Oh! I am going to give myself lots of credit: today there is a second backhoe!! Go xxxxx contractor!

And now three backhoes-- shortens the critical path! Yeah!

At the Aggie game this past Tuesday, I thought about the relative scale of our now 3 backhoes vs. the half dozen or so huge construction cranes the Aggies have working on the new west side of Kyle Field and the Rec Center expansion behind the left field wall of Blue Bell Park. There is no comparison. The west stands of Kyle Field will be totally demolished, rebuilt and upgraded between the end of the 2014 football season and the beginning of he 2015 season. Rice's new EZF will take from a few months after the end of the 2014 football season to beginning of the 2016 season, hopefully?

Just an unpleasant reminder of where we stand in the pecking order.

But 3 backhoes is better than some artist renderings and no backhoes!

Go Owls!
