Carl Sewell wasn't all smiles when he was talking to Orsini during the second half of the basketball game on Sunday.....and it didn't look like it was just because the Mustangs were losing........... :roll:

The money is there. Period.

And then some.

(Carl Sewell is just fine, thank you.)

Happy New Year, Chicken Littles.

Maybe Mr. Sewell was letting Steve-O in on the fact that Top 25 survey or not, his customer service policies & game day experience don't exactly mesh with the ideology of "Customers for Life."

The whole athletic department would do well to read that book.

I was sitting in the row behind Sewell, he seemed in good spirits to me.

Oh no. I already anxiously await you as Supreme Beng to announce that your grand inside information has just told you that we are pursuing Paul Johnson but your insiders say he is leaning towards Georgia Tech.

I know Blog. Blog is a friend of mine. You sir are no Blog.

Happy New Year.

With one phone call, Blog has done more actual reporting than that other site ever has. Kudos, Blog.

The money is there. Fran will not get what is being talked about for Jones, nor will he demand it. He'll get well paid if he ends up getting the job, but not as well paid as Jones will if he ends up taking the job.

Not a problem. The Ags will make up the difference.

That thought makes me chuckle.


Do you know that for sure -- have you read his agreement with ATM?

I assume if he takes any coaching job ATM will owe nothing -- I have not read his release -- am just guessing.

Though common sense, it was & is an excellent book that's good for any company.

Common sense, courtesy, and customer service would be greatly appreciated. In my most recent transaction with athletic ticket office personnel, they acted as though they were selling tickets to game seven of the World Series and that they were doing me a huge personal favor by allowing me to sit in a half-empty stadium. Not exactly Sewell's mantra...
