Umm the point of that was that I was going to respond to the post one way or the other. You not caring about my opinion did not change anything.
This is the type of post I was getting at and is a very fair evaluation

Your response did not come off to me as simply sharing your thoughts.
Your response was a ham-fisted attack on my opinion, and it was a douchebag move.
There are more socially acceptable ways in which to simply share one's thoughts and engage in a civil discussion.
Whenever you actually give a sh*t, please let me know if you care to discuss further.
Then you misinterpreted it

See what I did there?
some stuff I didn't know there. Combined with what skiddy said, pretty much this. I want to see positive change on top of us scrambling for facilities. What's NEXT? How does he improve the situation for CU beyond the obvious and known?
Skiddy did grade him pretty high, you know. B+ is not bad. My freshman year at Texas Tech I had a 0.67 gpa after all. Back then, a D+ would have been great.

For a year. Until the sent me a rejection letter, :lol: Lots of kids from San Angelo went there. It took 10 years to get my **** together. I started at Metro then transferred to CU-Denver with much better results.

SportsBusiness Journal 2014 Athletic Director of the Year award winners announced June 9th.
SCOTT BARNES, Utah State University
THOMAS BOEH, Fresno State University
DAN GUERRERO, UCLA
JIM WEAVER, Virginia Tech
Given the profiles, the award is recognizing these AD's for some combination of conference realignment, facilities and fundraising, athletic team success following reorganization, leadership in the field, and in the case of Weaver, lifetime achievement.
if RG gets the facilities built on time, shows sustained success outside of Football, and shows progress in football, he would appear as a legitimate candidate.
Other winners from years past have included John Currie at Kjuco, Mark Hollis at Michigan State, Joe Castiglione at Oklahoma, Jeff Long at Arkansas, Kevin White at Duke, Ian McCaw at Baylor, Mike O'Brien at Toledo, Richard Giannini at Southern Miss, Jim Phillips at Northwestern.
From a fundraising standpoint, Baylor's $95M development campaign and TCU's $90M campaign are impressive. Chris Del Conte at TCU is the AD who has really kicked some ass in recent years. I hope RG can prove as effective at the end of his first 5 years.

Skiddy, how dare you merely grade him as only really good!
This stuff is so fluid year to year. Two years ago, UCLA fans were ready to run "Chianti" Dan out of town, now he is up for AD of the year.
If we start winning in football RG will look even better by proximity.
Its an "A" for me, just based solely on the fact that dirt is moving up there for the first time since 1990. That is hard to do in Boulder, and even if he had to get some help from the pres (which he still smashed the one year fundraising record without that kickin), and the regents, he got it done. Good first year.

And UCLA fans still want to run him out of town.
I thought the Mora hiring might have gotten him off the hook. Guess not.
Basketball school & Mora was choice 4 or 5 so the fans think he lucked into - no credit for that.
Yes I do.
Anyway, let's move on. I didn't intend for it to be interpreted that way and I certainly didn't intend for my post to insult your opinion.
I realized I never really gave a explanation for my rating. It really boils down to facilities and him balancing the budget in his first year.
I was stupider than I am now. You get less stupid as you age until you start getting stupider again.

:drink2: Agree. Let's get back on the topic of RG.
He certainly has reduced the budget deficit from( $7M) to a planned ($4M) in fiscal 14-15. In his state of the program comments, he expressed optimism about balancing the budget in the next couple years. He isn't quite there yet. I am confident he will get there by mid 2016.
In addition to a balanced budget, an other key metric to look for is a significant jump in the number of donors from the ~8,300 number listed on the BuffClub dononet. While RG has grown revenue, I have not seen evidence of expanding the base that is ever so important to viability. I'm also looking for material growth in season ticket sales, to reach that elusive 25,000 number. The word is that ticket sales are about where they were at this time last year.
Increases in both these metrics would indicate to me that the rift with B4L from EB's dismissal is healing.
what!?!?!? Weaver's most significant achievement in 2014 was his own forced retirement due to health issues. That list is a farce, unless this is intended to be a "career accomplishment award" (it's not, they bill the list as "2014 <insert sponsor name> AD of the Year"). Don't get me wrong, what Weaver did over his career at VT was outstanding, but he has under-performed over the last 3 - 5 years (notably making a debacle out of the basketball coaching situation).

Gotta be based on lifetime achievement for keeping Frank Beamer around.
:nod:
The crazy thing is that he hasn't even been here a year. He was named on July 17th, but he didn't start working then. Pretty impressive 11 months. Hasn't hit all the right notes, but he's knocking down the big stuff like no AD before him.
Tini, take a Dale Carnegie course before you enter the workforce. You'll thank me later.
That is why everyone likes you. It's a scam people.
Nobody likes me here
Unless you're illiterate the course is a scam. Spend $2, buy the book, read it. It's a less than 3 hour read unless you're a fusker that needs to move your lips when you read. Save time and money. Plus it actually is helpful.
