Boone football expansion
Pipe dream that nobody took seriously. Literally everyone after they saw it were impressed with the images but didn't think we'd get anything close to that. Not to mention there was no way the basketball arena would be built where the Tad Pad currently is.

Bjork football expansion
Leaves room for future expansion and puts the basketball arena in a better area for campus traffic. Also opens up a huge parking area once the Tad Pad is demolished. His plan is much more plausible than Boone's was.

What game better than Stricklin's?

hired women's basketball and volleyball coaches that are doing really well right now.
Lol ever heard of Vic Schaeffer? Steudeman? New tennis coach is ranked. Just hired a very promising new volleyball staff. Every hire sans mbasketball that Stricklin has made has been a slam dunk.

What has Stricklin done of note?
Everything Bjork has done -- and more.

Let me ask you this. How many major programs have come after Stricklin? Nebraska came after Bjork a few years ago.
Stricklin is an MSU grad. He's married to Bailey Howell's daughter for goodness sake.
But let me guess -- you actually believe that Florida came after Freeze don't you?

Will give him this. It's impressive.

I believe they contacted him but never offered him the job. He deserved the raise he got.

I mean, outside of the Tad Pad and football expansion, our facilities don't need anything done to them. It's easy for Stricklin to do those things because the sports listed were dog shite and a turd mountain would be an improvement to their old facilities.
The Hump is needing a face lift BAD. That's the next thing Stricklin needs to focus on.

Plus, it's a lot easier to expand when tearing down the large majority of an area actually improves it.
Posted on 1/29/15 at 6:17 pm to DingDongEddieStrong
Overall the athletic programs and facilities have improved under Stricklin. Not sure how else you are supposed to judge an AD.

Your fanbase sure did taunt it when we were actually building ours. EXACTLY as the renderings showed.
But now we're "pipe dreaming" the best baseball stadium the country has ever seen, huh?

He built the new arena roughly where Boone planned for it to be built. One of my first posts on here was about where it was going to be built. I'm friends with one of the primary architects of the parking garage.

Not really. But your fanbase sure spun the shite out of it.

It's only decent scheduling if you don't get your arse kicked. Maybe this time, they'll actually open the upper deck.

Anyone with a functioning brain quickly realized that wasn't going to happen right away. There wasn't a demand for it. If we had sold out every game for 4-5 years in a row, sure that may have happened.

You're a lying sack of shite. frick you.

Have you ever seen our tennis facilities? Serious question. The only schools I can think of that have better facilities are A&M, UGA and UCLA.
And our softball stadium is more than decent. Hell I don't even think we should have a softball team because they are the biggest abortion of a program in the SEC. They've never made a post-season tournament in their history. They have WAY more than they deserve.
Somewhat taken by surprise with this answer.

Built
Coming to both the front and back just after baseball breaks ground. This will make up 3 sides of the building. Not sure of the plans for the side facing Dudy Noble. We've got room constraints there with the new baseball stadium being alot wider.

Have you seen that many college tennis facilities?

Tennis facility smack

The stringing machines and the surface are nicer than the ones at the Raquet Club in Memphis. They host a fricking ATP tourney in Memphis
