Jay getting ready to talk Tigue

[tetragrammaton]

I don't know what these guys would have to do for you to be ready for their heads on a platter. We are stuck in the worst conference in the nation, we can't figure out what we want to be called, we can't get a capital project off the ground without looking like absolute retards, we fire legendary coaches over power trips, and Mickey ____ing Mouse every little thing because it's the status quo.

But anyone who isn't happy is rabble rabble rabble.., that's not to each his own... You're talking out both sides of your mouth

If that's your opinion, fine. But no amount of success is ever credited to the administration here, either. So who's talking out of both sides of their mouth?

*sigh*

Reminds of me of the good ole days when I had to look for the #FireLesMiles hashtags to see internet mob mentality over EVERY SINGLE MISHAP.... as if having a screen name on Ragin Pagin somehow gives you a seat on the Great Oversight Committee.....

....sorry, it really only means you have the ability to connect to the internet, and in some cases, type words.

The cost was not $10 million, that has been clear since December when Coach Robichaux presented the drawings to us in the Diamond Club Fall Social. The final approval from the Dr. Savoie on the renderings we were shown was around $16 mil or $17 million. The addition of the brick façade for the entire grandstand and adjacent bleachers on both sides was an additional $3 million. The other cost included building concessions on both levels rather than waiting until 2018 to complete the other concessions area as stated on the LeMoine web site. The original plans estimate was $10 million, but the discussion of more cost became public back in fall.

That's why I said "original cost."

Glad you came around to seeing things my way.

Brought Hud here, 4 bowls, brought Marlin here, Postseason appearances in (oh, well, it's not even worth it cuz you won't ever be happy with that either), major renovations to athletic facilities, RCAF eclipsing it's records each year, waiting lines to get into football games, selling out baseball........


clearly you're memory doesn't go back very far when we had none of our current "problems."

I don't go to corner bar anymore ... That's where incompetent dipshts hangout... And I don't have an rcaf credit card to put all my drinks on, I can't afford it there .. Oilfield is very slow...most of my auxiliary money goes to rcaf, season tickets and attending games... But you know all I do is complain here...I don't have anything vested. My Salary has been cut in half fior almost 2 years and I haven't pulled a penny....yet.

OK, goodbye.

Oh, wait, I'm still here.

[cajunhawk]

I'm hearing this buzzing noise, sounds like unconditional support for a failing administration.

I have my senior moments Cajun Monkee, they happen more frequently now, then in the past.

[tetragrammaton]

...a failing administration.

I disagree with your assessment... but we already knew that, just like we already knew that neither of us would convince the other of our positions.

David walker hired HUD on his way out, everything of importance we have had to hire a firm to do his job for him and he still drops the ball.
He almost lost HUD after year 1, tjoe waned his ___
He told Mike lotief to pack his bags,tjoe saved his ___
He was about to screw over the baseball situation for the 2nd time, tjoe once again saved his ___
Signed away 3rd tier rights
Was gonna let the APC be done half ___, HUD saved his ___
Missed conference realignment 3 times...something he is on record as his primary goal
Has lost trust in a lot of fans and particularly donors... Costing us money on a daily basis
If I came on here calling out Scott farner because HUD went 0-12 (I wouldn't becayse results are on the coach not the AD) what would you be saying? So why give him credit fur 4 bowls? Was he coaching? Did he run stadiums? He actually almost let that coach walk without even trying...tjoe had Huds raise secured in less than 24 hours.
I'm sure I'm missing a few

Monkee, I think you may have the cart before the horse here. I believe that Russo pledged 5MM in matching funds; then we got pledges for $5MM or $6MM, collecting only $2MM. Russo forks over the first $1MM of his pledge.

We now have $3MM banked, $3MM or $4MM pledged from non-Russo sources, and complete uncertainty as to whether we will ever get another nickle out of Russo, because of his legal issues.

All or some of the uncollected pledges may have stipulations about RCAF separation as a condition of payment, which could affect our ability to collect them.

So we're talking two different understandings here (and mine was an assumption based on something I thought I read on the board).

I think we're saying the same, with the your distinction being some of the non-Russo money has been collected ($2 million) and some hasn't been collected (another $2 million).

And this is where I get lost.

Let's go with the premise there is only $3 million there.

Was the Russo money contingent on the Athletic Program raising $5 million first? This was my understanding that I thought I read on this board.
