No no. Your Brion's ban is lifetime...my Nats ban is till 2019...

 

[p8triotfan4life]

for the record, I was never banned there. I have chosen to take my business elsewhere.

HAHAHA. It's funny because you're dead...

You're right an announcement should come this weekend, .....

Seems pretty quick if they just brought 3 to campus this week. I would think the search committee needs to decide, pass it up to the President, and then the negotiations begin. Top choice doesn't necessarily accept.

Like our HC hire...its needs to be quick and make a splash....

It could be Larry, Curly, or Moe for all I care, so long as we have an elite basketball program again!

An friend of mine (who knows very little about Mason sports) that works with one of the members of the selection committee overheard him repeatedly mention a name that sounded like Merten (but with a funny accent) and that "she" was coming to campus this weekend. I told him he must have heard it wrong, that our former president was Merten and "he" lives locally already. My friend insisted that he heard it correctly.

I think my friend must have heard them talking about something else but thought I would throw that out there in case it makes any sense to one of you.

Yes, I hope that wijg is joking about this - see http://www.umterps.com/ViewArticle.dbml?&ATCLID=208347562&DB_OEM_ID=29700 & http://www.starnewsonline.com/article/20100927/ARTICLES/100929704.

AD doesnt do well with names like Paul and Merten/Merhtens. Yikes!

 

[99 Patriot]

She is not a finalist at all. All three are well qualified folks I think these boards would only find mild grievances with.

Give us a little time I'm sure we can do better than just mild grievances.

Why are you continuing to be cryptic just tell us who they are!

 

[dr. gunnie]

Why are you continuing to be cryptic just tell us who they are!

It's kind of sad - when most schools go through a change at AD the local newspaper is all over it. You always hear who the finalists are - little bios of each... of course we get nothing. I wish we had a local newspaper that cared about Mason.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Yeah, Patriot 99 is such a cock...teasing us that he knows who the finalists are but not telling us who.

Are the finalists girls or boys? White or minority? Transexual, bisexual or homosexual?

 

[wijg]

Since 99 won't tell you, I'll spill the beans. I have just heard from my source that the finalists are:
Pat Krieger
Charles Bradley
Kelly Mehrtens

 

[wijg]

A correction on the list of remaining candidates. I am told that Charles Bradley was one of the last candidates eliminated. The third finalist is from some place called Mission College. Two names were specified, but not sure which one is the actual candidate:

Corey Cafferata
Mike Perez
