I guess it's hard to remember sometimes that as a public university this is essentially a government institution. And those are always a den of incompetence, waste, missed opportunities, politics, etc. We get attached to our school, and project our views of the area onto the school. It's a "can do" area. It's an area of individuals who have by hook or crook made themselves successful. Against all odds. Because the school is so intertwined into our culture, we want to think that it has this limitless potential....since we have seen what our community has done against all the odds. But at the end of the day this is just a government institution, existing in a state with even more than the usual toxic politics, and a long, long history of dysfunction. So we have a number of incompetents in key positions...and a leader who has to constantly play the politics. I'm not saying we should be happy....I'm just 0% surprised this has turned out this way. I don't expect the DNV to operate efficiently, and I'm not surprised when this school does not. Highly disappointed, but not surprised.
I'm in agreement with you on that... Remember a couple weeks ago when a group of us were telling everyone something was wrong? And that the construction taking place was smoke and mirrors? We were called faceless buffoons and liars? Nobody would believe anything was wrong unless named sources were given?
Wouldn't it be a 14 million dollar loan?
Also, the fact that there is not a word about this speaks volumes in my opinion. How can Dan McDonald, Buckey and Luke not say a word about it? How come KATC and KLFY aren't at the field questioning it? I have to believe they have word to stand down.
If Farmer makes it out of this it speaks volumes to not only the faceless buffoons of this board but every season ticket holder and fan of this great university. Someone better say something soon because the longer it waits.. the worse it will be.
Great thoughts. I agree. For everything though, I thought we'd get this right. I really did. I thought Robe had been screwed around with enough, and I thought Farmer would realize the magnitude of this situation and for ONCE, perform when the bright lights were on.
And yet, still no public address from Martin Hall. Who was it that was emailing with Farmer?
