Heery Report

Go Tigers......

Yes and consultant also convinced Lakeland that a 1/2 cent sales tax would build a school system. Consultants package spending money to justify the money spent to hire them.

I want an OCS but first we need a faithful fan base to support it more than a repackaged report.

How about providing free bus service to all of the students from the campus to the stadium? Make it an event and drive the students up to the front gate. The students will make it fun and encourage others to follow.

Been done.

someone write a check

were going to need a lot more donors and more money before we get an OCS....this puts our fundraising in perspective under our past leadership as well as our fans being able to or wanting to give money

No kidding --- someone start a thread about that dude who played PG for the Tigers in the 70s and is a billionaire.

site and parking are no problem....funding? if we put. nickel tax on every on campus thread that a certain one note poster starts, we could have a thousand dollars to get it started...

Vision, strong leadership, and no ussypays and it can be done. Or constant nasal whining about what can't be done achieves just that.

An on campus stadium would be awesome.

If I win the lottery, consider it done. Otherwise, it's not happening.

Not quite..it's the wife's family's money....tied to some little-known big-box discount retailing chain.

Hopefully one of these days Bostontiger will become a billionaire and put his money where his mouth is. But since he lives in the People's Republic of New England I doubt that's happening anytime soon.

Yawn. Has anyone got a count on how many threads the big 3 have and which one leads? Might be fun to keep a running tally.

IT'S TIME TO MOVE OUR ACTIVITIES TO ON-CAMPUS FACILITIES!. We need to get an on-campus stadium and basketball facility in the university long term plan - an it needs to be done now! I'm with GA on this one.....

The Tigers have had about 30+ years of opportunities to make it to the Liberty Bowl and have yet to qualify. New conference, new places to go, let's move on.

i think that their champion when they are not in the playoff. if we have a team in the AAC that goes 12-0...there would be a good shot in getting one of the 4 spots in the playoff scenerio

It's been awhile since I've seen this thread. I think I'm gonna start "Garcia-Simpkins".

We make it to the Liberty Bowl stadium about 6 times a year - and pay our way and the way for the Liberty Bowl game and other events to have a place to play - off our backs. It's time we say no more, build OC facilities and let the city, the Liberty Bowl org and any others needing a place to play to foot the bill for their events.
