Announcement from Administration about the Tigue

Fortunately we have you, BJ! Thanks for all you do

Not taking any credit for Coach Robichaux coming on the show Zee, it was his decision to make. Others like Luke Johnson and Buckley are trying to get answers, but have been stonewalled. Luke Johnson let his opinion be known today on Bumper to Bumper when he stated, "I'm in the business of information and apparently they are in the business of not giving any!" That speaks volumes in my book.

"I'm in the business of information and apparently they are in the business of not giving any!" That speaks volumes in my book.

"Silent Phase" takes on a whole new connotation.

Hopefully i dont sound like too much tin foil, but is there a possibility, even as small as ten percent chance, that the fact the contractors have lswho ties could lead them to have caused these problems instead of the admin?

without BJ, we would be left with a lot of conjecture period. I worked for the university from 1991 to 1999. trust me, its a kremlin, soviet type atmosphere. Man we are falling behind the 8 ball in so many things and losing fan support like never before. Most of us expect nothing but a 7-5 season in football at best. We will suck in basketball. We have only our spring sports to hold our head high on and T-SLOW and Framer is destroying that. Dark days ahead as I know for a fact after several calls today that donations are down. All in all that is a necessary evil. POWER OF THE PURSE is all we have.

im sure there is much of it at the flagship of this state, but im sure I will be accused of putting the tin-foil back on when I ask, why are they made of Teflon, and their acts never get reported. it is truly unbelievable.... good video on dave Schultz site about the civil war movie.

Wow, not sure what thread this belongs in, but it almost seemed prophetic. I guess the cd salesman didnt play football

No... What? You think they would purposely sabotage a $17 million project because of who they root for or where they went to school? What is wrong with everyone? This isn't a conspiracy... Our AD is an incompetent schmuck... Is that really so hard to believe? He has given us plenty of examples of that

Thanks. And thanks for the link; I just listened to it. I know I will get blasted for saying this, but it sounds like things are progressing....not as fast as we hoped or needed, but the delays all sound like typical construction issues. I did not detect any concern about the project not getting funded, or delayed due to that issue, or because of the lack of the NTP, etc. Like others have said, maybe he wouldn't have....but i just have doubts about that....he is too honest a person. He could've dodged it pretty good if he wanted to and not given as much details as did. Just my opinion.
Not that there arent questions to be answered by SF and the admin. A lot of questions.

Have to say he's been giving the schedule for months. If it's delayed I think it wasn't from the planning side (Tony, architect, contractor).

I did notice that Lourdes Park has been taken down and the construction fencing takes up much more area.

Ok cc.... Calm down. I wasnt disagreeing with you, the two possibilites are not mutually exclusive.

I'm very calm...but this is business, big business... To suggest a company would purposely sabotage a project that would put a few million bucks in their pocket because they have lsu ties is pretty irrational... Pretty damn tin foil hat... Even for you. It's business, they provide a service... You pay them for the service. We don't have the money, we don't get no service.

But theoretically, we have seen another business donate 20 mil to their alma mater, so not all businesses save all profits, some donate back..... a delay here coukd be equivalent ( or in lieu of ) to a five mill or so donation on behalf of the flagship.... Hopefully not, i just asked is it possible

[31Ragin97]

But both could occur, farmer could have screwed it up and the other could be still true
