@CousinRicky What are your thoughts on the article?

I've been in the minority on here about an OCS all along. Seems like a lot of money to me. If they are going to build one I guess you may as well go all in and build a nice one. But I've been to games at SMU, Tulane, Memphis and to a lesser extent ECU where the stands are empty when the teams stink. Don't remember if the bond payments are every 6 months or yearly but that's a lot of beer and hot dogs to pay your $200m over 20 years. I know there are tickets, advertising, etc.  I'm just pretty conservative financially. Other than houses I've never borrowed for cars or anything else. When we save up enough money then we'll buy stuff.  Old school thinking who learned from parents that went through the Depression I guess.

Yes, there is a fund for the Stadium. @Jim Johnson has been making monthly payments toward this fund.

Please let me know if you'd like to make a gift toward the Stadium and how I can assist.

Whoa.

I missed that too.  We have money raised here I need to send you.  

Also, no need to be public, but I don't know if I am giving to a stadium.  I think to Bulls Club.  I need counsel.

Not to play my hand to Trip's favor, but I apparently have a reading comprehension issue.  I thought the last big change with the Golden Brahman Club indicated there would not be a stadium fund.  Hence I pulled down our fundraiser.  

Personally, I'm probably doing Bulls Club annual fund, because that seemed to be the fav at the time.

I try to be as subtle as possible ......... but subtleness is not one of my strong suits.

Congrats Jim, way to go!

Seems to me a search is strange.  Why wouldn't it be in the drop down?
