    Construction Begins on New Athletics Facilities



    This week, the State of Louisiana authorized construction to begin on Louisiana Tech University's baseball facility and soccer and softball complex, replacing those that were destroyed during the storm that tore through Ruston almost one year ago.

    Yep -

    And it seems that they have a plan in place to be completed before the start of the 2021 spring seasons

    I'll admit I've been concerned about when the baseball field would be ready. Certainly hope it goes that way. Opening day next year will be huge!

    See....I told you so, last week.

    But, I also told you guys it WILL NOT be ready on opening day next year. The administration is trying to get it ready for the weekend series against Arkansas, which my understanding is a few weeks into the season.

    In Louisiana deadlines ALWAYS depend on the weather.

    I'm no engineer or contractor, but my guess is the baseball setup is a minimum 9 month project. That's 9 months of dry weather working five nine hour days each week. I hope it happens, but completion is likely June of 2021. I believe we'll play on the field in 2021 if the state allows.

    Saying this, just being able to start at this point took a whole lot of red tape cutting. Congrats to our leaders who made that happen. It was likely some of our private Tech guys with some MIGHTY powerful ties, but WTH...let's give the credit to our AD. Maybe it will help him get hired as an SEC assistant AD somewhere.

    I wish the same contractors were working on my home remodeling and addition. What should have taken 2 or 3 months is in month 6 right now.

    Et tu? I have a contractor at one of my rental properties taking forever on the renovations. What's up with all this slowness?

    Mine will show up with a full crew on some days and just nothing on other days - not one person here right now. Added new garage, sunroom, new different routed driveway, new front porch and sidewalk, and full overhaul of outside. They are about 70% finished and have slowed down to a crawl.... SO frustrating!

    Weather will be a huge factor (of course) and you can count on 5-7 days a week, working 10 hour days (minimum).

    This is encouraging other than the weather part.

    10 hours a day? What world do you live in?

    It'll look more like this! LOL!





    And please note that women are not excluded!





    Are we sure that's a hole? 10 people say "yes".....and two of them are really important, because they are on the phone.
