Chip Kelly to UCLA: $4 Mil/Year

[Marianna-FL_Gator]

Feel like you pulled that one out of your ass

I feel like he needs to put it back there also

 

[AugustaGator]

Hmmm ... you continue to say this as if it is a bottom line or something. That statement is myopic and shallow, at best.

Are you cutting 75k plus check?

New Baseball Stadium

As near as I can tell it's 116k sq ft

https://www.seccountry.com/florida/florida-baseball-new-stadium
The University Athletic Association submitted a project plan to the University of Florida outlining a new baseball stadium that is expected to be completed by the end of 2019. Construction is expected to begin in August 2018 and the expected price tag is at about $45.8 million.

According to the project plan, which was approved Sunday and released Monday, the new stadium will seat about 5,500 people and have a 360-degree concourse, shade canopy and open air seated grandstand.

1. Within the team facilities, the necessary program areas to support the coaches and players will be
   provided. These program areas include the home team locker room, film room, alumni locker room, satellite training room, equipment room, player’s lounge, coach’s locker room, and coach’s offices. Additional areas that will be included in the stadium will be the official’s locker room, and the visitor’s locker rooms.
   

If it’s 116 k sf it should be able to go up quick. Most of it will be poured concrete and everything in the concourse and concession areas will be wide open and block wall. That means most of the stuff will be run overhead other than the large bathrooms. The offices and locker rooms will have the most done to it but will probably a fraction of the overall size. Even if they go with metal frame they can pump those out quick if they don’t dilly dally. The biggest holdups are usually one trade holding everyone up to finish what’s in the wall before they close it and the workers stretching their time out.

Didn't the say on game day that the Dawgs are getting a 63 million dollar locker room facility

Correct

We should hire Layla for SOMETHING.

I know a few things she'd be good for

THey could just be using Hue to keep Kelly's price down or keep some perspective of facilities, but it's good business by Stricklin to court others.

Hue Jackson as in 1-26 over the past two seasons? YGBSM. That'll have Kelly shaking in his boots. Afraid of the next bonehead decision by Stricklin.

Speaking with a friend yesterday who follows CFB closely. He heard an interview in the past day or two that Spurrier did with a broadcaster (I forgot the guy’s name but not really important anyway). Apparently Spurrier said he thought it would be mid December before a hire and announcement was made. I didn’t hear the interview personally nor try to find a replay of it so take this for what it’s worth.

Augusta is the Knight Champion of the We Have Top 10 Money but Spend Like We Are Sunbelt Club.


BTW, it isn't other people's money motherfvkker. The fat cats who used to contribute a sizeable portion of the budget no longer do. Today they only provide a few percentage points, and TV, sales revenue, licensing and donations from smaller fry provide the vast majority of the pie.

Oh yes it is. Capital projects are primarily funded via donations.

Wouldn’t make sense with the early signing period. Love Spurrier but he needs to sit a few plays out

40 weeks is what they say.

But the money is also concerning. They had $100M with $60M going to football. Now they are spending $50M on baseball. Plus Softball was supposed to get some of that money.

Man o man there’s been absolutely no progress made. Just a bunch of hootin and hollerin by you goons and nothing to speak for by the administration coming to a deal with Kelly.

I’ve gotta find a way to stop constantly thinking of Chip Kelly coming to Florida...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[NVGator]

I'm hearing the Hue Jackson is in the mix and that they are playing Kelly and Jackson off of eachother. Hue has apparently said that he can win with the facilities we have.

Where, in the flying fuk, did this come from?

I think people need to stop listening to what Spurrier has to say in regards to the coaching decision

So many damn pages but word is tomorrow or Monday.

She was always damaged. That is probably the best part.

Dude, you would checking the spankbank for a decade if that smokeshow even smiled at you once.

Word is tomorrow ... or never.

I wouldn’t be surprised for Sunday or Monday. I’m still holding out a sliver of hope that UF doesn’t screw this up

Then we can put this shiit to bed and finally announce Kelly.
