BSFS Expansion Thread

And it's nice to see John Currie give a shout out to Wefald and Weiser for setting our school back ten years in the facilities arms race.  Wow, K-State was run by a bunch of buffoons in the 2000's.

I'm not sure Currie should be given a ton of credit for simply asking alumni for money. I mean, he gets some for finally figuring out that's how to raise money and stuff, but the bar was set pretty low for him.

That's cool and I agree.

I just give him credit for not buying into the long held, endemic myth and crutch for the status quo mediocrity at K-State that we simply can't afford this type of stuff so there's no reason to even try.  And the fact that he's three years in and $100 million committed to facility upgrades, that's pretty impressive, IMO.

Currie might be really horrible at a lot of things, but credit where credit is due.  That cat can raise money and get crap built.

You would love me as AD, wabash.

It's also nice to have a Prez who likes nice stuff.   Not that Weefer didn't, he was kind of a "let them eat cake" kind of guy, he and a select group had their nice stuff, and that's all that mattered.

[sonofdaxjones]

Also a long the lines of the "let them eat cake", Currie also realized that you can't treat massive sections of your stadium like 4th class citizens while charging them the same price as pretty much everybody else.   Again, not his biggest fan anymore, but at least the guy was smart enough to realize that price/experience equation.

yeah, wefald was an a-hole

I wish we had someone just under Currie to handle the day-day coaches and compliance...*ahem* players.. You know, Let currie raise money out the wazoo and let someone with people skills handle the personnel decisions.

Currie/Schulz come from the SEC, of course they like nice stuff.

I just noticed today that KSTATEO misspelled sightlines on their WSC postcard from a few weeks ago.

It is our belief that the experience and site lines offered in these premium level seats...

[MadCat]

Wants the site lines our improved, wheel mark the seats up and cell them like hot cakes.

Who does that?!!

[Mikeyis4dcats]

that's not a crane, it's a drill rig for drilled piers.    Probably working Saturday to catch up for the holiday.   Our guys worked 4 10s but if they didn't they'd probably be working today to make sure they still get their 40 in.
