that got smacked by a D2 school. Not sure we can take much from that.TJ was undefeated against Big XII Opponents this past year.

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

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. LolYou left out all the bargaining of how good he is.

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’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.

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.
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.
