All thoughts on Billy Gillispie and his hiring at Kentucky here only please!

[RD]

Not meanting to pour salt in wounds fellas..

[jcrowe01]

I knew this was going to happen along with everyone else on this board

[hoghogg]

If that is true great.  A&M loses their coach and we can't hire him.  I for one would much rather have about 4 or 5 coaches before him.

[Arkiebrian]

OK...need a link brother...

[tweakmyhamstrings]

Would anyone care to join me at ....texags?

[Noonan]

Is anyone taking their temperature on texags.com?  Should be interesting.

[CallThemHawgs!]

good call, cant wait to smack his ass next year.. And I didnt mean that in a gay ATM cheerleader way

cant wait to see all the tears being shed

[RazorNick]

I wonder if the ags get the same 100 people to throw another yell practice......I bet their board is popping about now.

[Busta_Swines]

There's a shocker. I guess he picked up the phone this time.

[masonselby]

ive had it on espnews for the last hour and i havent heard anything

[Texasbite]

Not meanting to pour salt in wounds fellas..

A&M is screwed, couldn't happen to a better group of low lifes, basis for this opinion, threating to throw balloons full of piss at Arkansas media, class real class. 

[Godfather]

Wander if he'll pull the flip-flopper action after his presser?

[94 Hawg]

its like deja vu all over again

[jcrowe01]

There's a shocker. I guess he picked up the phone this time.

so he does know how to answer a phone

[Pork Twain]

I hope he falls flat on his face and cannot get any good recruits there.

[ark30inf]

Could not be better.......enjoy the shovelful of karma Aggies.

[Arkiebrian]

"According to sources close to the Texas A&M and Kentucky basketball programs, Billy Gillespie has accepted Kentucky's offer for head coach position..."

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

And once again I have to interject this is why we need John Calipari and not Andy Kennedy.

[masonselby]

this not being reported by anyone, no link and hasnt been on tv

[Pork Twain]

I think he is saying that it is sad people are not smart enough to read before they post.

[Godfather]

this not being reported by anyone, no link and hasnt been on tv

If hogville says it, its fact.  Look it up.

[murray-vegas]

All I heard on ESPN was that the AD gave permission and expected him to take the job. But then again I was half listening.

[pigture perfect]

If he goes to UK, it makes me feel better just to think that he was holding out for the Cats instead of picking the Aggies over us. JMO

[RD]

Was on ESPN, check out TexAgs.com, Websider, and CatPause.com, they are all over it. BCG is going to Kentucky.

[Table Rocker]

nothing official on catspause

[masonselby]

hey RD when did they say this ive been watching for awhile and havent heard anything

[stan the man]

Let's see if Mr. Gillespie can handle the pressure at Kentucky.  My guess is he can't.

[arklahoman36]

I think he is saying that it is sad people are not smart enough to read before they post.

Actually, I think what he's saying is ... LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!

[AnthroHog]

Well, maybe this can kick start the rivalry, if we can get Calipari or Grant.

[dhornjr1]

If he goes to UK, it makes me feel better just to think that he was holding out for the Cats instead of picking the Aggies over us. JMO

I feel the same way. I thought all along that he was waiting to see what Donovan did before he made a move.

[RazorNick]

Not official at texags.com either, by the way, they locked the main forum......lol

[joeyself]

Hmmmm, sequence of events?

1.  Arkansas contacts Gillespie (informally, of course) and gets the nod
2.  Tubby bolts from KY
3.  Arkansas doesn't check with Gillespie again before canning Stan
4.  Someone at KY makes inquiry of Gillespie (this may be #3 and #3 may be #4, come to think of it) and says he's second choice after Donovan.  Gillespie says he can live with that, becoming Plan B.
5.  Arkansas finds out Gillespie isn't coming here.
6.  Florida wins championship and then Donovan is contacted
7.  Donovan says "no" and the same day, Plan B is executed.

Did I miss anything that MAY have happened?

[Table Rocker]

they all seem to think the announcement will come tomorrow

[Pork Twain]

I think we are both right...

[Arkiebrian]

Sad faces at texags....awwwwww!

my fault...sorry

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Let's see if Mr. Gillespie can handle the pressure at Kentucky.  My guess is he can't.

My guess is he can.  No wife nagging him.  No newslady to service.  No kids.  He can't eat drink and sleep basketball.  He has no other outside pressures to distract him. "Hmmmmm should I start Saul tonight?"  None of that BS.  It's all ball all the time.

[southern hawg]

Hey Aggie........IT'S 4/5 AND BCG AIN'T YOUR COACH NO MORE

[fu-man-soo]

I think he is saying that it is sad people are not smart enough to read before they post.

Actually, I think what he's saying is ... LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!

actually i was saying, i am telling you and you aren't listening

[joeyself]

Hmmm, now we compete not with Kentucky but with A&M for a coach.

Wonder how that will turn out?

[Noonan]

The moment they stepped up with the new facilities and the raise just for the "please don't go to arkansas" routine and he responded with the "well let me think about it", they should have known he was going to do them wrong.  Like the old saying goes, if you don't know where you stand, you know where you stand .....

[Pork Twain]

What?

Looks like you were saying you thought YOU needed to start up three different posts on the same topic.  Not like the Mods are trying to cut down on repeat posts or anything...

"Great, we just became Rick Barnes' b@#%$ again..."      I love it.  They're not happy on the Aggie boards.

now that's funny - go have some fun with those aggies - just remember to duck

[WoooPigSooie]

Now maybe the others that were waiting to see if they get a call might have some interest in Hawgball redeux.

I fully expect this.  BD held the keys, said no today, BG takes UK job..the chips fall into place.  Even in light of the recent drama the Arkansas job will look much better this weekend than it did last weekend.
