Well we probably land another camp in Texas and this one dries out and turns to dust. No big thing.

wish the practice facility in Frisco would be done in time for a camp, would be a perfect spot.

Yep, CBB said as much the other day. Pressure from Big Brother caused aTm-Commerce to pull out.

Same thing happened with camp planned in Louisiana. Some high level folks in Louisiana didn't want it to happen.

They were planning one in south Louisiana, may have been in New Orleans. CBB said it got shot down by folks in Louisiana that didn't want it to happen. I'll try to find the article again if I can.

ETA:

Bielema, speaking at the annual L'Arche football preview banquet in Mobile, Ala., on Thursday, said his camp plans have had to be scrambled or scrapped in some instances because of competitors. "We were in a partnership with a school in Louisiana to go in and do one in New Orleans, but certain people in Louisiana didn't want to see that happen," Bielema told AL.com. "So all of a sudden that was removed. "We were going to do one in Dallas. The team we were going to do one with in Dallas was part of a [university] system that had a big brother that eliminated the possibility of that happening. For a month and a half, I'd been planning to do it. It was basically eliminated overnight.

Sad to say but Bert may not be able to hang w/ the big boys.

Just find other partners... don't be bullied around.

Time may be the factor that eliminated finding a replacement partner. He'd been working a month and a half on the Jerry World deal.

I am assuming that you HAVE to partner with someone local to have the 'camp'? Otherwise Jerry could just say 'screw you, we're having it anyway...'
