No clue. Don't really care, either. I hope the band gets it together, but their quality doesn't effect the football team. My statement about money was to explain why we can't be the best at everything and need to have our priorities straight financially. Obviously money isn't the only factor.

No they hired him because he is the butt buddy of regent Weisenheimer and Weisenheimer is butt buddies with Boren...That is the entire reason. The guy was not qualified according to the job posting, Boren asked that he be considered, he was and not selected/recommended and then Boren took the committee recommendation, ignored it and selected his butt buddy butt buddy...

All right, kids, it is now my job to teach you the theory of Pride drama.
Now I, for one, think it's really not as bad as made out to be, but I've been told I have to tell it to you anyway. It was thought up by lots of alumni on facebook and it goes something like this...
In the beginning, we were all awesome. Okay? Marching around on the field. And then one day a couple of guys brought in a dumb director, and the dumb director was different, so it got hired. So dumb director goes on to make more dumb marching maneuvers and then one day, a new pregame routing crawled out onto the field with its...
