I don't get that argument. I mean, I get the braggadocio bit -- "Hey, we have lots of money!" -- but the other part makes no sense. Why on earth would they make up a claim that demonstrated that they tried to throw all that money at someone and he still told them to go frick themselves? What's the benefit of bragging about how you can't even lure a coach to your program with $100 million? The only conclusion that leads to is that your program has fallen so far that one-tenth of a billion dollars isn't enough to get who you want. It's like bragging that the head cheerleader turned you down for the prom despite you offering to buy her a new Maserati if she'd go. It just makes you seem like you must be really repulsive.

I'm guessing you've never had the pleasure of having a conversation with a Texas oil man.

Ah must admit, ah've never had that pleasure. But ah done seen them on the tee-vee sometimes and ah figger that stuff must be true cause they can't lie on the tee-vee, can they? So ah at least knows them Texas oil men wear them goldurned cowboy hats and shoot hookers with their six-shooters because they can buy their way out of a jail sentence. That sound about right?
