We're losing a booster, i.e. Bull Gator: Hal Lewis

Addition by subtraction

Everytime he blabbed his mouth on X, like just a few days ago when he dropped the Seaton $2.5 mil ask, I couldn't help but think of the Navy "loose lips sink ships" poster

Don't really care he did that myself but it let us know instantly we were out as we aren't about to pay a non-top QB 3 million dollars which we shouldn't since we don't have a crazy NIL budget like a few teams do.

What pissed him off? You need to have thick skin even if a big booster if you post on these forums.

Any of you Disney booster haters want to step and replace his contribution to the UAA?.............................................................I didnt think so.
No program can survive without the Hal Lewis's pouring money into the athletic programs.

I have no issue with big boosters arguing on forums with fellow fans but they can screw off if they think fans should be groveling to them and can't take the back and forth. I have no idea what made him want to stop specifically and maybe agree with his take on whatever it was but I also don't think fans should ever grovel to some big booster just because he wants to take his ball and go home. That booster that was groveling to Condron was pathetic imo after what he said got out. No excuse for that unless Condron literally had the ability to crush his business or something which I don't think was the case.

Also if anyone thinks our biggest boosters are so high and mighty ask them why we are right near the top of the SEC in alumni wealth but are getting our arse*s handed to us by 5 other schools in the SEC when it comes to Big booster football funding.

if we’re talking about Gary Condom I’d agree Matt

He is a wiener but contributes a lot and that’s why he has stadiums named after him

There are dozensc if not hundreds, of Hal Lewis level boosters who don’t create negativity around the program like he did. Good riddance to Hal.

Hal, if you are reading this, please consider becoming a booster for my son's tee ball team

Hal Lewis comes across as a little bitch. He acts like he's a big money booster.

No, Hal, the big money boosters are those that have names on the buildings.

Dude is just a Bull Gator ($15,000+ annual donation) that may give a little extra for NIL, but acts like he gives millions .

No lost sleep over this. Now if we lose Hathcock or Condron, then I would be concerned.

Hal just wants Thank Yous.
