One thing in this week's Crossfire caught my eye and I thought I would run with it to see if we could get jump start on "20 Questions" next week.

I saw the following Crossfire question and McPhaul's answer:

Q) Is Patterson accepting resumes? If so, how can I get it to him?

A) I’m having lunch with him soon so, email it to me. I will see that he gets it.

If McPhaul is having lunch with Patterson and gets time for Q and A, what are the specific questions we want answered?

Short and concise, 20 words or less.

1) How does it feel to be back in Austin? Does it feel like home or is this just another job? (start with the easy questions)

2) When do you feel the transition will end and we can legitimately consider the Steve Patterson era to have begun?

3) Have you talked to Deloss lately? How is he doing?

4) Have you had the opportunity to spend time with the BMDs? Are they on board with your plans for the program?

5) What is your long term vision for the UT basketball program? Do they include Rick Barnes?

6) You have retained Disney for football game day atmosphere. Does Disney understand tailgating?

7) You have mentioned $200 mil as your target for athletics revenues. What is your target for athletics expenses?

8) Will we get a world class sports medicine and rehabilitation institute as part of the new med medical school complex?

9) You are famous for tweeting during games while AD at ASU. Can we expect the same at UT this fall?

...who wants to add questions they want McPhaul to ask Steve Patterson. 20 words or less.

 
I'm sure mcphaul is a charming dining companion, but I'm gonna need pics to believe this deal.

Of course i don't know what mcphaul looks like, so I guess my skepticism will remain.

Damn these message boards!!!

 
Will the new basketball arena be more courtside like Gregory Gym in order to bring the fans closer to the action?

 
I am beyond 60, but would like to see the students given access to the first 10 rows around the entire court for basketball.

 
What are your plans on fixing (enclosing it completely) the South End of the stadium and if so when will it happen?

 
Please rank the top 10'revenue targets on the way to $200 million. IE. basketball tickets, merchandising, donors, etc

 
That was a joke.
Lol. Too late. Either Steve is having lunch with you soon, or we are storming Bellmont. The questions are out there. We aren't asking any questions the rest of the faithful aren't also wanting answers to.

RE:Penn State you replied, "messy...past closure". Disagree; no way a large charity funded by PSU donors ran for a decade for one pedophile, hidden by 50 persons. Not past closure needs exposure. Will it happen?

 
Does he know we have fallen behind in the race to have the best facilities in college football?

 
I LOL Sirhorns. :)

I was just thinkin' : When's Saban Gettin' Here (?) when I read your post.

 
Is it true that every time any NBA player got a new contract that Hakeem started whining about how he deserved a raise to match?

(Steve knows the answer to this)

I meant it is a messy topic.

Will exposure happen? I doubt it. History shows us that these types of deals have been swept under the rug.

I think everyone is missing Charlie's point.

Charlie does not want to hear any excuses from his players on why they can't win now so, he certainly is not going to admit they have

inadequate facilities to work with.

You can bet we will catch up under Strong & Patterson.
