There’s always something very satisfying about the Dennis Gates bat signal, whether it’s expected or not.
In the case of the signal Gates sent out on Thursday, we were expecting it. Earlier in the week there was a “expect good news this week” note from some sources. It was vague, but coming right in the midst of Bishop Boswell’s visit to Columbia that’s immediately where my mind went. That was dispelled fairly quickly as Boswell had hinted he may want to take some more time to think about his options after the visit.
Then T.O. Barrett posted a cryptic countdown on his instagram pointing to a Thursday announcement, and we were able to connect the dots.
