Not to worry. Rick will have an exciting series with Old Dominion lined up.

why not play in the dome? or just switch venues? instead of starting the series at Tulane, start it at Georgia Tech.



We already tried to switch, apparently Tulane would only have 5 home games next year if that happened.

I don't like it, but I think some Tulane fans are blowing this out of proportion, just because it's another frick up by Rick Dickson. They'd be pissed off if we moved it to GT this year and only got 5 home games too.

The major frick up was scheduling the first home game that early. It gives construction no buffer to finish. Should have played 2 on the road to start.

What a clusterfrick.

This was going to be the big game on the schedule for the new stadium.

Now the game is back on.

Dr Cowen probably got involved..no way he wants to dump on a school like G Tech like that.
What an pinhead the AD is.

Indeed, by an AD who's been a clown for 13 years. It takes a unique gift to extend bob toledo.
But this time, it got fixed.

Oh c'mon, we are mediocre but no way one guy is better than our whole team.

I imagine a conversation like this:

Tech: Hey, how's construction coming along?
TU: Alright.
Tech: We still on for Sept 6?
TU: Sure, unless we get some delays in construction.

Tech asst. AD only hears delays and assumes the worst. He issues statement and people freak out.

It takes six hours because all of this went down late on a Friday afternoon and tracking down all relevant parties and determining what was said is a difficult task.

But I like to look at things from a common sense POV. I'm weird like that.
