UL Buys Turf . . . installs turf

[DaddyCajun]

Gerald will give me Two more calls, one when the Trucks roll out of New Orleans and another as they near Lafayette! 2p.m. is the time they are shooting for as of now. Digital pictures are being taken by the Athletic Department Website personel and will be posted there and possibly on RaginPagin!!

I know it will be hard for most to make it, but the meer fact that it is happening is the important thing!!!

11:50 a.m. Central time and 9-Ace Transportation Trucks are pulling out of the Saints holding area where the Turf had been stored to transport it to Lafayette, LA home of Louisiana's Ragin Cajuns!! 2p.m.-2:30p.m. still seems to be the E.T.A.!!!

Two fork lifts are currently loading the 9 Ace Trucks, that will once loaded head back to Lafayette and the Louisiana Campus @ Blackham Col. down Hwy 90 to be unloaded by one fork lift.

Is two overkill?

[DaddyCajun]

No Gerald said Two just made things go faster and having just one Fork Lift will just make unloading the Turf take longer, which will give those of us who want to go check it out a little more time!!

Only one fork lift? Do we know any flat bed truckers? A lot of them have fork lifts forked into their bed.

1300 central time Gerald just phoned back, the convoy with a police escort has just gotten back on the road, as one of the trucks air lines had to be repaired!! ETA 3p.m. today May 25th, 2005

One fork lift will just give Fans more time to get to Blackham Col and see some of the Turf off loaded!!

I'm not calling you a goofball but that is the dumbest reason I can think of for only using only one forklift. "Again" Do we know any flat bed truckers? A lot of them have fork lifts forked into their bed. All the lumber yards have them. Is there no UL alum in the lumber business?

Be gentle 1stTake. This is one of the most monumental moments in Cajun atheletic facility upgrades. Let's not make a big deal about one or 2 forklifts. Let's make a big deal on how this will really upgrade facilities and make us only 1 of 3 atheletic organizations in the state to have these type of facilities.

I know your not calling me a "Goofball" but, looking on the bright side of things, ONE is what they have and ALL they need from what Gerald is saying and IF they need more, YES he is able to get more!! I was just saying on my earlier post that it taking longer to unload will JUST give UL fans that may want to go see the Turf being unloaded more time, being the ETA is 3p.m. Louisiana Time!!
