Do you realize that the original plans were to build the stands over the existing BAC and it wasn't feasible in the end? That it now includes an extra $6m big screen, $4m worth of elevators and towers, and $40m for concourse, Founder's suites, updating existing suites and club areas, and new concession areas in other areas of the stadium?

Got to love the uninformed.......

Well put; thank you.

thats her,  I know Lisa, Lisa is a die hard Razorback fan that helps with razorback clubs in NE Arkansas

Thanks - I thought it might be.
When I heard her on Bo's show she sounded pretty truthful to me.

What amazes me is that based on past and present behavior of Jeff Long why is what she saying difficult to believe. He's said nearly as much himself with the words, "Arkansas is not a win at all cost program". Well, to anyone who can think past one dimension, Long's quote is telling you, me and every other Razorback football fan that the UA athletic department is there for molding minds of young men and women and if they happen to be successful, there's your cherry on top, Hog fans.

I lost all faith in Jeff Long when he fired Petrino (and I don't give a rat's ass about his record this season at UL). Petrino's success here led high level donors to believe that the UA could and were on the path to capture past glory, thus the money came rolling in for the new football operations facility. And a year or so later we all know what happened. No one who has hired Petrino, even UL for the second time has caught any grief, except for the small-time bomb throwers who words sound like a firecracker dud when they hit. I said it in 2012, and I'll say it again, Long was playing to the sympathy of the American public when he had ESPN all to himself on the day he fired Petrino. Those faux crocodile tears make me ill when I think about Long going to his hanky to dry them up. The news cycle then and now last 24 hours. We've had two horrendous shootings the past 3 weeks in this country and America has moved on to something else. Yet the spineless AD at the UA and most of you in that post on this message room were so worried what the country would think of us if we kept Petrino. Speak of being self centered, what would make a UA fan actually believe that the UA would be the constant ridicule of the country if we kept Petrino. Egocentric and gutless wonders ! 

And now we find ourselves with an AD who must believe we are Columbia University in NYC along with a strange obsession of needing more athletic facilities built. Most athletic businesses have a blue print of winning first, constructing fine new facilities second. "And the band plays on"


Good post!!

Of course, none of us know the specifics of the alleged exchange between the AD and radio show calling fan.  That said, I would expect that if she respectfully and intelligently expressed her concerns, she should have received at least a polite response...even if ultimately unsatisfying.  Conversely, a belligerent and confrontational approach may lead to a negative response.

The average angry sports fan probably isn't going in with calm and respect all that often.

You teach your staff how to handle angry and/or belligerent fans in a professional manner.
Telling a supporter to find a knew school to support shouldn't be on the list of things to say.

A good business knows how to handle angry customers.

Jeffry Augustus looked defiant when he made that statement about not being a win at all cost program at the LRTDC.  He sees himself as a great man seeking to bring enlightenment to a benighted state and real achievement to a peoples who have heretofore, only been able to celebrate the taudry accomplishments of their unethical athletic program.

Will this Prometheus of Arkansas athletics succeed, or will his liver be forever eaten by the buzzards of a resurgent GOBN?

That's what I am saying. If she has the recording then she should share it. If it is what she says then change would probably come from it. If she doesn't have it or won't share it then she shouldn't have even brought it up.

I would've told Miss Lisa the same thing...she's ANNOYING.  And her country accent makes my ears bleed, so there's that.

Guess what?

The BOT (full of Arkansans) approved the expansion.  The stadium is being built.  The BOT (full of Arkansans) approved the debt for the stadium.  The suites are sold.

Stop crying. Boo Hoo Hoo.

But the suites and boxes aren't all sold. The main man in charge of the RF told Grant Hall this on his radio show last Friday.

Suites yes, boxes no.  It's also still 10 months until use, so....

60 out of 70, was that the number I saw as being sold?

Exactly.  People don't take the time to distinguish the difference in a suite and a loge box.

Suites = 100% sold out

Loge Boxes = 8-10 remaining.

I love Miss Lisa. She is a friend of mine. We don't always agree, but I will vouch for her character. If she says she has it, She does. Someone said earlier in the thread about her being neither passionate or funny, whoever said that needs a reality check. Read what Webster say about passion as it relates to sports and you have miss Lisa's picture right there. Another word for her that no one else knows is kindness. If you ever need someone to hold your hand and cry with you during tragedy, it's Lisa. She has been an encourager to me through the last few years.

I can't comment on what she is doing with the recording. I don't think she can either, at this point. This is not over. Pull up your g-string and wait like the rest of us.

Yes, because her recording on an an employee is going to be so earth shattering that someone may go to prison.

And if it doesn't have Jeff Long himself saying the words, then I don't even know what the controversy is going to be, aside from some receptionist who is tired of taking calls from screaming idiots all over the state complaining about football.

"DO NOT POST IN THE GAME THREAD ANYMORE TODAY OR YOU WILL RECIEVE A 30 BAN!"--

Multiple play-by-play posters followed by "Good job, D" and "Way to go, Offense" is so interesting to read over and over as the team gets blown out and the coaches flounder. I can't figure out why game threads don't have 60 to 80 pages now.

Am I the only one that misses the old, interesting game threads?

Just using sarcasm.

pigture perfect, said "I can't comment on what she is doing with the recording. I don't think she can either, at this point. This is not over. Pull up your g-string and wait like the rest of us."

So, because you agree with me that she should play the recording, I want you to do what pigture perfect says to do and hike up your g-string.

I guess if you don't big bad Miss Lisa will get you.

In my business unfortunately I am faced with angry folks on a somewhat regular basis. It's just the nature of the beast. There are ways to tell someone to kiss your ass and make them like it and if there are ways to tell them to kiss your ass and piss them off.

And do you realize they're still paying on the renovation that took place under Broyles?

She calls in here in NEA all the time.  She told the story once of how she walked down the benches court side before a home game in Bud Walton, and was close enough to ask Pelphrey a question.   

To his face:
"What does it feel like to be the man who set this program back 30 years?"  She said he stared her down for like 5 seconds and then walked off. 

She has guts like you wouldn't believe.  Don't fool with her.
That's basically classless.

Petrino's record at Louisville should give us a good feeling.  An above average, not great, coach came in here and got us winning big time.  His predecessor, who wasn't as good, had a winning SEC record.  He fell apart at Ole Piss.

Not that hard to win at Arkansas, huh?  Sort of tells you what level Bret operates on.

Actually all sports fans are suckers. They have been suckered into buying season tickets AND paying for the right to be able to buy season tickets. They have been duped into believing paying coaches millions per year will bring wins. They have been conditioned to believe that paying for new stadium upgrades will bring recruits, which will bring wins. They have been lead to believe what they say matters, when all that matter is your $.
