RE: A thought about how our beloved athletic director could help us raise money

There are quite a number of us here who know each other, who have tailgated together, gone to games together, gone to road games together for years. In some cases that's ten years or more. There are people on this board, and in this thread, who I know have been at the table with Ingram. There are people in this thread that I know have reliable inside contacts that they talk to.
You don't want to believe that? Ok, that's your right and your decision to make. If you don't, kindly don't bleat about how all it is is message board rumors, though. Just because you don't know about it does not make it untrue. It just means that you don't know what you're talking about and are unwilling to listen to people who do.
Have you ever been to a Blazertalk tailgate? Met any of us? I don't recall ever meeting you along the way, but we might have met and I just don't recall.
This isn't about claiming some kind of big insider status. I'll freely admit that I am far from being a big money influential donor. I'm just a fan who has been following Blazer athletics for a long time. I know some people who have been at UAB or in the Athletic Dept. for a long time that I can talk to. I know more people who have their own (better) contacts, friends who have proved to be dead on time after time over many years. You don't have to trust that, you don't have to listen to any of it... but I learn stuff by listening to people who know. Maybe you should try it sometime, you might fool around and learn something too.
I have disputed none of these things, but no one has stated anything that they could be right or wrong about. We're basically forming an opinion based on "I have a feeling about this guy." Nothing more. I don't care that the athletic director rubs some people the wrong way. That has no bearing on his ability to do his job.
To answer your question, yes I have been to a Blazertalk tailgate before.
