Mike Haynie: New Chancellor Announcement: Tues 10 AM

[FrancoPizza]

Not that it matters, but it’s very unique to have a chancellor who has vast military experience and is a gay man.

If it doesn't matter then why did you mention his sexual orientation? Seriously.

 

[Owens guy]

I think the A.D will be named by next Monday

That would be great! Hopefully it is not Lyke. It can't be.

I really don't want to mess up the basketball coach hire due to still getting the new AD hired.

 

[Newhouser]

I think the A.D will be named by next Monday

will we be happy?

 

[sufan59]

This guy is dominating the speech, my gosh.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Invite this guy to a tailgate.

 

[orange79]

If it doesn't matter then why did you mention his sexual orientation? Seriously.

Because, if nothing else, it's a ground-breaking hire.

 

[Frozen]

Because, if nothing else, it's a ground-breaking hire.

This guy gets it.

Syracuse dot com mentioned it in their story about the hire. They seem to think it’s newsworthy.

 

[Owens guy]

What does the J stand for in J. Michael Haynie?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Sing the Alma Mater.

Get seasick.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

I hope they got at least a half-day's pay for the appearance.

 

[Bulldog04]

Genuine as can be. That was a great speech and not one part of it was about him. I’m definitely buying him nachos at the football game

 

[OrangeXtreme]

OK, back to work everyone.

 

[phil77]

Is the Media Q&A going to be streamed?

 

[Bill Orange]

Is the Media Q&A going to be streamed?

Right after the mimosa bar closes.

 

[LpoolNative]

Way more exciting than Kent

 

[Bill Orange]

Is Heather Lyke in attendance?

Didn't see her, but I did see HCFB and Angeli.

 

[richmondcuse03]

Didn't see her, but I did see HCFB and Angeli.

And a prominent basketball booster.

 

[LpoolNative]

Is Heather Lyke in attendance?

She’s in timeout

 

[Sherman20]

Does anyone know who the other contenders were?

 

[FrancoPizza]

Way more exciting than Kent

And hopefully less duplicitous.

 

[LpoolNative]

Nothing worse than limp handshake, not even sure how to attack that

But, but… he’s socially awkward and quiet cut him some slack!

 

[Sherman20]

SU’s first openly gay chancellor. Love this.

 

[Jasoncuse]

What does the J stand for in J. Michael Haynie?

Google AI says John

But I think it's just J. and he's the namesake for J. Michael Shoes on Marshall.

Saw a clip he talked about wanting to sneak away from his box seats and hang in the student section to watch a game! That’s the kind of guy we need boots on the ground listening to the fan base.
