I wonder if pat hates me as much as he hates tags

Ha, I doubt he hates me b/c of one argument (or perhaps he does?). And outside of the Frank argument & sending a few zingers at port I'm typically pretty decent on here - I doubt he hates you either Superman.

Pat, please come hither & explain

Wow, It seems like everyone thinks Pat hates them... I am pretty sure (though I won't speak for him) that  he doesn't hate any of you --- he doesn't know you in person.  A posting board should really not breed "hate".  It can breed annoyance however.

As for the website....it appears there really is no one maintaining it, other than updating game info. No one's doing anything more than posting game results, it appears. AU is in a budget crunch at present. Not a lot can be done with operating budget. Cuts already have been made throughout support staff/admin-tech, with cuts to come in academic areas.

As for facilities. AUPepBand believes restrooms at Merrill Field are original restrooms, never rebuilt/replaced when new home bleachers and press box were installed. Concession stand is hit or miss depending upon which athletic team is running it. Some are disorganized, others do it well. AUPepBand doubts much will be changed with facilities unless AU gets a major donation. However, AUPepBand has suggested Merrill Field press box be painted purple, which was received favorably. Will make mention of need to upgrade restrooms as well.

With demolition of Davis Gym planned, AU needs a major donor to step to the plate to fund a field house w/indoor track, indoor tennis courts, basketball courts, fitness center, etc.

Isn't tuition ~$30k / yr???

Yeah, and I'm sure with you and tags here he wants more of them... Kidding! Just kidding! 

Make sure you direct them to the main site first (which I guess you did by just mentioning d3football.com), it's pretty informative!

RT: What was the request again....an XXL AU Pep Band shirt? For Mr. RT for Christmas? Still have your e-mail but don't have access to it from where I'm posting.

actually, was looking for an Alfred football sweatshirt for dad but he could use a Tshirt from the pep band too....

Will definitely look into an Alfred football sweatshirt. Could throw in a pep band tee-shirt, too. Let me shop around, will get back to you with some prices.

Ha, it's all in good fun Port. I'm not really concerned with it.

A lot of people (you included I may add!) take me way too serious. None of what is said is malicious.

Join the club. Was singing hail to the victors on my way home from the Fisher game & was cursing Troy Smith 2 hours later.

Suddenly I'm in the mood for Jujy fruits.

Sure, that's the sticker price. Doesn't mean that everyone pays that much. Plus, AU needs to gets its financial house in order. Got a new VP for business & finance who's taking on that task. AU is taking steps in the right direction. But still tightening the purse strings at present.

Well I'm not sure they're investing in over there.

If they need more financial heads I'll be more than happy to send a card  8)
