I was enjoying Jerry Hinnen’s how-can-you-dismiss-Auburn-and-praise-Arkansas-next-season post, mainly because I agree with him, when I got to this passage:
But the point is that when you’re looking for your 2010 SEC sleeper–and that you can’t have a top-25 with just three SEC teams is the principal excuse for ranking the Hogs in this exercise, I’m sure–there’s just as many reasons not to overlook Auburn, just as many to overlook a team like Arkansas. But for whatever reason, the preseason Angel of Expectational Death* appears to be in the process of passing over Auburn’s (and Georgia’s and Tennessee’s) door…
*It has the face of Skip Bayless and the voice of Pam Ward.
That image will disturb my sleep for at least a week.

The Evans/Richt plane just left Austin for College Station.
DeRuyter is in College Station meeting with A&M.
DeRuyter = UGA MNCs. Get it done, team.

While it seems a little presumptuous on our part to jet into someone else’s territory to do a competing interview with a candidate they have in for an interview, business is business i guess. Mike Sherman already knows knows from the bowl f/k/a the WeedEater that we take what we want when we want it or at least try to. Could this be the Shootout at the College Station Corral between Richt and Mike Sherman to see who gets to win the hand of deRuyter?

I think it’s understood and not against common protocol.
“We’re currently in Austin. We’d like to meet with you before you accept at A&M. Where can we meet you?”

That’s fine by me. Am perfectly happy with a deRuyter hire just as i would be with a Grantham or a Travis Jones hire.

Shouldn’t DeRuyter be walking into the loud and filthy basement of the Butts-Mehre building to “interview” CMR?

Dienhart says Tex A&M DC job down to DeRuyter and Wilcox (Boise State) who is on campus now. Apparently, our so-called plane, wherever it is, must not be taking on human cargo.
