Posted: Thu Dec 11, 2014 9:50 amI got one and am not by any means a big donor. (Would love to be) They are wanting to raise $500,000 very quickly to update offices, meeting rooms etc. I like the idea. Hope we are successful in the endeavor.

Re: Interesting Letter
Posted: Thu Dec 11, 2014 9:58 amI got it as well. I like the idea. Capitalize on the momentum of Coach Morris's hiring.

Posted: Thu Dec 11, 2014 10:24 amno the last update was not just locker rooms (and a players lounge). They changed and updated the entire entrance to the football offices (looks nice), and offices, plus team and position meetings rooms, and a few other things. Team meeting room was turned into a concert style ... curved, row by row elevation (nice). Ok, come-on ... there has got to be a JJ "we need nicer meeting rooms joke in here".

Maybe they are going to de-stripperize the look of the locker room.

I can tell you this. I have been in the Clemson looker room ... SMU is equal to it IMO. Now the Clemson S&C facility ... wow.

Posted: Thu Dec 11, 2014 11:17 amPretty standard to send out donation asks in December, just before the tax year ends. It's when lots of people are make donations.
