Coaches salaries

I don't have numbers for the privates, but I would assume this to be the case. However, I would imagine we'll be passing ECU in short order.

The point is to show we are only missing 2 things. A new stadium and an invite.

The rest of our facilities are probably better than every school I listed above.

What we are missing is an economy that is not struggling at best. Even the AD recognizes this is an issue. He loves hearing stories of what it was like in Hud’s early years which corresponded to 90 dollars a barrel oil.

Wonder what Jonesboro Ark economy is like? I recall spending about a month there in 2003 on hail loses. Just wasn’t close to Acadiana economy then or now.

I just returned from Jonesboro watching Louisiana beat Arkansas State. They have a very nice, functional, and astetically pleasing Centennial Bank Stadium.

I am resigned to the fact that our group of 16 will lose our seats upstairs. What’s bad is that the choice of replacement seats we will have at that point in time will be terrible.

Well you have some time before your seats are gone. At this point, we do have a plan or at least a workable plan.

Did you, like I did, do a serious evaluation of the typical household income based on insurance value, size, quality residence ? I don't know what's transpired over almost two decades, but in those days it was not close.

My point in bringing this up is to have a little push back about the constant poor economy excuses.

I'll admit that the Good Hands customers in NE Arkansas weren't nearly as claim savy as a typical Louisiana insured.

The administration, coaches, and team are working hard to move the program forward despite our economic concerns. I am simply pointing out that the economy is a challenge we will need to overcome in our goal of being a program that can compete for a New Years 6 bowl slot. Does not mean we can't overcome it but we need to recognize it. Recall the guy who said that the lack of money in the town as evidenced by Coach Hud's house not selling may be a reason Napier leaves earlier than we would like.

So I’m comparing two SBC regions. Not even close Lafayette/Acadiana exceeding Jonesboro, Ark in every way imaginable and yet they’re getting it done. I respect the hell outta Maggard but he’s got so much more to work with than stAte has. Let’s support our AD without the crutches we’ve been hearing recently.

We have beaten Arkansas State quite frequently in recent years and our program is ahead of theirs at this time. The AD himself knows the economy is an issue in our goals. Note our goals are pretty high these days.

.... I am simply pointing out that the economy is a challenge we will need to overcome in our goal of being a program that can compete for a New Years 6 bowl slot....

We are a handful of plays away, this season, from being in the same position App is right now, competing for a NY6 Bowl slot.

Boise made the Fiesta with a 19 mil budget. Wal Mart Brand MAC schools have made the Access Bowl. There is no magical budget number required to do this.

Just saw a graphic on the UH/SMU game. SMU, it seems, team includes 31 transfers. Not sure what it means, but that’s a lotta new players to get into their program.
