CSU AD Fired?

Ah, yeah, thats it! I knew I'd seen that look before!
So is the new stadium still on track?
The insiders on RamNation have assured us that not only does firing Graham mean it's on track, but it also means a P5 invite is forthcoming.
(I'm serious.)
oh sweet Jesus.
From the same insider who was saying Graham's got this a week or two ago:
I thought the funniest thing was the "back to the days of mediocrity" statement. What they hell does he think a 7-6 season against a down MWC is? I'm being kind when I call that mediocrity. :lol:

| Message:You can see my post on the RC board to see more details, but this has 100% to do with getting us an Athletic Director with connections that can get us into one of the Big 5 conferences. Tony and the Board are 100% behind the stadium and this in no way shows a movement back to the days of mediocrity but quite the opposite. It is bad timing and CSU knows that, but one that based on the changes to athletics they decided needed to be made now rather than later. The expectation is that it will take some donations away from the stadium but will add quite a few more. |

An Athletic Director that can get a P5 invite? That would be Mike Bohn! He knows the Big 12 AND the Pac 12! Two conferences that have been in close talks with CSU because they are dying to get "sleeping giant" CSU into their conference before it's too late!
If they are above .500 that is well above their historical average, thus not a mediocre season.

beware the habu
Stop being logical.
The lammies have just let their fearless leader go AND are assured of shiny new digs AND an invite to the conference of their choice.
Logic has nothing to do with this.
(omg, my side hurts from laughing at today's events)
Love the soap opera in Ft Fun! As The Goat Turns! Should be fun to watch the full implosion of the program at this point. The icing on this cake would be for RG to announce we are terminating the Denver deal with them.

They were falling drastically behind on their Dee Hart for Heisman campaign. Can't have the disaster that was last year's effort.
Well, we do have 3 threads on CSU. Considering that they're our first game and the news that broke today, that's actually pretty light.
Can you imagine if we opened with Nebraska and they fired Pelini today?
Wow, this thread delivers. Goatnation is pretty funny too. I feel bad for them. The stadium that was never meant to be, Sparkles is on the phone to his agent, Eustachy is drowning his sorrows...it could be all downhill from here for the goats now that the P5 have gotten their way.
Maybe Frank will do what he should have done in the first place: Renovate the existing stadium. Work with the City to improve and widen the roads so its not such a cluster**** to get to Hughes in the first place, and then just make improvements to the stadium step by step. The tailgating there is a good time. All in one central spot and just one big party. Kinda like Franklin field only a lot bigger.
Ramnation is ****ing unreadable. The posts themselves aren't horrible...delusional but no more so than most fans, but the format of that ****show is unbearable. How can you follow what is being discussed? It's like a series of sexts between a group of loosely affiliated drunkards presented in random order.
It makes perfect sense if you read goat.... allegedly

| [FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Message: Or your head needs to roll. People need to ask for Franks firing if these things don't happen. I guess we'll find out what a leader Frank is in the next couple of days. Does he already have serious firepower behind him that secures the stadium funding and timeline? Does Frank have us lined up with the Big 5 inclusion now that graham is gone? That's the ONLY way this firing is justified. What do you have Frank?? You hired Graham, what is your BIG NEWS? We're all waiting.... TICK TICK TICK [/FONT] |
Yes Tony shut down the vet school, engineering, the seed labs, education grad programs, schoolof business, even fibers. Money and educational mission don't matter, we want our stadium full of empty seats on campus right now and you better get us in a real conference as well.
If you don't all 27 of us are going to hold our breath until we turn blue and it's your fault.
I think it's either this or nik's theory about stepping over a line that you just can't cross at a state non-profit university. Seriously, how hard is it to imagine him trying to poach a donation to another part of the university? It's even easy to imagine his own justification for it (the [program being poached] will actually be better off if this donation goes to athletics because of increased university prestige, publicity, etc).
It would be hilarious if it were something more sinister, but I'm betting it was one of the two things above, our maybe even a combination of the two.
If it's the former, this could end up being good for the school; how many of us have been saying about their on-campus stadium that we actually would support it if they scaled down to an appropriate level, and even pointed to other schools' projects that were more realistic in scope, size and budget? If it's the latter, well then it's just the goats stepping on their own dick one more time...
