I wish they had upgraded the ceiling and gone with something other than light bars but I don't think you can argue that this is a massive improvement to our high school JV tennis locker room we were rocking before.
The sad thing is that I was told by a friend, you don't even want to know how bad our baseball facilities were and he isn't some baseball freak or anything.

Seriously, I get that the darken the room and LED tricks may be useful to recruiting, but this really was underwhelming.

I don't know what to say to the 78s of the world who don't know the difference between tile (or marble tile for some ridiculous programs) and carpet squares.
It’s just a place card until the 85 million dollar one is finished. 30 million more than Clemson’s cost. It’s better than what we had and it’s better than not doing anything at all. Got a bunch of kids coming for FNL and we needed to stop showing them how cool our trailer park was

We dont seem to spend our dollars well. Just comparing dollars doesn't impress me much.

Frankly, I could have fired four Mexicans at Lowes and did that tile and paint job for about $100,000 no doubt.

I don't expect it to be great. This is Florida. Im not expecting Lexus or Mercedes, but can we at least get Honda or Toyota? And not used ass 200k Kia with new seatcovers and Maaco paint job.

I kept hearing conflicting things from my friends. One kept saying it's just a paint job, the other was saying no it's a 1.5 mil makeover. In the end, both were right. It was a 1.5 mil paintjob.

My take too. It's a step. It's not a huge one, but it is a step and nod that someone on the chain realizes that we are stuck in the bronze age during an arms race.

They need to fire the person that did the name strips and didn’t check the spelling of the name....the players are amped about this and we should too!

I think I'm required to remind you to charge your phone.

We are going to be using this for decades. Hell we don't re-sod for decades. It's not like the kids are going to dress in the All in One for gameday and go there at halftime.

Why not do it right?

We have pulled ourselves solidly into the middle layer of Conference USA. So that is an improvement.

Alabama, Clemson and Texas have lockers made by a company named Texas lockers
Go watch a video of theirs and you will see what top of the line looks like.
I especially like the pedestal for the helmet and pads, it dries and deodorizers them over night. To me that's not over the top, but is what our players deserve.

...and like it is perhaps being well-received.

Maybe overreacting to "leaks" on Twitter is stupid?

This is a different kid, and it's an artist rendering of *Damien* Pierce's locker five years from now that will be in the old Pike House on University. It's not the locker of our current running back, this kid is still in Middle School.

Heart warming to see Law make up this much ground in the dislikes column.

I kid you not when I say I've gotten anywhere from eight to 10 Twitter notifications over the past 24 of Slumlord Fooley splitting his spleen over facilities.
