RE: La Techsters
right because you are doing so much at Arkansas State. Hmmm. Didn't see any of that coming. And ULL is alot of talk in the works as well. Looks like we are actually doing things at Tech. Not talking.

This discussion seems to be centered on what the ATHLETIC departments are doing, not the schools as a whole. You have scrubbed down, washed, painted, mowed the grass around football stadium, basketball arena, etc. which improved appearance dramatically. NO new facilities at all but have replaced floor in basketball arena, remodeled dressing rooms, new field turf for football, improved lighting system in stadium, upgraded scoreboards for womens sb, mens bb, and new video board for football. So what else has your athletic dept actually done other than just "talking" like everyone else? Plans, as you know, dont mean a hill of beans until the first dirt is moved. If everyone on this board laid out their schools "plans" it would take weeks to read.

brand new tennis courts, new track and field. new bowling alley. plans for new softball, soccer, and pool for diving team. Although I would love to see a whole new stadium, we all know its not feasable. All the upgrades to the current stadium will be more than enough to keep up with the joneses. Do you think ULL needs a whole new stadium. Of course not. Just a few renovations. Tech does not need a new basketball arena and baseball stadium. It got much needed facelifts. USM still has the same ole football stadium EE. So does LSU for that matter. OUr endzone project and video board will make JAS look ten times better.

New tennis courts, new track and field, new bowling alley? (Athletic dept had nothing to do with this. These facilities were built with future student assessments, they voted to pay for that.) Plans for new softball, soccer, new end zone project, and pool are PLANS, mostly a wish list, heck everyone has plans. The only upgrades to your stadium was video board, new turf, improved lighting system, cleaned and painted, which I mentioned. And, for the record, I was in the USM football facility last evening toured the new suites, new field house facilities, and Tech is so far behind its unreal. In fact, you are about $47 mil behind what I saw. If you want to talk about "plans" then I can blow you away with what USM has in the works. For example, if you want to mention parking lot then USM is in the process, its approved, to build a 14Mil parking garage and they are ready to start digging holes. Whats that compared to tech just filling in potnoles?
