$2 million from Michigan: Let's use it to start renovations on the West Side!

[RedSkiesAtNightHog]

I am tired of the West Side still looking like an erector set.  When the North End Zone is done, it will look even worse.  Let's put Michigan money to work!

[ricepig]

Put it in some nice Italian bank's stock until we need it?

wager it against british pounds sterling?

[SDZ_Hog]

We could use it like most of the other West teams would use it. 

[HogPharmer]

On new players? Can we add that right in to the team's salary cap?

[King Kong]

It would probably cost more than 2 million to do that. When you are taking about stadium renovation 2 mill doesn't get you very far anymore.

It may cost us more that 2 million to pay someone else to play us for 2 seasons

I lieu of Robert Shields columns - your comment to the OP brings forth -

I say we take the 2 mil and start a message board named grammar-hogville. We could pay all the English teachers on here a healthy stipend. It would defiantly keep the threads on track and we wouldn't have to read through English lessons on a Razorback message board. It's a win-win.

Whew, I was afraid you were going to say it was a when-when......

Either that or we could bring back Robert Shields and pay him to teach the grammar lessons.

I hear Dinars are a good investment 😃

I think that market has been cornered. However, I could probably be persuaded to let you in on some if you are willing to invest today!

You don't have to get all abstinent about it.

My post had to have a typo or grammatical error in it 

[Razorback_Mack]

After all, people come to this board to touch up on their English. You know, they're probably 20-50 year old males that sat through at least 10-12 years of English classes not paying attention. I mean they loathed them. They just didn't care at all. However, when they come to talk about dem' hogs they want to educate themselves. This place is kinda like the great awakening of grammar.

I find the "grammatical displacement" here quite humorous. Perhaps we should call it a "vernacular parallax".

We could spend a few bucks on adding a new item to the concession menus in the stadiums ...

While I don't care about Harbaugh, Michigan, or ND, I doubt very seriously if Harbaugh was afraid to play Arkansas, haha. It was about money and prestige to them, an old rivalry that will garner more headlines than playing the Hogs.

[SultanofSwine]

Should it not be Harbaugh Meatchicken sammich?

[(notOM)Rebel123]

Thinking about stacking all my firewood to look like a front-facing Hog. Wonder what it wood look like?

[hawganatic]

Back to the original message in the thread, the 2 mill will probably be used to entice another P5 school to come to Fayetteville so we can fill the hole in the schedule.

We do need to find another Power 5 School to play..  1 power 5 Game against non SEC school.. Per new SEC requirement.

True .. however "Long said he had no intention of filing a waiver until all possibilities have been exhausted."

Didn't say he planned on it, just adding that to your post which implied we had to schedule a P5.

No, but it would be a nice down payment on the currently scheduled renovations/ "expansion" (if you want to call it that)

That would quiet down some of the people saying it is a bad move to spend this money at this time.

Buy a few Mega Millions tix.

[maggiesue]

Send it over to Arkansas @ Ft. Smith and they can use it to start a flag football team and hire the "Nutsack" brothers (Dale and Danny) to coach it and but Sonic tater tots and slushes with it.

[The Great Hambino]

We'll be playing Washington State instead.

[OLDHOG]

use it to renovate WMS!

[PonderinHog]

How about a roller coaster ride attached to all the structural steel and charge admission and donate all the money to akadimix!

[ricepig]

It's $2M, not $200M.

A west side improvement project would probably cost as much as the current project. Two million dollars wouldn't cover the planning phase.

$160M for some bricks??  I don't think people were talking about a West side club, just some exterior brick work and a bigger concourse.

Bricks? You get more coverage by using this for $9.38 a panel...

Things do cost much more nowadays but IIRC there are or were also issues with the highway designation wasn't there?
