Cajun Field: UL's Maggard wants 'Wow Effect' function

[CajunT]

You are making assumptions, even if the money is in the bank there is still things that actually have to be done. You know, like actual work. Projects/processes like this take time in the private sector..i could only imagine the bullsht red tape you have to deal with in this crooked az state to get things done. All this talk of “not trying” is bullsht. The administration and athletic department are “trying” more in 2 years than the previous 100. Sorry if you don’t agree wth me, but your opinion isn’t fact either.

I'm addressing this sentence in your previous post, "of course nothing ever happens fast enough for the people who are watching and not actually doing anything." What are you suggesting?

That just because we cut checks..that doesn’t mean there isn’t actual work to be done by people. Unless you work for the athletic department you aren’t doing anything (actual work)

This current administration is getting things done no doubt. As far as the "not trying" part, I was addressing the "attitude" rather than the actual action. We still have people in this fan base who are laissez faire and ok with where we are now. Or they just say "We will never get there. Why are we even trying?"

And I say to them, "That is a loser's mentality."

Of course not, are you picking up a shovel or hammer? If someone raises a reasonable question, they don't need to be doing actual work or have involvement in the project. It's kind of an irrelevant statement when you consider the fact that you are not doing any actual work yourself.

And you think you post on Ragin Pagin will change those people? Takes all kinds, so what if they are happy with where we are now. Who are you to tell those people they shouldn’t be happy with something? That sounds like a lot more of a losers mentality to me. Maybe they just don’t care that much but I’m pretty sure their money is just as green as everyone else’s.

Same ones that complain about things we used to get for free of low cost? The "this isn't the way we've done things" attitude?

But im not the one accusing the people who actually are doing the work of doing nothing. Im not gonna sit in my ivory tower and criticize people of not trying if im not standing next to them doing the work. The results we are seeing that I mentioned earlier show me they they are working and trying. We sure know what not working and not trying looks like and it doesn’t look like this. Again, never happens fast enough for the people who aren’t actually doing it. That’s true in business as well.

Anyone who is not interested in our common goal, which is to progress this athletic program to unprecedented standing nationally, can ____ right off. I don’t care how green their money is.

Yeah, they have a right to be happy with the status quo. But they’re going to get called out when they openly complain to me when Maggard is trying to do something good for our athletic program. My donated money is just as green as theirs.

Exactly. Bingo.
