The first is my stance on killing momentum, the second is my feeling on taking 10 years to get together money for an ipf because we waited until after the death of the program to start the campaign. I personally do not believe the football facility is as big of a deal as we make it out to be

So the answer to my question, "would an ipf or ocs have sustained that momentum?", is no .....

what is a big deal however is how embarrassingly long it takes to get accomplished so long after the idea was brought to the public.

Which exemplifies the main problem USF Athletics has had seemingly forever ...... financial support.

Your man CJL won from trailers.  Why would we need an IPF?  If CJS is as good as hoped he should be able to win no matter the facilities.  That said,  an IPF really is needed because of the weather.

No, we need the “football center/IPF” for recruiting. The days of Jimbo are from prehistoric times compared to expectations of high school players today.

I don’t think an IPF is a “need” I do think if a decade after you claim it’s one you can’t break ground that sucks.

It does suck but there is no obvious solution.  I can point out that this Board failed to reach a 10k goal which is indicative of the fan base in general. In fact, this board probably represents the "better than average" fan.

What the heck is a bad fan?  Don't know if you are talking about people like me that are not the eternal optimist but, to my thinking, you are either a fan or you aren't.

I really don't consider myself a better fan than you or others.  We're retired and have the opportunity to go to more events than some people.
