You spend that kind of money on that freaking football Taj Mahal, you damn well better use it. :frown:

Yeah, but for that $45 mil, we could buy every player a new Yukon. Or two. That's the approach bammer takes to recruiting, and it seems to be working out pretty well for them. :dance: Title: Re: FootVOLS to ditch campus for fall practice Post by: GreggO on May 18, 2012, 02:49:56 EDT I can understand getting out of the way during the move into the new football complex, but any thoughts of making this a yearly thing need to be quashed by Hart.

Title: Re: FootVOLS to ditch campus for fall practice Post by: GreggO on May 18, 2012, 04:20:11 EDT What I heard today on the sportsanimal was that the new football complex won't be ready in time for the start of practice. If the team has to use the practice field until it is ready, it would likely result in having the field re-sodded in October. The purpose of going off campus will save that expense and Hart said doing this next year is out of the question. So, it is a matter of convenience and cost more than anything else, but the team is going to bill it as a "team unity" expirience.

It takes awhile to install those gold-plated tile floors, and the diamond-studded crown molding. And I hear the museum will come complete with a Peyton Manning hologram that chants "Cut that meat! Cut that meat!" all day long. :biggrin: |
