In an intelligent way :!:

When you try the same thing over and over again with the same result being losing the recruit to
Big Smelve or elsewhere because of the above + a lot more, expecting a different result, its
called insanity :!: :!: :!:

Fry, Cavan, Bennett would agree :!: :!: :!:

I sincerely doubt that jj has really tried to recruit many prospects that are recruited by b12, b10,pac etc. look at who our recruits get offers from. usta, ntcc, etc. hardly the cream of the crop, and even then he loses some to those fcs schools.

How do you know that we were going after better players and losing them to Big 12 teams etc? I think we should go after the best players along with the secondary players. That is how Houston got Greenbury. Try for the best realizing that you can always fall back on the guys with no offers.

By the way, we were going to build an IPF but Coach Jones did not like the location.

To answer the original question, we've come full circle. For $2m/yr, June has brought us back to 2006 (almost). 2006 was actually better.

not bad- 10mil+ for a round trip ticket and it wasn't even first class.

I can't suffer through another year of JJ. That is, I cannot put my family through another year of my anger and frustration every Saturday to support a program not trying to win at the level I require. I will see you in moody, not Ford

You have the ability to request them to direct your donations for basketball only.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe donations made to MC are not allowed to be sport specific. I thought they went into a 'general' fund supporting all sports programs. Therefore you can't specify that you want your donation to go to one specific sport.

I believe you can designate if you want. Example would be donating specifically to help pay off the Moody renovations.

thanks for the info. didn't know that. I think it used to be different. i.e. I could not designate my funds to go to wbball and nothing else.

I think it might be for projects only which there are probably many that are not football related.
