TIGUE UPDATE?

I imagine it can't hurt

Question:

Would it be beneficial or detrimental to contact those in the media via email, twitter, instagram etc etc asking about updates or pictures of the upgrade?

Should we email KATC and KLFY? Should we hit @tigue up on twitter? Should we hit up the media members on twitter and whatnot? Would it help?

I don't think so since they want you the reader to follow them. They are interested in driving traffic to their work, so why not?

I have been doing this for weeks. As Cajun T said earlier, they need names to be able to print. Those media guys are chomping at the bit to get the story. They are hearing the same things many of us are being told and in some cases can slightly confirm. There's plenty of smoke here. In my opinion, the gag order is the biggest teller.

I've been saying we were up a doo doo creek for a while now. When the biggest contractor lines up ONE piece of equipment and gives you a po for roughly 4 days......you know something's up.

This stinks like a porto-let gentlemen.

The point here is that one NEVER lets out construction bids until all the money [whether cash or financing] is secured. I am not entirely certain how the public bid law works for universities, but it may actually be illegal for the university to grant a construction bid without having all the money secured.

Not saying it is, because I have not done the research; just that it may be.

Maybe some research is in order prior to calling local college administrators possible crooks.

FACTS: The stadium had a projected start date. Weeks have passed and the planned construction has not yet started.

QUESTION: How is asking, "Why hasn't the construction begun?" calling anyone a crook?

Print would be better, there's only so much you can cram into a 3 minute sports segment...and this might just be the sports story of the year in Louisiana. How an administration and a AD screwed the pooch, promised the moon and stars, fabricated the current situation, knew it, and then allowed it to be promoted on ESPN (not that they could stop it...) all the while knowing they weren't even close to the monies needed. Papers in general (I've been told this by news types) do a better job disclosing freedom of information act "information" because they aren't slaves to time like broadcast is. Besides, when have you known KLFY, KATC, or KADN to do anything to upset the status quo at UL?

I don't know about the TV stations, but we currently have some radio personalities and beat writers that have no allegiance to anyone in Martin Hall. If the story is there to be had, it will get reported.

In my opinion, if this story gets into the media, Farmer is gone.
