So. Stevie quit, or, maybe got fired? I thought it was his show.Quote:

He said Marlin does not make excuses ... I could not breath I was laughing so hard
Does that mean someone was asking a tough question about Marlin?Quote:

CajunGrad16 may be able to do that later as he works at the station. Also, the ESPN1420 Facebook page may have it later. Cody may also link it on his Twitter page later.Quote:

That, and getting the CF reno done will also be a daunting undertaking, but I truly believe that Maggard will get both done.Quote:

As much as we ask about the progress of this project on this forum, there may not be even one participant here with the resources to make a significant contribution to it. Some have said our economy is better than that in Jonesboro. That is besides the point if they have a couple of sugar daddies and we have ZERO in that category. Not to be too negative here as I believe the project will ultimately be executed. I simply believe it will take longer than any of us would like due to the challenging financial situation we find ourselves in.Quote:

This has been part of the plan all along. That wasn't particularly something new.Quote:

Can't wait to see the drawings.
No doubt, it's going to require some type of naming rights or major advertising benefits for one or more major investors. It can't rely on just private donations. They have to sell their vision and goals, being one of the top G5 athletic programs in the country with the football program taking the lead competing for the highest possible bowl that we can (right now it's the NY6). It can be done and I think they will get it done.
Signing Napier on the extension is also for this construction. It shows investors the Cajuns are serious about doing everything they can to keep a good coaching staff.
Yes, I listened to it twice, but could still be wrong. What I heard him say was a new 'west tower' and new west lower bowl. Also, a new 'score' board (to go with our newly renovated 'gym,' I suppose, lol), and tearing down the Cox building, and eventually EKL, etc. He also talked about new loge seats and boxes, which I think he means to include the UD seating on the west side, and is part of what he calls the west side tower. He didn't really say which version was chosen, but that will very by how much money is collected. He also talked about 'tearing down the roof' of something existing, but it was kind of hard to follow that part....I think he was talking about re-doing the east side concessions/restrooms, because doing that he also specifically said that this would not include (at this time) anything being done to the east side seating. Reading between the lines, he also talked up the hill as a good place to bring kids, so I can assume that nothing will done at this time there.Quote:
