Tortora: Wildhack headed to Chicago to discuss candidate options

[Acesn8s]

possibly a candidate from west coast somewhere nobody has thought of?

 

[SU68]

I don’t understand why they’d go to Chicago?

For the deep dish pizza.

 

[Wrinkle]

Torterra is a terrible Pokemon

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Clown show closing quickly obviously too much to expect.

 

[GoSU96]

They haven’t heard of Zoom?

You aren’t doing something like this on a zoom call

 

[SUskibum]

Tortora is just excited for wildhack to return so he can ask the hard hitting Tortora classic:

“John, talk a little bit about how impressed you were with Chicago?”

haha Yup.

John, just what can you say about Chicago and it's importance among the Syracuse University stakeholders?

 

[GoSU96]

Understood but these people can't make it back to Syracuse for this important decision?

If you have money and decision makers in LA and Arizona and NYC and Syracuse this make sense.

 

[TheHaze315]

Is it possible Chicago for one reason or another was just the easiest location for everyone to meet? And they’re there to make the decision?

 

[GoSU96]

Understood but these people can't make it back to Syracuse for this important decision?

Because Syracuse is a PITA to get to from much of the country. Waste of time and money, go somewhere that is a direct flight for every party.

This is incorrect.

SU brass are *listening* to Chicago.

Pretty sure it’s a Spotify playlist. 25 or 6 to 4, followed by Hard for Me to Say I’m Sorry.

Does anybody really know what time the meeting is?

Does anybody really care?

 

[Bayside44]

Yeah if true an in person money deal.

 

[gmoney44]

How dare you syphon post from the Dan Mullen thread.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Why do you guys take this guy for his word? He’s always wrong.

 

[Crusty]

This guy knows this how?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

"It's 680 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses...

 

[SmilinBob]

Asking the Big 10 which coach would get SU in their conference?

 

[OrlandoCuse]

It’s obvious Wildhack is meeting with the B1G brass to negotiate a move to the conference.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Maybe we really are getting the band back together?

 

[Orangepace]

Could be central location for brass and donors. Chicago easy place to fly in to. Common to meet at airports. You save time getting in/out.

Chicago is the last airport in the continental
US I would choose for this… they’ll be stuck until at least 10pm trying to get back out.

 

[kingtidge]

Getting used to the new dynamic with CAL and Stanford joining the conference.

Conference meetings in the O'Hare Plaza Premium Lounge... Checking out the buffet, etc.

 

[CuseCactus]

They should come to Arizona. Everyone will be in a better mood - as it’s sunny and not a full blizzard. Just sayin.

 

[sabach]

The only reason to go to Chicago is to interview Golden in the vicinity. But more likely he’d come to us.

Golden is recruiting in California today.

 

[Chip]

This is incorrect.

SU brass are *listening* to Chicago.

Pretty sure it’s a Spotify playlist. 25 or 6 to 4, followed by Hard for Me to Say I’m Sorry.

They played You’re The Inspiration at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade.

I looked at my kids and said you have no idea.

 

[kingtidge]

If this true, I might surmise a handful of new agent/coach interviews will be occurring here with search firm facilitating...

That may signal Wildhack simply doing his due diligence and working his way down the list. It could also indicate that negotiations with any frontrunner candidate(s) that have already interviewed may have stalled or been ruled out.

Or it's a easy spot for the candidate we want for a contract signing...

Pure speculation, of course but Occam's razor...

Despite this guy never ever being right about anything we’ll have a 50+ page thread by the end of the day speculating about a tweet that has almost 0% chance of being based on any reality. Lol
