I wasn’t the one wondering around CF alone yesterday..

You literally screenshot my tweet and posted it instead simply quoting it. Did you add that to your file of my online posts? You have gone even further into stalker mode.

Yes it would’ve been even smaller. Your takes on this is almost incomprehensible.

I can’t quote it because you blocked my account, puss. Someone sent me that in a text. I’m thrilled it bothered you that much though.

My take? My take has been the same as everyone else. Selective enforcement of the policy is wrong by the administration. The only difference is that I brought up solutions but many just want to storm Martin Hall and that will never work.

I don’t think I have you blocked. I saw it when a mutual friend commented on your tweet.

During Buffalo's potential game tying drive last night, the PA announcer had to remind CF that this isn't a library. THAT'S the type of environment I'm going for, and I believe Martin Hall is in full agreement. Minus the loud, rude intrusion from the PA obviously. This is a library sir. Why else would I be sitting here with this copy of Pride and Prejudice sipping a cup of tea?

Martin Hall has NEVER been proactive. If they aren’t dragged through the coals by the fan base they don’t do anything.

The only thing that’s changed is Mark Hudspeth won and got the IPF built. Giving us a massive recruiting advantage in the region.

RCAF isn’t independent.

COA isn’t fully funded anymore.

Near zero NIL funding.

Fundraising positions in a hiring freeze.

Adversarial relationship with the student body.

I could go on and on. But you get the point.

All I can say is wow that was bad. Inconsistencies between various policies, definitions that are extremely vague. Rules that amount to a confusing maze in order to hold any event on campus. Covid rules still being published for organizations to follow. A third party auditor would tear this apart.

As far as the message goes I think the problem is a lack of understanding with the powers that be in charge of said messaging. Marketing is very different than crisis & reputation management. I don't think our marketing group, who appears to be in charge of both, has learned that lesson.

We all know these issues. Many want to just complain about it but what does that change? RCAF probably will never be independent, we all know that. Where do you want to grow the money to fund COA? At the same time we’re asking people to donate funds to NIL. Fans wallets are being pulled in multiple directions right now. I’ve offered possible solutions but like always, a few just want to crap on any idea that goes against their “us against the Admin” ways.

Chris,

I’ll extend the olive branch here because I know you do care. Where I disagree are some of your solutions is that they still go around the incompetence of the decisions the administration has made. For example, you said for students to tailgate on the west side. Well by then doing that, it’s unintentionally saying that the selective rule in place is justified. As far as the Greeks talking to Martin Hall, I do know that the right people are aware of the situation there so hopefully things can get settled before any of this foolishness escalates.

The fact is we never had to deal with these ticky tack selective rules when we were students. And we definitely didn’t have people in the administration selectively picking and choosing what rules to enforce on any given day when they felt like it. If we were students back then and had to deal with that, you and I both know we wouldn’t put up with it nor should the students that are there now.

The reason why people here and in the fan base get mad at MH about this kind of stuff is because it’s become a pattern. We are the customer, and our tax dollars fund their paychecks. If they’re not doing their jobs, we have a right as donors and taxpayers to speak up and tell them.

Hopefully, all of this gets settled because these are future alumni and donors we are messing with. If the administration keeps poking them, they’ll never come back years from now when we are calling them asking for donations.

We have a gap in the donor base of roughly 30 years. Why do you suppose that is?

Bingo

Isn't bingo like beer pong?

I was at the student tailgate from 4-5 visiting my 2 children and seeing what it is all about. Yes. Pong was played. In true UL fashion after much backlash they relaxed the rules as they have done every other weekend. The student tailgate was very well attended. When it shut down, because the Greeks are tired of the childish rules and being F____ed with constantly by Hidie Lindsey and others, they packed up and went to Marley’s. Had all the kids at the tailgate gone in the game the crowd would have easily been bigger than week one. The reason they even went to the tailgate was because it was family week and lots of them had parents there. My 21 year old missed the 2nd home game of his entire life.

They did not relax the rule about going to the houses. Some had security hired and parents over during the day. My sons fraternity is doing parents day later in the year. They could not meet at their house pre or post game.

My view of the tailgate in general. IMO it is one of the most depressing things I have ever seen, on a college campus for tailgating. When I was a kid my grandfather had around 500 head of cattle. When working cattle, you first round them up and put them in a holding pen, before running them through the shoot. I told my son and his friends, that the student tailgate looks like a bunch of cattle being round up and fenced in, with someone guarding the gate making sure they don’t get out and party outside of the pen.

Lastly my freshman daughter had their family day at Marley’s from 1-3 in the afternoon. So I was able to check go to Marley’s off my bucket list as I went there for my first time.
