Except they changed the route to go in a closer gate instead of around the stadium to the north gate. That's where many were waiting.

Arkadelphia rd was completely blocked off coming from the west side of Jeff co. It made it harder to get to Legion field for me.

Have you contacted the AD's office?

Say what you want about Ingram, he's responded to most of my emails. Even the less than polite ones.

He has been contacted by many about this but does not seem interested in changing the policy.

Truth! And the more I think about it, the more irritated I am that:

1) He didn't take responsibility for the decision
2) He passed the buck on fixing it to someone else
3) There has been no follow up with the decision that was reached
4) He assumed that I personally knew whoever else had emailed him and spoke to me about them, by name, as if I didn't have my own issues with it. His reply, "I hope that ***** has also informed you that I'm taking this to the external relations team."

Translation - F.U.

I would have no problems with Ingram making minor mistakes here & there. Goes with the territory.

The stuff he is doing seems very much on purpose to inflict harm.

I'm interested to know what name he gave you.

It doesn't hurt that you send them from hotdoughnutsnow@yahoo.com.

Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone is very forgiving when you own up to them and they are honest mistakes. When you don't and try and pass the buck people tend to not be forgiving anymore and get tired of the BS.



Notice how Coach Clark took responsibility for some things that went wrong last Saturday?

When you are honest you don't have to worry about covering up your lies.

Well that explains Clay Ryan.

Haha, he did exactly the same with me. I'm sure we got the exact same email.

Watts [EDIT: I MEANT INGRAM NOT WATTS] mentioned your name in his response to my email, just the first name.

Hold on...WATTS?! I'm guessing/hoping that's a typo. Either way, this whole thing with mentioning me personally in emails, especially to people who do not know me, ticks me off.

Wait, I was wrong. Mistyped and didn't proofread. That was Ingram, NOT Watts (who didn't respond).

Ingram mentioned your name in his response.

Watts is using Ingram as the fall guy for doing all of this.
He can allow Ingram to do this & act ignorant.
Same thing BOT is doing with Watts.

For 400K a year I'd consider taking a bullet for slim Porky Ray......

I said consider.

Well FRW is taking 800k

$865,000

Isn't that about 30% more than what the BOT said UAB could not afford to pay Jimbo Fisher to be our FBHC?

Can't remember, but maybe the offer was around $750,000. Don't wish to pull out the calculator right now.

$600,000 in 2006 dollars, or $742,870 inflation-adjusted.

Fire Ray Watts.
