Sorry I left out there was a flight from Bedford airport outside Boston to Philly that was supposed to land around same time as plane to Miami was taking off. Flight to Miami took off a little earlier as the Bedford plane was delayed but then another private charter popped for Philly to Bloomington a little bit after that so we don’t know.

EDITING TO ADD: I’m wrong they’re the same airport. Keeping the post as it was for transparency other than this note

Would add: Celts don’t travel from Bedford, they travel from Lanscom, but if it’s not official C’s business and you even have reason to want to dodge folks you’d recognize, you might use a different base

I know we have flight trackers on this board… We need somebody who knows how to get video from public cameras around the Boston, Miami, and Bloomington areas lol

We’re talking about the same place. The airport code is KBED. Laurence G. Hanscom Field. It’s in Bedford, MA.

It’s Hanscom; the former Air Force Base. Been there many, many times. And it’s in Bedford, Mass.

I think all the info coming out right now is probably from very high donors. 

If they are high I don't know if you would want to believe them.

[IsaacTor 1,030]

I will def miss all the flight tracking it is hilarious.

 

Flight from Bloomington to Albuquerque NM. There was also a flight from Bedford MA to Albuquerque, NM only 3 weeks ago> Guys brads favorite TV show is breaking bad. IU must have met him at the locations they filmed at.

Okay so here is where we are at,:

 

So yes some high dollar donors are where I am hearing that a verbal has been reached. Sounds like last bit of piece we need to do is get approval for new salary/bonus totals. Brads agents essentially got dolson to verbally up the offer which needs board approval. Takes time for board to approve, send revised contract, get him to sign it, work out other details. 

Because of this news being massive I think they will work to expedite. Part of reason high dollar donors are first to hear is because there is some additional NIL ask that is part of the verbal with brad. 

So while this is now at the one inch line we just need to formalize. I doubt top media will hear about this until later tomorrow as they are keeping it pretty quiet right now. 

I do not know what the verbal is in terms of how much we will pay him but do know that NIL increase will likely be much higher than what woodson worked with and woodson worked with a top 10 NIL budget 

 

Don't sound like they are keeping it to quiet if they told you

Can we go back over why Philly is significant? 

Ned's plane was in Philly, had been since Wednesday.  It was then headed back to Opa for 10 mins, then back to Clark.  All the while a plane from Boston was set to land in Philly,  timing didn't make sense as there was a gap, but they ended up missing each other by 10 mins.  Shortly after that a flight from Philly to Bloomington showed up, due to land at 4:54.

[hoosierdaddy1980 19]

@KyleBMac22 count me in!!!! I am getting way to excited over all this!!!

Lots of statistics can be cited to compare Josh Schertz and Ben McCollum. The bottom line? Their resumes are remarkably similar; McCollum has more Division 2 tourney success but a slightly lesser D2 won/loss record, Schertz has much more D1 experience and now experience and success in a better conference. 

Schertz has a much more modern playing style and pace.

If I showed people a blind comparison most would likely choose Schertz, but it's splitting hairs.

So my summary conclusions:

1. Why in the hell are some people so intrigued by the prospect of McCollum but not about Schertz also?
2. Why in the hell would anyone prefer either of them to McDermott, Buzz, McCasland, and many, many others that have substantial Division 1 accomplishments?

My theory? The reason so many are more intrigued by McCollum than Schertz is because

McCollum looks more like this: 

 

Whereas Schertz (and Buzz lol) looks more like this:

You need your eyes checked. McCollum looks more like Gollum than he looks like Colin Farrell.

The Eagles Super Bowl parade is today. Just sayin

Genuinely would be a good idea for an enterprising media school student. A UM student staked out the airport for Harbaugh’s arrival and has parlayed that into a journalism career
