Were I a better Christian, this would be an esoteric list of descriptives.

@slmandel OU has a $2mill/yr coach and a $48mill stadium. Tech still has a long way to go to catch up

@mattleeanderson My wife had the white flight book assigned during undergrad. Article was an interesting read.

@ryanburge @BaptistPress My math was bad, was thinking about the 5,500 vs 11,000. From the 13,000 out of 15,000 messengers, the total number of non-votes was about the same.

I’d bet the time of the vote had a big impact. Also potentially after Barber almost won the first the second wouldn’t be as close

@kstrader11 @BaptistPress Looks like 6847 votes of 8095 possible earlier in the day. So you had 3 more possible votes for the run off but almost 1,300 less cast. Things ran really late, I’m guessing that was the biggest impact on it.

@kstrader11 @BaptistPress I believe members present is everyone who is registered and able to vote. Many aren’t in the room and some could potentially abstain.

@EatReadProvoke @kateshellnutt All we are missing now is a proposed amendment of someone’s axe to grind that has nothing to do with the original point

[Tyler Holloway @TylerHolloway]

@EatReadProvoke @kateshellnutt You’re right, I was out of order. I will be back at 2:57 tomorrow afternoon to do it again

[Tyler Holloway @TylerHolloway]

@kateshellnutt In essence yes. Not a question about roles and responsibilities but about job title.

Last minute change kept him around. He is 5-3, true, but his losses have been flat out terrible. This is by far his best roster, but results have been the same as previously. By all accounts a good man, but it just wasn’t working here.

@DustyDvoracek enjoy your commentary, but respectfully you are off on Matt Wells. The program isn’t better off than when he got here. He has back to back 4 win seasons. That’s fewer games than Kingsbury ever won. He was a hair’s breadth from being let go last offseason but a

Day, Jesus instituted the Church to stand forever. One day, near or far, all the SBC entities will go away. The Church will still be there.

[Tyler Holloway @TylerHolloway]

Also worth noting that come what may, the churches that make up the SBC, other than ones guilty of harboring abusers, will emerge from the other side. Maybe the entities we collaboratively funded won’t because of actions the took (or failed to take). And while that would be a sad

In the meantime, reading that letter brought a quote to mind from high school English:

Methinks thou dost protest too much.

[Tyler Holloway @TylerHolloway]

That resignation letter was a concise summary of the mess the SBC Exec Committee has made. Don’t waive your arms and decry the drastic action you were required to take as potentially impugning your integrity and character when it is the accumulation of actions you have taken over

[Tyler Holloway @TylerHolloway]

Then maybe the hand wringing and delaying will be proved to have had merit. But I’d rather the SBC lose its money by pursuing the truth of what was done and rectifying it as possible than hiding behind the legal system.

[Tyler Holloway @TylerHolloway]

It is astounding to release a letter saying you must resign in order to protect those traits.

The way to maintain integrity, leadership, and character are to show you didn’t actually do wrong.

If in five years the SBC is reduced to ruin because of a landslide of lawsuits,
