laundry room
We don't want fancy things (paraphrase). Won't show the fanciest things, but hey look at the laundry! Wowza!
did you calm down and decide to let the funds get raised for the final push on renovations or did you kill those like cueto killed the mets hope at ending a 30 year world series drought?
I have calmed down. I've had some great conversations with some great EMAWs. I lit a fire or two. People are not happy. Many consider 6-6 unacceptable, even with the injuries. It has magnified the lack of quality recruiting that could give us better depth. I'll say this:
1. The money was always going to flow. However, it wasn't and still isn't going to be on time (March 1). The Ahern folks are going to be making some phone calls. this applies almost across the board for everyone I've talked to under 40.
2. The over 40 crowd is in wait and see mode. These are folks that grew up with horrible KState football. They don't ever want to go back to that, and frankly it's why they've given so much to the AD. If we don't find six wins there will be some unpleasant phone calls made to John... But this is another weird thing I found, under 40, "if they want my money they can call me" versus "I've given X to that school and he'll answer when I call or else" from the +40 subset.
3. This may have raised more money. People of all ages are pissed. They want to know what we can do to attract those recruits we need to have Big 12 talent through the entire two deep. I had more than one person say 'Name it. I'll write a check right now'
I spent 32.25 hours on the phone the week after OU (yes I kept track with the billables app on my phone) It was therapeutic, even though I hate being on the phone. A lot of hey you don't know me, but I was talking to so and so about the future of KState football and he gave me your number, thought we should chat. What did you think about that OU game?
Some awesomely knowledgeable Wildcst fans out there.
