News conference at 8?
A fellow alum told me that she'd heard from a player that DB has been fired. A news conference to be held at 8 p.m. (Central Time) tonight.

(UPDATE: Time corrected to 8 a.m. Monday.)
(UPDATE2: My source has assumed 8.a.m. Monday ... checked and then told me it IS 8 p.m. tonight)

One can hope.

I don't see any announcement of a press conference anywhere

I've corrected the time to tomorrow (Monday). I was told simply "8" ... and assumed that meant tonight.

Nothing on Mark Berman’s Twitter Feed. Of course the Texans Game is still going on.

Bailiff is probably announcing his retirement.

I hope it's a more amicable departure than a firing.

I hope it is a firing. We don't need to make it acrimonious but the message should be loud and clear from Rice - this crap ends today.

If he retires and the AD and BOT all clap and hug each other it sends a message that we are the same old clown show we have been for a half century. Come here, make money, retire in place.

Keep it professional. Keep it simple but I hope it is an opportunity to send a message about leadership, accountability and expectations.

Typically, doesn’t a department issue a news release before such a press conference?

Seems odd to me that we haven’t seen anything yet.

It's probably just a rumor.

8 pm Sunday is a strange time to have a news conference. 8 am Monday only slightly less strange. I think it's a rumor.

A rumor is probably right for a firing. This timing makes little sense; the firing should have been after UAB.

But a retirement announcement is possible. That might help attendance for the North Texas game.

The Thresher lead story is Willy's Pub reopening. Nothing on the athletics homepage, Twitter, or Facebook. Mark Berman still talking Texans. Doesn't look like anything to be announced tonight.

Any update? Maybe a team meeting tonight and a presser tomorrow? Or false alarm?

This seems plausible... a news conference without any advance warning doesn't make sense.

Or Bailiff is finally calling all the timeouts he has been saving up for 11 years.
