I've known it was on the table and coming for awhile ... probably alluded to it a dozen times or more on this board in the past year.

Having been preoccupied and totally slammed for thr past two Wednesdays, I finally made my first Wednesday breakfast in three weeks this morning ... and, while the new upgrades are cool and all and are going to be ultra spiffy, we were all disappointed to learn that they are still going to neglect some things we were told they were going to correct some time ago ... like East lower and Club Level bathrooms, Club Level dining facilities, etc.

This is not over yet. Everyone is cool about it at the moment and being told things are not completely final ... but if they do continue down this path and frickover thousands of long time big boosters by not upgrading things they had previously promised they would, shite is gonna hit the fan and Tanner is gonna be in trouble.

There are some unhappy campers out here who are growing tired of being fed a line of bullshite.

So this means no more piss troughs in the south lowers right? Because that would be fantastic

Pretty sure those are gonna be gone now that they'be worked-out things with Columbia utilities to upgrade ... but Southeast lower is still gonna suck donkey balls.

Why they don't kill two birds with one stone is beyond what some of us can comprehend. They're claiming they put the new pipes in the South lower pissers ten years ago during the last renovations. (Dug them up and replaced and enlarged them.)

Worse yet is 2nd level East is overflowing. Remember, last year they had shite overflowing up there and blamed it on the city shutting down a sewage valve before the ballgame.

They keep doing things half arse. They need to do it right this time ... it's not over yet. They rushed to make the new announcement but a lot of people that contribute a ton of money, millions, are going to bow-up about their bullshite priorities that simply mean they want more and more and more money.

This big upgrade is all about money ... about charging more for shite access from the end-zones (they are selling the great view of the video board claiming it will be better than watching it on your big TV at home) and a little upgrade here and there to East and West club sections ... for more money of course.

Or you could go at literally anytime other than halftime and the bathrooms are practically empty.

I’ve done it for years

What are your thoughts on what is planned for the Floyd building?

Still wish we'd do an endzone project and add suites, club, etc. like so many other schools are doing.
