they already have the wsc on there, too, which is cool.




that's a waste of $40

I'm with you.. It looks like a party napkin.

Was just about to order the matted and framed version, then remembered Currie was going to make this obsolete in 5 months.

Blackcats, seems like you're ITK.. any more details to the grumblings you've mentioned?

Two large donations that will each have their own on-field presentation (not sure which games).

Is that only in regards to the hotel, or is there something else in the works?

I'm not ITK at a CaptianC level. What I'm hearing, from more than one donor, is we have some lead gifts to do something, but for what depends on how much we raise in the next couple of months.  :dunno:

I've heard too many things that are on the table to suggest what they may be.

The hotel is separate. No 'donations' for that. It's simply a business transaction.

I was a little worried about how the crenulations would look on top of our town hall, but I drove by today and they look pretty damn good.

Shitty, or no, camera in your smart phone?  Those of us that are an 8 hr drive from MHK would like to see the crenelations also.

Some hicks from Tennessee who are working on the stadium told me they have "2" more projects to do in the next two years.

I have to believe a lounge for recruits and their families has to be at least part of one of those projects.

AyoSaba is taking pictures today so I didn't figure it would be necessary.  Hopefully he'll get them up soon.

You had a chance to "scoop" Saba by 4.5 hrs and place them here first...  Not to mention, humoring my unhealthy levels of impatience as it relates to our new castle.

The strange thing is that he stopped putting them in public albums so they can be shared quickly (unless I just couldn't find the new ones).  I wonder if he hates non-gpc cat fans enough to hide his pics out of spite?

I guess we'll just have to copy+paste the good stuff...

I've heard too many things that are on the table to suggest what they may be.

examples?

Big push on Vanier, east side castle, south side connector for football. Total overhaul of the OOD, or concourse widening for basketball.

Lazy river connecting the two.

I mean seriously, everyone has an opinion on what Currie is rapidly raising money for...no one seems to know or agree.

What I have heard from a few is a push at new donors. The ones who just gave a crapload (which are usually my ITK guys) have been told there is something great coming up, the Ahern fund would like them to be a part of it if they would like but understand they just gave a bunch and there have already been lead gifts committed. The sneaky part is donors to WSC and BTF have been hearing this so I can't say it's a BB or FB project. Makes me think it's the South connector with some additional never talked about upgrade for the north side of the OOD. Benefits both. Whether has a hotel or not...  :dunno:

I would love to somehow eliminate the gulf between the back of each basket and the first row behind that basket. It's really far back and cementy. :frown: 

Also let's get rid of that giant rough ridin' tunnel and tarp.

Maybe we should lower the court about 20 feet or so.  Is there a water table underneath that we have to worry about or is that just a lawrentucky thing?
