If you think we can continue to recruit at the level in which we grew accustomed under DR without upgrading our facilities to comparable levels of our biggest rivals, as well as to other top FCS programs, I can only assume you live in Colorado because you have been smoking something.
Both are factors in our recruiting possibilities. Facilities to attract recruits and academic standards to open up the field of possible recruits.
AMEN 10, but this is the nature of the younger generation. The more bling, the greater the attraction. Being grateful for what you have and a better then average situation is far fetched and unacceptable. So in that light we have to find 65 guys who are so dedicated to playing football, they will accept any situation. Now are there 65 top notch players out there who fit that mold and we can get?
Must be some connection to spending lots of money and intelligence. The 537 "most intelligent people" in this country have spent $20 trillion more than we have. We still have potholes.
Wrong. That's the thinking that will eventually put us behind Longwood. It's nothing but a bandaid.
Renovating the locker rooms for the 4th time. Build a support building.
I agree. The ole nail on the head again, Spinner. And let's keep it green. We can put it in the middle of the lake and solve the space problem as well. Something like one of these:
I don't disagree with anything being said. There's obviously a need. It just seems to me that space could be reallocated to raise the profile of other sports at the University. You can't squeeze but so much into the Robins Center. This shouldn't be just about football. The RC could support baseball, basketball (m and w), swimming, soccer, etc in an uptempo way. A stand alone football/lax support building located within the Brickhouse raises the profile and support for all sports. Start the campaign now. Like Mo said, step up and support. I'm willing to support that effort as best I can, money and time.
