Announcement from Administration about the Tigue

[Turbine]

... hypothetical

suppose we are about to play Monroe and an attorney for the UL system and Monroe approach T-Joe with a threat along with state legislators to sue or change the law so even Louisiana could not be used and if it were he would be terminated for disobeying state guidelines???

Bottom Line, with "Louisiana" T-Joe breaks no law.

If however he kowtows to the threat of a future law, they have already achieved law without law.

Hypothetically

The Cubs also had a grandstand to sit in. The construction was all in the outfield.

Wow, has the grandstand been completely demolished?

The low point will be when even the people who care stop caring... Sometimes I think that's what the administration is striving for.

I try to make people understand this. But they still think the great fans of this university are robots that just show up wearing red. The same group that's the loudest cheering section is also the most demanding fan. And when we stop caring, the UL stadiums, fields and courts will be lifeless.

Even this post about a low point and "people talking about Robe being fired" years back. Three people made that comment. And one of them only said it in comparison to others wanting to fire the basketball coach for 2 unspectacular seasons in a row. It was never a forum thing.

And even this Tigue thing... I'm still not sure that some of the accusations aren't true... or are partial truths. Jay is FOS storming off this forum and calling a bunch of us "faceless buffoons". There is a funding issue, and the damn stadium is going to be delayed. What was so diabolical in the accusations made on this forum? Even if they were wrong... or their sources weren't precisely correct... it's been proven that something was not managed well going into the start of construction.

The university and Jay owe this forum an apology. The low point was achieved when it became true that something got dicked up... and the university won't even explain the truth about it. THAT is a low point!

The problem is it was BOP that was caught with his pants down and now claims he was mislead. The problem for him and his defenders is between the PM's I've received and other sources, the accusations have been pretty consistent. The main inconsistency in most post was the cost of the project, my number has been the entire cost from day one, $16 Mil to $17 Mil. Unfortunately he was mislead because his information comes primarily from one source, the very person he tries defend to the end. And that person is trying to find a scapegoat for his own incompetence.

Im sure ill be tar and feathered, but was the delay possibly a good thing. If they rushed to demolish, then we are stuck with no stadium at all? If they had any doubt, im ok with delaying demolition....
I guess i woukd prefer a project more like a renovation than a new build so you have something, but i realuze im not an engineer, no neef to tell me the technical reasons why the demo route is better, i can press the i believe button

No, there is nothing good about this situation or the way it has been and is being handled.
