If you were RG, what facilities project would you prioritize?

Not our facilities, but a look at greedy Phil

Facility-rich and cash-poor, the Oregon Ducks need your donations

Phil Knight’s financing plan for Oregon’s Best-in-class Arena put the Athletic Department in a huge financial hole. AD Rob Mullens needs your donations to dig out the Ducks.

Waiting for CSU to get vilified for their disastrous stadium propaganda.

Call me a sick bastard if you must, but I love the Balch experience on game day. Great memories of playing intramural basketball in that place. And, making my way to the troughs after multiple beers in the far corner of the facility is terrific!

RG, don't change a thing.

My dad unironically says the same thing.

Same! I said it before - maybe even earlier in this thread - but keep the building and update the inside as necessary. Plumbing, suites, press box, etc.

A buffalo ranch so we have a faster Ralphie. Also they need Ralphie to run at Basketball games.

Off topic, but it seemed to me that the band was smaller this year than in the past...? Like 70% of the size of the band from 5 years ago. Just me?

@RumblinBuff ?

 

[RumblinBuff]

@RumblinBuff ?

Bball or fball?

Fball was full sized, ~255, which is our new normal.

In bball, they split the band for most non-con games. For CSU and the conference games during the semester, it will be the full group -- ~90 or so.

For reference, under previous band leadership, the bball band got over 100, but that was straining the boundaries. 90ish is a good size.

The recipe for the Buffs is to not add any sports, particularly stupidly expensive ones like baseball or ice hockey.

Don’t add unnecessary facilities that do little to improve player experience or competitiveness, especially in sports not named basketball or football.

Keep university overhead low. Alumni and other donations flow to players as direct comp.

First thing RG needs is to decide what his hair needs to do! Did not look good today at the BB game. Rudy bad

Yeah, quit with the combover already. Embrace the cue ball.

I thought the combover dyed a much darker shade than the rest of his hair was a bold choice last night.

I had the game on last night and my wife audibly gasped when Rick's melon appeared on the screen.

While taking a bio break at the hoops game last night it occured to me the troughs at Folsom get disproportionate attention vs those at the CUEC.

The layout at Folsom which encourages eye contact with another urinating male does take trough use to another level of awkwardness, so maybe fair.

I still think CU should embrace what we have and maybe even market it: "Folsom Field -- it's not a place for insecure men"

Hmm…would fans be eligible for NIL deals?

I feel a “North Dakota: Be Legendary!” Photo Op/marketing campaign brewing for this.

I was in Berlin a few months ago and saw a bunch of New Jersey ads on taxis.

I wonder if we see any smaller scale Folsom improvements done this offseason. Need to capitalize on the influx of cash.

The scoreboard was announced Nov 8 2023 fwiw

First priority is upgrading the trophy case for all of Travis's hardware.

I saw Supertramp there when I was a student. The most musically flawless concert I’ve ever seen. However, in my senior years, find Balch to be a miserable game day experience.
