Stadium expansion.

Hiring of Manieri and Johnny Jones.

There is other stuff, I know. Just wanting to get a list going.

Thoughts?

[EDIT: I was wrong on the Manieri hire. That was Skip. Nevermind. Geesh.]

Basketball practice facility, new track surface, soccer facility renovations, university golf club renovations.

In the works: New gymnastics and tennis facilities and a sports nutrition facility.

ETA: not to mention giving Les all the money he wants for assistants.

Can't even count jones for him. He fought for "his guy" Trent Johnson. Jones was a hire by dale and collis temple.

Stadium expansion.


-Field House renovation including locker rooms
-Alex Box Stadium expanded by adding eight suites
-Indoor Tennis Center (coming)
-Gymnastic Practice Facility (in work)
-Soccer Stadium upgrade
-Tiger Park upgrade
-Nutrition Center (coming)
-New home and visitor's locker rooms in Tiger Stadium

Basically, he's been great at renovating/adding facilities. We've never been in better shape as far as overall facilities than we are now.

As far as hiring coaches, it's still wait and see.

he's going to start charging $20 for football parking along Stanford Ave, and $5 for walking across campus.

Meh, nothing much.


But I was never a huge fan of his starting from the HORRIBLE way he handled the Duke lacrosse situation.

No spine, will sway whereever public opposition goes as opposed to whatever is best for his organization.

More money, less value. Sort of like most commercial enterprises in the U.S.

Joe Alleva was given the keys to a Ferrari, and hasn't wrecked it.

I was furious when he was hired, and it had everything to do with how he handled the Lacrosse thing at Duke. Those kids would likely be in jail right now had their parents not been people of means.

I've tried to get over it under the theory that I wouldn't want my entire lifetime judged by my worst decision, and to some degree, that's worked....I no longer have a personal disdain for him. But all in all, I'll stick my original thought. He's just not screwed anything up.

Well, he helped ruin the lives of a bunch of lacrosse players at his last stop.

Other than that? I got nothing.

He has successfully made us look like whiny little b**ches for having to play Florida every year.
