Official Stadium Construction Thread šŸŸ

Meanwhile, I’m having to delete references to our scoreboard being powered by Windows 95 off the stadium wiki page…

The software that powers the scoreboard is [[Windows 95]].

FYI…

All these fine folks also taking the second half of June off? I vaguely remember something important is supposed to happen this week, technically on Saturday.

I mean I’ll give the AD hell when deserved - which lately has been quite frequently - but do we not expect them to take vacations?

The whole department? At the same time? I get Summer is when it’s best to do these things but is it too much to ask that at least ONE PERSON have a hand on the tiller at all times? To me it currently seems that interns are running the place on cruise control. How hard is it to say ā€œwe’re installing a new scoreboard, here’s the detailsā€, ā€œwe’re installing new videoboards in Halton, here’s the detailsā€, ā€œwe’re officially joining the AAC this week, get HYPED!ā€?

There’s a shit-ton of folks on that Staff list that have ā€œADā€ in their title. They can’t all be off this week, right?

Who said the entire department was off? Because he listed his secretary for inquiries? It’s probably so she can appropriately route the requests. I actually do the same sometimes.

I’m saying it LOOKS like the whole department is off, not that they actually are.

Go look on Charlotte49ers.com. Every ā€œnewsā€ item there is from the individual sports, nothing from the department itself. So at least the teams themselves care.

^^^Correction: There’s one ā€œgeneralā€ topic on the website, about an executive associate AD joining some program (major news there for the fanbase I tell ya!}

Not one recent item about the AAC move.

I can see how a poorly ran AD could let facilities upgrades fall through the press release cracks, but we are MOVING CONFERENCES THIS SATURDAY!

Not one recent article on it.

Go to Twitter and look. One tweet on AAC, a retweet from the conference.

Go look at the other 5 new AAC school’s stuff and let me know if they also are ā€œtaking June offā€.

I just want to see signs of life from the Halton Salons at this point.

I didn’t mean to imply they couldn’t take vacations. I just wanted to let people know that Mike appeared to be on one right now.

He did reply anyway and said there would be a public release about it soon.

I wanna make it clear that I don’t have an agenda or an intent to bash the A.D. or anything like that. But when they do things that don’t make sense to me, I will question them. I’ve been pushed out of the inner circle for doing it in the past, but I don’t care. It’s still my time and my money, and I just don’t do the suckup thing in general. It’s not me.

If Mike gets the job done, I am all for supporting him. I’m not looking to tank anyone’s career or be a pain in the ass. I just want results.

Well hot damn! We’re going to get interesting content someday!

I wouldn’t be surprised if Hill being out of the office hasn’t put the department intoā€¦ā€œstandby modeā€. Happens everywhere when the chief is gone.

Told you. 10 day coaching search

Geez guys maybe they want to wait till the damn things installed and working before they hype it.

It would suck to have to send out corrections or additional comms if the crane drops the new board or some crap like that.

That’s a fair point Gassman.

And again, I just wanted to let people know he was taking some PTO this week. I’m not mad about that.

Exactly how a ā€œstealthā€ athletics department operates.

If the damn thing falls off the building, we’re going to know whether they give us details before or after.

If the damn thing falls off the building we’d finally get some actual info on it!

I’m not mad at Hill taking time off either. I’m perturbed no one else seems to be working in the Halton Salons though.
