Timeout on UL projects, for now

[NewsCopy]

That means a temporary delay on intended major improvements to baseball, track and field/soccer and other facilities, including 40-plus-year-old Cajun Field — home of coach Mark Hudspeth's Ragin' Cajuns football team. Now, none of those ...

You ain't alone.

Ditto, but I'm glad they are getting much needed professional help! They should have done this the day HUD was hired! Good things come to those who wait and patience and doing this right because we only have one shot at this. I'll support him, but I'll be damned if this guy fools me twice!

This is good news fellas. This is an indication that they get it. I absolutely agree with what Scott says in this article & this was well written. I am also of the trust but verify state of mind. The admission by these guys & placing this in the hands of group who can look at the BIG picture & give them a comprehensive way to tackle these projects is the way to go. Let us remember the time line however & hold the administration accountable to November deadline. This gives them almost 6 months to study & come up with a comprehensive plan that will not depend on piece mealling any longer. This is the way you do it IF you want to be a big time program. The trIck is getting results.

and all it took were some people to speak up that they werent satisfied, not just sit back and stay quiet

[CajunDreDog]

So what he said basically, is that we need a plan? Hmm, haven't we been saying that all along?!?!?!

[I_Bleed_RED]

yea this is good news to me imo. I know some may disagree but don't we want to do this right? I think Farmer and T-Joe decided they needed to take a step back and regroup before they made a big mistake. It will get done guys. patience.

[Cajun90]

It will get done guys. patience.

Lucy is that you?? I thought you moved out of town back in December and said you weren't coming back.

OK, it's past due, but Farmer is now publicly saying the right words. Everything he said is what we've been wanting to hear for a long time, and assumed it was happening. Now, let's see the action.

Oh, and this is a good article by Buckley. I think he is understanding some of the concerns, and is making an effort to address those in his articles.
