OT- Tom Herman cries to sports talk show hosts about Kyle Allen article.
http://houston.cbslocal.com/2015/12/13/former-am-qb-kyle-allen-in-houst…
Kyle Allen, who started parts of two seasons for Texas A&M, was in Houston Sunday to explore transfer opportunities with Cougars’ head coach Tom Herman, SportsRadio 610 has been told by a source.
Allen, a former five-star recruit out of Scottsdale, Ariz., met with Herman and at least one other member of the Houston Cougars staff at an undisclosed location in town.
Link to the argument.
This is kind of sad and funny at the same time. I hope they dig further to prove the source correct.

You know what it is crazy to me? That this is the first post on the board since 2am. That was a drought.
January 6th, 2016 at 12:14 PM ^
I could've waited a little longer for something coherent and/or relevant.
January 6th, 2016 at 12:21 PM ^
The lack of a new post made me think that I may have to actually concentrate on work today.
That was close.

There was a lot of tension built up over the season and the past several years and after the Citrus Bowl win a lot of people let out a huge sigh of relief that there is some confidence in 2016 and beyond. People are still basking in that and will pick up as the BB season picks up and around the NC and Superbowl.

I am waiting on a Dentist visit this afternoon, and had noticed the same as I have checked in several times. I decided to log in to respond to the Flint River thread as I was bored.

I think we're supposed to listen to a 20 minute podcast about the University of Houston to get more details.
January 6th, 2016 at 12:20 PM ^
He is pretty bitchy on that call. And he's splitting hairs, for sure.
January 6th, 2016 at 7:45 PM ^
Herman also wanted to set the record straight that there wasn't a "big booster" at the meeting that he says never happened

I read as "Tom Harmon", was confused.
January 6th, 2016 at 12:22 PM ^
you should work on reading comprehension - especially disappointing if you did attend Michigan and CalTech
January 6th, 2016 at 12:24 PM ^
"Kenny" Allen...since the post about his return was the most recent post--- for what seemed like forever.

I read it correctly (I think) and I'm still confused as to 1) what happened and 2) why we care.

Guess I need to post more often.

I saw an article, in the Chicago Sun-Times, that this was a done deal, Allen will xfer to U of Houston. No?
January 6th, 2016 at 12:25 PM ^
What's up with his teeth in that photo? Looks like he has pearly whites, not shiny golds, like promised?

I read Tom Harmon was talking about Kenny Allen. Then I realized it was about the University of Houston and I care nothing about this post.

January 6th, 2016 at 1:08 PM ^
Given that they made a public announcement yesterday (LINK) that he is indeed transferring to Houston, I'm not sure where you're going with this... but hey, surprise me!

A reporter inaccurately accused Herman, an asst coach and a booster of meeting in Houston with a possible QB transfer: Allen. Not only would that have violated multiple NCAA rules; that inaccuracy also made Herman look like a liar to his other QB recruit.
Moreover, the reporter did not apologize. In fact, he did not even stand up himself and argue with Herman one-on-one. Rather, he resorted to a cowardly subterfuge. He had his cohost constantly argue with and interrupt Herman. In addition, the cohost himself was not even a journalist--but rather characterized himself as an "entertainer"---not subject to the ethics of journalism.
Frankly, I don't care about the argument involving Herman But his comments to me point toward a growing problem. In the guise of journalism, media personalities report events---which may be false---and feel no obligation to follow the ethics of journalism: eg to check the accuracy of sources by talking to Herman before making a false report. Such irresponsible behavior reminded me of Herbstreit's unethical reporting of a Les-Miles-to-UM rumor without even asking Miles if it were true. I suspect strongly that Herbstreit--as well as his fellow OSU alum who ran ESPN's sportcenter--were intentionally messing with UM's coaching search.
With regard to the present issue involving Herman and his QB recruit, I also wonder if the false reports may have come from rivals.

The radio personalities did a hack job.
Herman is a great coach. I don't care about his shirt stint with Meyer and Ohio.
January 6th, 2016 at 4:13 PM ^
I did not mean that the sources of Herbstreit's report necessarily came from rivals (which may have occurred with the sources of the report on the Houston coach). I meant that Herbstreit's decision to report the (unverified and ultimately uincorrect) info could be due to his own interests as an OSU alum. Given that I have never heard him report any other rumors--and he must hear countless other rumors in his job-- I can only wonder why he chose to make this one report about Miles-to-UM. Certainly, it would not be the first time that an OSU alum/booster tried to interfere in UM's business. And UM's coaching hire that year meant a great deal to OSU boosters.
Thankfully, we have a brilliant AD named Hackett, whose secrecy during the Harbaugh hire may have helped prevent any repetition of past mistakes.

Houston, we have a problem.

I would not know what to say even if I desired to discuss the substance of the OP.
Why bother?
