After I got roasted for falsely suggesting at least UF has better facilties than FAU and FIU, I think this deserves a better look.

From Sec14Gator in the Clown thread:
It looks like FAU has better floor tiles:



15791



The FIU locker room is only a little better than ours (no floor tiles or drop ceiling), but the weight room is FAR superior to ours:

15792




This is our recently doubled weight room:

15793


Just to further laugh at the “we need to raise more money crowd” here’s another wealthy powerhouse’s current locker room:

15794


Nothing new here, but we keep getting further behind and our new super fancy facility appears to only bring us to Conference USA levels (hopefully, in two years).

The only thing our AD's office spends money on is themselves.

The funny part about this tweet is:



That is what Clown Town has TODAY. And they are building better. Even if they have to slide a single PE class in the corner somewhere and secure state funding for their building as a "classroom." I guarantee they will have their projects done before us and it will be far superior, as always.

I really think we should move to 1AA. With this AD's office, it's all they are willing to spend.

Well to be fair, we are starting a new event and will need to build facilities. Its the lightning bug catchers club. New uniforms have been ordered. Might be on TV next season.

Killer response

Is it really?

Like when we were going to build football facilties "a year from now" in 2015?

Personally, I will believe it when I see it. And I fully expected to be as absolutely embarrassing as the lockerroom renovation they were just bragging about a month ago.

You know there is a long process to get the stand alone facility done and it will...eventually. Unfortunately baseball still has another 10 months before they can tear that down. We’ll see but should be done in 2-3 years...maybe. As for the locker room updates so far it’s just blurry pictures of a current renovation but...meh...hopefully there’s a lot of work left

I know this is off-topic, but I always wonder at people who put an emblem on the floor, but then rope it off so no one walks on it. If you don't want some to walk on something, don't put it on the floor........

We were bragging about investing a million dollars in the fancy behr premium paint, floor tiles and black ceiling tiles.

Someone needs to investigate a money laundering scam. No way $1 million went in that project without someone getting an off the books kickback.

I've never seen anyone as hung up on drop-down ceilings as Law. We could have the Taj Mahal of workout facilities. As long as the ceilings are low and with removable tiles, it's crap. Lol.

Seriously, you have to tour these facilities before you can objectively evaluate.

It takes a special person to admit they werent aware that foam drop ceilings and stickon carpet squares are cheap and tacky.

Of course, coming from the same people whose first idea was to drag a double-wide prefab into the gap of the IPF, Im not really surprised at all.

Where is the workout facility? The stadium? If so you do realize there's precious little room for volume ceilings.

I say we all stroke a check to get the boys genuine berber over those tacky stick-downs.

It is in Heavener. Yes, we the part we just built in 2008, supposedly the crown jewel of our program. The only new thing we built between the 70s and IPF.

And we built it like the pool house at a trailer park. Very telling.

The fact that the "remodel" ofnthe lockerroom is innthe same trailer trash motif says it all.

Sorry, man, I'm unimpressed with your argument. There's nothing wrong with that workout room that a whack upside the head won't fix. Phucking spoiled football children is all it is.

Ewwww, ours has a drop-down ceiling, glued-on tiles and foam. How can I possibly work out in a dump like that? I need serious football glam.

Phuck me.

I love you despite you being an elderly trailer park slumlord, no doubt.

It's a cash cow. 7% annual risers. No one complains because they all have dementia. The shuffleboard court is trashed, but we have Whiskey Wednesdays to make up for it. I wish I had done this years ago.
