A 26 page thread means we are freaking out.

A 26 page thread means we are freaking out.

30 pages is always the over/under for a great thread on RP

First and foremost, sorry for saying "shut up" the other day. Just frustrated with the misinformation. (not an excuse, anyway, sorry). You didn't deserve that. My bad.

Out of Farmer's mouth was the 3 million dollar figure. That is not a rumor. C4L's post that started the bigger reaction about the $2 Mil donor was rumor, a rumor that has still not been laid to rest, despite the email that was posted. The folks responsible for the origins of that rumor have no denied the claim of money being withheld. Anyway, before that post happened, you saw credible employed personnel of subs for Lemoine giving us hard data, timelines and reasons for inaction. Hardly rumors. If people are still believing there's nothing going on, even though we haven't done a thing of substance to the Tigue over a 250k pledge, you guys aren't paying attention. Farmer flat out lied to a room full of people.. (This is not the first time he's done so btw).

Look at the timeline.
Look at the explanations.
Look at the inaction.
Look at Farmer's history.
Look at the money.
Look at the silence.

No where in the plan for Tigue renovation was their any clauses for taking out a loan to fund the project. If we were so prepared for this thing, why are we having to go to the board to approve money from the "auxiliary" account. Why are donors ____ed off? Where Farmer to comment?

MAT, just for what its worth, Crawfish is solid, really solid. If there is one person here that asks questions without an agenda its him. I chuckled when you told him t "shut up"... Glad you made it right. Your a good dude, same as C-Fish.

Carry on

I know. I remember meeting him at the TG. Felt bad when I went back and read it. Had a couple that night, and honestly didn't look at the handle. Again, my apologies crawdad.

If the new grandstand is not complete by the 2017 season, this will be a complete and utter failure and egg on face. Someone (Farmer, presumably responsible) should lose their job over this. I'm p i $ $ ed. This has been dangled over our heads since 2004 - but never this close to actually happening.

I'm p i $ $ e d. I'm mad. I'm disappointed.

ONLY legitimate solution - new Tigue - new Grandstand completed before the 2017 season.

GET TO WORK!

Farmer is still in the "silent" phase of this project evidentally

That'll change with a brief released statement late Friday afternoon, I'm sure.

seems the contract was always a two phase project. gotta admit i never heard anything about a two phase project being completed for 2018. never heard on any coaches show, or any guest show with jay or bitter a two phase project.

its almost as though the contract was changed, or maybe two were signed with one taking precedence over the other depending on certain things being met. i do know that over and over again i predicted that the baseball team would not be playing at the new tigue in 2017, surly hope my fears are still not correct. i can only believe it is a money issue or robe would have explained that this was a two phase project.

At the Diamond Club meetings this past season, the building of the new stadium was discussed on numerous occasions. Tony never once mentioned anything about it being a two phased project! He is (was) aware of the fact that his team may very well have to play on the road early in the season more than usual, due to the possibly that construction would not be finished in time for the start of the 2017 season, but he never mentioned once that only a partial remodeling of the stadium would be done in time for 2017.

If true, this is starting to smell real bad!!

Yeah, this is the first any of us hear about 2018. The ugly might be just starting...

Thanks Zeebart. Looking at the Lemoine site, I see now there is something to the whole deal. I had hoped it was not true, but I still am hopeful it gets done. It does sound like the old grandstands will contiunue to stand for another season though. I hope they do not lose Robe in the process of all of this BS.
