We will ALWAYS be in the dust, We do not have the money of nearby programs. And we live in a relatively small state, sharing this state with Clemson. The past two hires (Muschamp and Beamer), we focused on hiring someone whose reputation and strength was recruiting. We have a better chance to succeed if we have a Head Coach who excels in coaching (strategy, tactics, organization, motivation). That has been our history. Hopefully, Beamer will succeed. If he does not, I have confidence in Donati getting the hire done right.

Pouring money down a stadium rathole isn't going to win them any more games. Auburn has been dumping millions into their stadium since 2018 and they are horrible. Stadium upgrades are designed to draw in more money from fans, they don't help the team in any way.

Well, they unveiled a "plan." Maybe it will be toned down a bit due to unforseen budgetary issues.

How's our "plan" coming along for developing that land near the stadium?
Not sure if this is true, but supposedly Athletic Director Donati may have suggested that a new basketball coliseum or arena is on the radar. Maybe they would be the new coliseum or arena in that area you speak of.

They needed a renovation because that stadium was a dump. Other than the "Welcome to the Swamp" painted on the stadium, it was a dump. Spending that much money tells you how far behind they were. I'll take Willy B any day.

Hope in one hand and crap in the other. See which one fills up first.
