IPF

[smusic 00]

Schedule a meeting with the development staff. Tell them you recently came into $50 million dollars and are looking for a building project. They'll let you know what's going on.

What is going on at Pettus today?

[smustatesman]

They're building a bridge to Ford, and it will be called the Edmond P.

To all the Negative Nellies, please don't blame Turner or non-revenue sports for not getting your priorities. Turner moves when he has the money and the recent announcement on a new aquatic center is one example. Our commitment to the Men's and Women's Swimming & Diving was so delinquent as to be the long running joke for SMU athletic facilities, e.g. twenty plus years for a pool. BTW, the swimmers are in their second year of swimming outdoors ... under a tent. This problem was only recently resolved when two big donors stepped up.

As with this example and the renovations to Moody and the building of the Crum BB Training Center, if the donors are there it will get built. I suspect we will see an announcement by summer.

Yep, and you can be sure Tom Herman et al are telling recruits things like "so Chad told you about the ipf I'm guessing? Oh wait, prob pictures too right? Well thats nice. Only took them 27 years to go from pictures and pledges to breaking ground on a pool so..."

Does anyone else get the feeling the Admin is backing off their commitment to Chad on building the IPF? Chad tells recruits and parents it's coming this summer but the way Chad seems stressed over it lately, I am wondering if the Admin has once again given false promises to our Head Coach.

I would imagine he is more stressed over what he saw at the spring game.

Its funny people actually think that private schools actually build these facilities-I guess out of endowment funds-NO we the alumni build them with donations to the school. That is universally true at all these private schools. So if we want someone to blame let's all look in the mirror-(unless you have donated to those projects whereupon Thanks)

I'm just bummed that I used the donor rank calculator and discovered that we only have 1,834 members of the Mustang Club. That is pitiful.

I don't give anything and rank 746 that should make you cry. Without the Fab Five nothing gets done over there

[gostangs]

well we actually raise a hell of a lot of money, so don't know why everyone is so grumpy. There are schools that would be dying to have the donor base we have. For a non P-5 with almost no success in 30 years we are waaaaaay better off then we should be.

I clicked that link and called me a cheap bastard

[One Trick Pony]

Lol that would be awesome - but we probably give more than 95% of past living alum... you can't blame them

I guess everyone with a Loge is a triple crown

Yep. Take a QB who can hit the broad side of a barn, all day over an IPF, which at the end of the day, really isn't even necessary.

Wins and butts in the seats are 10x as important.
