TIGUE UPDATE?

Man you are messing with a classic RP meltdown... Duck for cover. Your intelligence.... nay nay... your sanity will now be called into question. You will be told you have no vision... that you are an apologist...

What did i miss???

The truth?

[IHateLaState]

You're right. But once again, getting a $14k loan was NEVER a part of the plan. The fact that they're even trying to secure that loan shows gross negligence and at best, a misleading of mega donors.

For once we agree.. A $14 thousand loan is not going to get this done..... Who is responsible for this. I want his head

Cajunhawk was right. You missed your humor objective.

We are going to borrow 14 million dollars in this political and fiscal environment in this State to renovate a baseball stadium.....T Joe best break out his fire resistant suit.

if it's borrowed, it isn't tax payer funded, or is it? isn't that the usual mantra of others......

If they can't raise anything, it will have to come from the Athletic budget...which means less to pay coaches, less to travel, less of everything. Such ____ poor planning has to be grounds for termination, but we all know...extensions are on the way. Every man a king.

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.

Don't ever agree with me.. ever. Not even with attempted humor.
Hang in your pack of sheeple, far far away from me. Follow your sheppard into the SLC..

[CrazyCajun]

I understand that but if you look at this as one project and not just phases. Who said, "yeah let's demo a parking lot and take down some fencing, that will get r done"? Someone in charge of the financials of this project needs to be removed from their position.

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?

I do think the intent was to use suite sales at the stadium to offset some of the construction costs, just as was planned for the Cajun field renovations.

Wouldn't that be something to communicate?
