<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Keenum will likely be announced on November 5, after the final interviews.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span> I just do not see any way that the board will stick us with the other guy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span> Anyway, when Keenum is announced as the "preferred candidate," this does not mean that he will get the votes in the end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span> He will still have to appease the faculty during the vetting period.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span> I would say that we have a 90% chance that Keenum will be our President, but there is still that 10% chance that the faculty and board will screw us in the end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Wrong, I assure you that there are some on the board who are just waiting to use the "well the faculty rejected him during the vetting period, so I can't vote for him."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span> Even after he is the preferred candidate, he still has to go back and get 7 votes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I hope you are correct, but some on the board feel like Keenum is being shoved down their throats, and they do not like it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span> They are looking for any way to get out of this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span> We should not count our chickens yet…</span></p>
The members that supported Watson are indeed pissed that they lost their candidate. They are especially pissed after receiving a tons of threatening emails last week to select Keenum or else. We will get Keenum but everyone needs to chill out and definitely don't send them anymore ****** emails.
