Indoor Practice Facility

Postby papawasamustang » Mon Oct 26, 2009 11:48 am

Got a chance to tour the TCU indoor facility recently. Nice, but nothing special. Serves its purpose.

I'm sure the Frogs have had quality practices over the last couple of weeks using their indoor facility.

We were very sloppy Saturday night & I'm wondering what the quality of our practices have been the last couple of weeks due to the weather. Todays another example. Terrible weather.

That should be the next item up for the football team. Is there enough room for one?

Please...football is supposed to be played outdoors in the elements...and may the best team win.

Some of us that gave money to help building of the Crum Center would be likely to give money for the building of indoor facility also if we have a good plan for it and keep improving our team.

Just make sure it's not built by the clowns who built the Cowboys' practice facility.

Yea PP, I guess you have first hand knowledge of that. (I want to put a smiley face here but will refrain from doing so)

They have to play in bad weather, why do they need to practise inside?

If they need an indoor practice facility, they need to grow a pair.

The publicly stated goal of Orsini is "Top 25" in everything we do. An indoor practice facility is necessary if SMU wants to get top talent to play here. Why does everything at SMU take so damn long to get done?

I think Orsini and Jones have both publicly stated that an indoor practice facility is the next major item on the docket.
Back off Warchild seriously.
