He's not a micro manager. It never hurts to inform the top brass of things that harm our university. Dr. Guice always responds and either reacts or explains why. Dr. Reneau NEVER responded and rarely reacted. He totally ignored the small things.Quote:

Thank you. I can certainly understand your concern. I’ll suggest that they look at the scheduling more carefully in the future.
This is actually a new event that our staff decided to do this year to help students transition into the suites with a more supportive and informative program.
Thanks again.

I mean, what can he do this soon before? Sounds like they'd have to reschedule the whole thing, which could cause bad blood. Though I'd call in the organizers on Monday morning and explain to them that they just lost an entire freshman class (building?) of alumni contributors to the university, not only athletically, but likely overall.
Everything will be OK. All is not lost.Quote:

I was being hyperbolic. Should have made that more clear.Quote:

Question: Is Tech's fanbase a well-traveled one? Do home teams look forward to what Tech bring to the table in terms of attendance?
Relative to what? Clemson? Auburn? Probably not.Quote:

Alrighty. You never know.Quote:
