Baseball Stadium Project Started

[okiealdawg]

Well, remember...Bruce considered baseball a throw away sport at Iowa State. He turned it into a club sport. And one of his great money saving ideas at Tech was to do away with fall baseball. Can somebody remind me why we keep him around?

I wish I knew why Bruce was still around too?

On Friday, 12/14, I saw where they poured concrete. Picture updates anyone??

Looks like you are posting the thumbnails from your photobucket acct. Here's the fullsize.

Ok, you're correct. What do I need to do to do the full size image?

Edit: Ok, I think I've figured it out now. Will post larger pictures in the future.

Bruce must not be involved with this project.

Coach Sim has always done a good job getting off his tail, rasing money and completing projects - might be a good choice for AD

Not true - Bruce has been involved. It is a $450,000 project of which $325,000 in cash was personally raised by BVDV - $250K allocated from one $1mm gift secured by BVDV, $50K from a long-time Monroe area alumnus and $25K from an out-of-state donor who has a relative n the baseball team. The remainder is made up of "in-kind" donations coordinated by John Allen. You guys should really know facts before you start posting your opinion as a fact.

Bvdv had nothing, nada, zilch to do with securing any of that money. You know that.

Sir, you would be correct! Now BVDV did get to meet couple of them as he was trying to get money for other needs in Athletics as well after they had already come forward to help Baseball out, but BVDV did not go out on own and find these folks. He will welcome them, but he does not go out and find them.

You are truly clueless about this project...Bruce told you a lie, but that doesn't surprise me...maybe he raised the "lions share" of it
