I'm just giving you a hard time Gary.

Good luck with your recovery.

Come on now. You can't pull back in sympathy.

I would expect them to break ground on the north end zone at either Gold Rush or Homecoming weekend as a photo opportunity and to increase fund drive. Remember, the north end zone includes the new academic excellence center which is not required to start at the same time as the end zone.

Choate wants ground broken asap. Gold rush at the latest.

I wish I could be optomistic….

Just reading this phrase from gtapp this morning made my day!

I wish you could be optimistic too. It would be easier on your heart.

It’s going to be exciting to see our players gaining multiple pounds of muscle per day once this new facility is up and running. They are going to eat big and get big with our shiny new football complex.

Beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel on this. Pretty impressive when you consider there isn’t a single donation that makes up about half of it and $12 million is $4 million more than donors put in for the EZ fund drive.

Actually I think it is $6-7 million more. Pretty sure donors ponied up $4-5 million on EZ project.

I wish I could be optomistic. We are almost $5M away from completion of phase 1 money (assuming the price tag has not increased). We have been raising money for 2 years. Most of the big donors have contributed. It is going to take 1 or 2 Large donors to make up that large a difference. If not it will be another year or 2.

Have faith, Gary. I’m confident ground will be broken by gold rush. Hopefully sooner.

I’m confident about that as well.

I’m gonna go along with wbtfg on this one. Something tells me he knows a little more than he’s letting on.

Random thoughts.

At least the east-side stands will look good for the first time in awhile.
I hope they order an extra "bubble" for the temp gym structures.

They’ll look good for awhile, but rust never sleeps.

I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that.

Getting closer. I predict we have it pledged by end of June.

Unless there’s already an agreement in place and they are just finalizing the details before making public.

True, that would be wonderful!
