Da Plane! Da Plane!

tatoo

Cyberspace today has been hilarious.

We don’t have a clue who was on Wendell Murphy’s return flight from Memphis. But, we refer you to our comments earlier in the afternoon:

* We think that it is good news that a meeting is already scheduled. IF State and Calipari sign a deal this morning, then Calipari already has an audience scheduled with his Athletics Director.

* Calipari would most likely call a team meeting today or call each of his players to personally tell them the news. Additionally, he would reach out to his recruits (probably today). There will be no stopping the flow of information once this happens.

* State people would start talking about a ‘deal being done’ and then ‘confirmation’ would come from the Memphis side. Want to help us out? Share some good Memphis message boards and websites in our comments section. But, please do NOT go to their sites and talk to them.

You may want to pay attention to this link, but please don’t antagonize them.

    Wasn’t there some kinda coaching convention in Memphis this weekend? Would Fowler & co. have had enough time to stop there to meet someone?

    I heard that Dean Smith has been named our coach. He is coming out of retirement and will be the George Foreman of college coaching.

    All of this has been a joke, actually Roy and K have been hired to be co-head coaches at State. Don’t mess with Boss Hog!

    Yes the Nike Hoops Summit was in Memphis this weekend. The speculation on the Memphis board was that everyone might have been flying down to visit a coach who was in town for that.

    I think the problem that Fowler faces is that announcing anyone other than Calipari right now would be a huge letdown and be perceived as a failure by the fans. The internet just creates an environment of speculation that probably isn’t healthy.

    i would to get some facts about what that plane-ride from Raleigh to Memphis that stayed in Memphis a short couple hours on a Sunday afternoon was actually all about…

    If Chuck lands another birth in the toilet bowl we might be playing this “game” all over again after football soon.

    cd hawkin, I think the answer is the weather. Yesterday, most of NC was cloudy and stormy. Have you even BEEN outside today?

  13. cam 04/09/2006 at 6:24 PM #

    “If Chuck lands another birth in the toilet bowl we might be playing this “gameâ€? all over again after football soon.”

    I doubt it. Chuck is good at the “smoke and mirrors” technique.

    Cam, I thought your eligibilty was up… too bad Herb didn’t play you until this year

    If I had $5 for every pudgy white boy wearing khaki shorts, crokies, and a polo shirt in Augusta, GA right now I could buy down the national debt personally.

    You guys are killing me. I keep making up excuses to come inside and check on you boys, so my wife will leave me alone.

    Re: Official: WRAL Reports Fowler & Oblinger meet with C

    yep, just to recap for those who didnt see it or dont live in the area: During the WRAL 6pm Sports segment, they showed video of Fowler & Co. walking off the runway.

    WRAL confirmed they were coming back from Memphis for an “interview” with Calipari.. apparently, Fowler refused to comment, but WRAL said (twice during the segment) that their sources tell them “It is Calipari’s job if he wants it”

    in other words, an official offer was made, Memphis is expected to counter-offer (Which WRAL also confirmed).. and basically we’re waiting for that counter offer and Calipari’s decision. I would expect this to come to a head one way or another tomorrow.
