What’s good?

Hope you all ate your fill of turkey, ham and casseroles of all types.

Generally there are issues that pop up that, months later, you simply are kicking your self for not trying into extra.

After Brent’s contract grew to become public from an FOIA request that was made, one nugget surfaced that all of us deemed unusual however not related. Brent, in 12 months one, had a ‘seven common season video games received’ bonus. All of us assumed that this was written in as an simply obtainable purpose to place some additional Christmas cash within the head man’s pockets, which in truth is the more than likely motive.

However what if it wasn’t? What if it was a preseason acknowledgment of how far this group was from good? What if the writing was on the wall with Brent and Joe C when this contract negotiation started? That will make us all really feel fairly dumb although, proper? How did we not take that for what it was, an trustworthy win projection?

I’ve thought of that loads because the Morgantown loss — perhaps I used to be merely naive in seeing that Oklahoma soccer was telling me precisely what they thought of Oklahoma soccer. After a Thanksgiving drive to the in-laws with a sleeping child within the automotive throughout which I used to be required to cross the time with merely my very own ideas… I got here to this line of pondering.

I nonetheless assume that bonus was written in as a layup. Nevertheless, if it wasn’t, and that’s what Brent thought was a good prediction for this group, we most likely ought to’ve been paying extra consideration!
