GA State is a solid example over the past 4-5 years. Less about Sun Belt more about taking care of their own biz on the court.....except for tonight against Houston.....
GA State coach Ron Hunter is leaving for... Tulane.
The only way that makes sense is if he's running from a crazy girlfriend. They generally don't have the wherewithal to cross state lines, and just move on.

Oh God. Hopefully the yellow paint doesn't start rubbing off. That will be an eyesore to be tolerated for decades if it happens.
now I know the reason why g16 got foot stomped a few years ago...yeah, I did it...

$50 if you buy before July 1......price includes sale tax
lmmfao....
irony seating at its finest....
]]>It looks like, at most, 5,000 spots are still bench seating. 5,000 x $25 = $125,000. Assuming (again, conservatively) that a worker can install one seat in 15 minutes, you're looking at 1,250 hours of labor. If you pay $20 / hour, the whole job comes in at $150,000.
This is such a small price to pay when you've got women from ESPN talking about yurts and acting like Gene Hackman is about to come out with a measuring tape to make sure the rim is still 10' in the air.
It just goes to show you that Opie and crew are asleep at the hweel.

Can't argue. It just sticks in my craw that USM fans (and maybe even administrators) tried to cast aspersions at the AAC. Getting into the AAC was a pass/fail matter for USM. Whatever...
Reed Green wants for continuing little investments. Screw scale models and fancy brickwork. Get rid of the remaining bench seating ASAP and go from there.
We don't need an 8-figure capital investment project with a bond issue, we need somebody who gives a shit and will do the obvious. Gilbo was good at this stuff, with his surplus TVs and paintbrush.
The other glaring need is better football coaches, and a real AD. Opie ain't cutting it.
going to 100% chair back seating at the Yurt is something that should have happened long ago....
It really is. How much could it possibly cost? How much better would it look? You've got sideline reporters comparing our arena to the gym from Hoosiers, FFS. This is just stupid.
I wonder how many chair backs that study that generated Bill McGillis' scale model could have purchased.
