    We have spent lots of money on upgrades but what have we gotten for this. The APC seems to be a very expensive distraction. The building is ugly as sin. They team this season was given all this wonderful new stuff and what did they give us back for it? A very sad football season.


    Now basketball season is upon us and we can't beat any big teams. Our facilities for our student athletes are as nice as most but we are still getting our butts whipped.

    The ladies seen to be getting things done. Maybe we should lock the guys out of all the new facilities until they earn their way back in! I guarantee that Robichaux will have his boys ready. What is the reason we don't expect the same of Hud and Marlin? Humid gets paid as much as the baseball staff gets paid. Marlin gets paid more than the entire women's softball and basketball staffs all put together. It's time to light a fire under his rear end.

    In reference to your first paragraph complaint, I've notified the Athletics Department that you are unhappy with the exterior of the APC...and that you are willing to put up funds to make it look however you want it. Please drop by whenever possible with a check so they can get started. Oh...and they said...thanks a bunch!!

    If I can't get "ULexite" walls (white)with "Vermilion Red" roof and trim, I have no complaints about anything else.

    Imagine if someone was living in the trailer park on Amb Caf that just got wiped out, and was relocated to a brand new home in Fernewood.... And they complained about the house. Everyone would slap them.

    That's us (UL).

    Obviously we upgraded and I'm sure the facility is top notch inside, but this was a long term investment. I don't see us getting a new APC in the next 30 years. I'm pretty sure if we can afford to pay Hud 1 million a year, that we could find the funds to have a brick exterior.

    The impressive threshold effect pays bigger dividends when you have a humble exterior.

    I don't mind the look and think it will look better with signage and landscaping and when Cox is gone. But, don't know why we can't find companies to donate bricks and labor to enhance the look even more if that is needed/desired. Maybe we don't need to raise more funds, just find contractor company donations for work. Between Gerald and Harris, they can get that done. But, there has to be a recognized need first and I'm not sure it is there within the AD's office.

    Your whole statement is a lot like your name. The money spent was a maxed out and over budget. The only way they have money to upgrade the exterior facade is to cut back on size, bells, and whistles. Hud had to go out and get the last bit of money for the size and full amminities. Doubt he's getting those dollars for looks instead of needs.

    Some of you guys are dullards plain and simple.
