Announcement from Administration about the Tigue

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

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

I'm probably not the only one that thinks Robe would be a dam good HMFIC of our athletic department.

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?

That is very doubtful. This GC has done almost every recent major construction project (new union, football expansion, soccer/ track, etc) at the university and wouldn't risk burning that bridge.

$$$ talks

They just did all the campus construction....we are supposedly about to do our football stadium... So they gonna risk all that? They don't get a tax write off for a donation by sabotaging their own project. Lemoine is waiting for money and an NTP in hand... They don't give 2 shts about the flagship.

Good to know, like i said i wasnt disagreeing with you. I, unlike others on here, am happy to be wrong! Just looking under every rock, if it is time to move on im happy

Crazy Cajun is correct.

The bad PR could ruin a company, they want good PR Marketing above all else.

Not much chance of UL benefiting from their Co. profits though.
