[QUOTE='78;n203371]Is it coincidence that the decision to upgrade facilities came only after McElwain was hired and in what appeared to be a hasty manner (the O'Dome upgrade summarily postponed as a result)? I have to wonder. McElwain commands an air of respect about him that Muschamp never did, and I think Foley listens.[/QUOTE]
I understand the O'Dome upgrade postponement would have occurred regardless based on the contractors involved. I'll give JMac some credit for pushing the issue on football faciilities, but I believe the O'Dome siutation is just a coincidence of timing and trying to get things done on a cramped campus.

That article was written by Edward Aschoff. Isn't he the guy that started at The Gainesville Sun before being hired by ESPN? Seems like he's always been pretty good.
Yes, he was good here, that's why ESPN picked him up. Always a good read. I try to watch for Gator bias, but he seems to keep a fairly even view of SEC goings-ons.
