TIGUE UPDATE?

[anhil8tor]

Don't be confused, they only have 3 million.

I believe the 5 mill was $1 mill a year for 5 years.

Discover card brah

Can we use the points to build the Cajun field upper deck?

[Dad04]

He will get his stadium. As it was proposed. Seems like most everyone is in agreement in that point....the issue is how it will be funded, and how SF has handled the whole thing.

This project, and Robe and the baseball program, has far too high a profile for it not to go through.

The program has national profile. Fumbling on the one yard line would be a YUUUUUGE setback.

"The budget for the baseball project will not exceed $10 million, Farmer said."

This was published in the advocate by Luke Johnson April 2015

There were three sets of plans drawn up with Dr. Savoie's approval, one with everything Coach Robichaux wanted which would cost $21 million, the first set without the brick façade and a few other amenities for $10 million and another with the brick façade around the entire grandstand and bleachers for $17 million. All three were revealed at the fall Diamond Club announcements long after April. Not sure were you've been during that time, but Dr. Savoie approved the $17 million plans or at least that is what I understood because the $10 million did not include the brick façade. If I'm wrong someone can correct me.

Man....would it really cost $7 million 'just' to have a brick facade? That blows me away. Also, I hope the final product will allow for the $4 million that Ribe is not getting.
Which brings me to what really blows: are they NEVER going to end the 'silent' phase, and reach out to us regular folks?

Are these plans available for public viewing? It baffles me that the University keeps this stuff close top secret. You have to go to the diamond club 8:30 meeting with an armband from artwalk to get in

Put the most impressive and ambitious set of plans in the newspaper, and tell fans and students that "this is what you can have if you forknow over some dough"

[Dad04]

The lost donor has nothing to do with life's ups and downs. It's all about Farmer and Savoie lying about RCAF independence. Let's keep on topics.

I'm trying to keep up....

EXACTLY!!!! They will never get anything if they don't ask! So incredibly baffling and f-ing frustrating how we continue to shoot ourselves in the foot. Someone should really ask why they gone to the public yet at the next diamond meeting. No reason why they shouldn't have done something very similar to what you proposed.

[Big Buds]

Were the two previous AD's, Walker & Schexnaildre, as inept as Farmer? If everything I'm reading and hearing is true, and I've done my due diligence and asked around, there is no reason to keep Farmer for the start of the school year.

Unfortunately the final Diamond Club meeting was in May.

I wouldn't say he's inept. Incompetent at times (ie. failing to secure our 3rd tier rights), yes. But he is good at what he is here for, keeping the status quo and feed everyone else bs to keep the boat from rocking. It's evident by the number of people that come to his aid that he was better than the best used car salesmen.

But we are Ragin Cajuns not Troy or La Tech. We don't need a used car salesmen to feed us BS. There is a huge and loyal fan base that need someone with vision. Someone with Elon Musk qualities that can take on the system. We want someone to make us a Tesla. Not someone that's gonna repackage us as a Kia and try to sell us as a cheaper BMW alternative.

[angeleast]

I agree 100% with ya here brother. But deaf ears is a mofo

[CajunDreDog]

So we need $21M and have $3M....seems about right! I see no flaws in the plan.
