Let the OCS MEGA-THREAD begin!

[Triple B]

Would love to see this happen. Does anyone know if the people who just bought university mall have interest in making that a site?

 

The two anchor stores are still owned separately ...

[hm101]

Wasn't there already a mega thread?

[Triple B]

I'm getting tired of Taggart running his mouth.

 

"We're not exactly Alabama" now, we're "different" for not having an OCS.

 

Dude, go back to powerhouse WKU if we're so behind in every regard. We'd happily let that happen.

 

Leavitt played up the fact that we're in Ray Jay, at least publicly and to recruits. That's a better approach for a person who has no real say whether we ever make the stadium investment.

 

Just as an FYI, the quotes in that article were from months ago ....  ... and what he said was "The atmosphere you have on game days is just different on campus."...  which has been repeated ad nauseum on here.

So people should now take a look at this and realize a few things.  The mall without the anchor stores would be worth well north of 29.5m (these investors would expect a healthy profit on their investment), so tack on the anchor stores too and were are well above 30m for just obtaining the property.  This of course doesn't include demolishing it all and most importantly construction cost.   I would say that 30+ million would be better spent actually being invested into building the stadium itself rather than just acquiring the land and removing the old structures.  I think we can once and for all dead the thought of acquiring "The Mall" for our stadium,  It's the north side of campus by Greek Village or bust....

You're not seriously expecting that to never come up again, right ...?

maybe somebody should put a pic of the campus and shop a pic of a stadium on it so we could see what that would look like

He can't fill Ray Jay like he said so I guess he wants a 10k stadium that would almost look full.

OCS is a game changer for the program. UCF's stadium, lousy as it is, has raised their recruiting to exceed USF's. This is the only way to take the program to the next level. RayJay is getting old. Build 40000 seats, open endzones with minimal suites and a large vid screen...everything upgradeable. Rent seat backs like nearly all of the SEC stadiums. Stadium must be on the campus to have real effect on getting alums butts in seats.

No, just no.  

 

Their recruiting still isn't that great and the gains they have made have been from winning consistently.  Where they have really excelled is player development....
