Re: Jay getting ready to talk Tigue

If the project has gone from 10 to 17 million, that's a lot of checkbooks that have to open up.

Rumor that a $2 million donation had been pulled was inaccurate. (This corroborates what was said in this thread).

2 Phase construction on Lemoine website is old info and should be updated.

Cost of project has risen considerably.

Doesn't expect it to be ready for opening game of season. Compared it the the South Al (?) reconstruction a few years ago, which was supposed to be ready for opening game but wasn't.

Did he mention "rumor" that we only had 3 million collected so far?

And 3 million is still not 70% of 10 million.

Re: Jay getting ready to talk Tigue

So what is it that he said that everyone is so up in arms about? Or is he correct... haters gonna hate?

1. The Lemoine websight is misleading. IT IS. I read 2 phases.. between end of 16 and beginning of 17. Others read it to say phase 1 after 16 and phase 2 after 17. Thats what Jay said and I agree

2. The stadium will be completed this year.. maybe not by opening day but our butts will be in the new Tigue.. I believe that

3. No $2 million pledge has been pulled

4. 70% of $10 million has been received. The project is going to be over-run

This is what I heard

Re: Jay getting ready to talk Tigue

Instead of pretending they had 70% of the money, imagine if they would have started some local campaign like "Let's Build Tony's House" or something clever sounding and plastered that all over billboards, emails, commercials, etc.

Actually asking fans and alumni to donate would have been way better than this "silent phase" hogwash.

Only problem is, math..
70% of $10 Mil is not $3 Mil...

So.. idk?

That's why for me "The Voice" of The RaginCajuns will always be Don Allen. Not The Puppet BOP.

Russo's donation was $5 million. How do you figure we only have $3 million?

I am still waiting for something from the RCAF asking for my donation. I guess the RCAF is in a silent phase for annual fund too.

I can answer this...

$3MM in hand right now
$4MM to be given in $1MM amounts over 4 years ($5MM from Russo @ $1MM/yr for 5 yrs)

$3MM + $4MM = $7MM (70% of $10MM)

$3 million of funds actually collected, not pledged. Money in the account. Russo has not given 5 million yet.

Jay did say that Farmer said 70% pledged. I don't recall the initial interview though. Just saying what Jay said today.

Re: Jay getting ready to talk Tigue

Even if you count Russo's money in hand as of today, you've only raised $2 mill additional dollars since the initial renovation was announced. Isn't that a terrible amount considering the time passed? What are they waiting on for a public campaign????

You're saying Russo and all the other donors won't give the rest?
