We are talking about War Memorial Stadium and members of the Hilton Defense Alliance are trying to change the subject to Grambling's football field.

I dont care what Ken Rashad thinks about the Grambling football field. Ya missed my point. I personally want you hear your full-fledged grievances about the War Memorial reno project "delays" placed in an audio format for people to consume. Specifically, in the same, or similar tone Kenn used regarding his grievances about his HBCU Alma Mater. However, you've said that that's not happening in the context of your show, so... Meh.

Go to the "War Memorial is a complete dump" thread on the sports board of the site and you will learn everything you need to know.

I'd argue that you'll have way more people engaged with your thoughts over a video platform over that thread. But, whatever.

But I don't understand. Why do you even want to see me do a video rant about War Memorial Stadium now?
You believe Earl Hilton and company have handled this situation perfectly fine over the past 6 years. It's not their fault - it's the Historical Committee and the seal lions who live in the creek underneath the stadium and all the asbestos on the bleachers.
You said you are willing to be patient over the next few years and just trust the process.

You said you are willing to be patient over the next few years and just trust the process. I'm separating my personal feelings from this. Within the A&T Community, you have a pretty powerful voice and your Podcast is getting more viewers weekly it seems. Regardless of whether or not I agree with you here or not, you have sway to help people understand what's happening. Moreover, people aren't coming here and reading that thread. Personally, this is a long time coming and they do need to get progress here as this could end up delaying other projects that may nave a very negative effect on Football and athletics as a whole. I was fine with the slow walking of this until they laid out timelines of moving the softball field over to the west side of our campus and new practice fields. It'll be disappointing if the baseball field renos end up delaying the other needed upgrades for Athletics.

BTW: You guys are so easily distracted.
Notice that there was nothing mentioned about the launch of an Athletic Giving Campaign. I told yall back in January that was just lip service and that we wouldn't see anything this year.
We still don't even have the infrastructure in place to create a serious plan for an Athletic Giving Campaign ... and this is the middle of October.
However, this time next year I am sure they will give a report about hiring a consultant to tell us what we need to do in order to SOME DAY launch an Athletic Giving Campaign.

No reason to be frustrated at all. This should be a time for celebration.

Hilton was on the Pridecast last week and said that we were understaffed due to budget constraints and a hiring freeze.

Once again, jedi mind tricks work on you guys; not me.
This is what Earl actually said about the staffing issues. They tried to fill some of those key positions but they were unable to close the deal.
