The only thing I’ve read this afternoon that has made me feel okay about losing Leach is some mystical combination of Fulmer, Tee Martin, & Chavis. That said, the idea that Fulmer had anything to do with tanking the Leach deal so that he could be brought back on board is worrisome.

I’m ok if this is the way things turn out.

It hurts, but if it’s an injury in pursuit of greater good, I’ll survive

I kind of liked the “Are you seriously still going to ask people to fork over $340 Million after the last ten years and what’s going on right now?” tone of that question.

Seemed to be very nervous twosome with very carefully chosen words. Hope they can get it done.

Davenport and Fulmer did a great job of not saying anything. And our impotent media did their usual excellent job of letting them.

I agree Joel… I have done depositions in a patent dispute and it is not easy… I am sure they were well coached. I also think Davenport received a lot of internal criticism by the trustees on leadership and control miss steps on handling Currie and the damage done to the UT brand. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

I’m starting to feel better. Feels like some wrongs from 9 years ago have just been atoned for.
