Ward Morgan wants to make downtown Manhattan the Aggieville for professionals.
He said there is a 'tipping point' where people and business begin to flock to a redeveloped area. He said if he invests in a coffee shop and maybe one other business, it will be enough to get downtown to a place where it hits that point.
Morgan said while he really doesn't want to run a coffee shop, he might consider investing in someone who has an idea and a plan that would fit his vision of downtown. He said he would rather invest in a start-up that breaks even than run them himself because it is the passion, and the quality products and services he is looking for. He said people passionate about something usually higher quality products than chain stores, so that's what he wants to see.
Is it the best win you've had since you've been there?
The best since I've been here was probably last year when we beat K-State to get bowl eligible, because it was more than about just this team. It was about all the guys that had come through that didn't get to experience a bowl game and just to get that burden off them and Baylor nation.
We whip up on them if they don't stay that way. We have a hickory stick that I use. They're just good young guys and they want to succeed. They've had some success and they believe in the process. You can make anything happen if you believe in what you're doing and prepare yourself.
