Update on New Convo

[DolleyMadison]

$88M seems steep? I thought we bantered around $65M or so on here. Better to ask for more!

Simple solution - take the $90M from Mary Washington to "Refinance Student Housing" and pay for the new convo; the extra $2M can go to W&M so they can do more than just do a "Supplement Dormitory".

I believe the DNR article that broke the news on the convo said 87 mil....anyone that has a DNR subscription wanna fact check that for me?

Woah, Dolley. Calm down with all that rhetoric. He was being funny. You made it weird.

I mentioned this in another thread but I feel the future of the Men's basketball program is in the hands on the state legislature to approve of the bonds to build a new convo. Our fate is not it Brady's hands nor Bourne's but by our state delegates.

Email your local state senator, http://apps.lis.virginia.gov/sfb1/Senate/EmailList.aspx

You can talk about the right to kill unborn babies on the off topic boards. This thread is about the convo.

Not anymore, there's no longer ANY political discussion allowed on the Zone. So chill, all of youse.

It sounds like it is in the hands of the Senate. The delegates are all for it.

Okay, so we've asked for permission for 88 million dollar arena project:

For 92.5 million, Auburn built this:Attachment 1535 http://www.auburntigers.com/faciliti...asketball.html
It opened for the 2010-2011 season. I'll take it!

So we can't have a top program without a new facility?

That is rediculous.........

Agreed, please!

Any leftist pap is "being funny", a response in kind is an "angry political post" or "making it weird".

So can we please just agree that neither is appropriate or simply understand that a sarcastic post about what some see as a priority, whether you agree with the issue or not, will be met with a like response. What's good for the goose. If you don't want a response, please don't make the post in the first place.

The days of letting these things simply pass, have past.

Guys, clearly transvaginal ultrasounds and adoption discrimination are more important than a new convo. Where are our priorities???

One bill should be thrown out and the other should be pushed through at an expeditious rate. I'll let you figure out which is which...
