UM AD says indoor Practice Facility is coming!

[wherrera8]

Those mid west schools need it much more than we do because of the snow. You rarely hear of practice being cancelled because if rain.

EITHER way, about time we get one. Recruits love that.

Yes, and no. Most Midwest schools basically where Chicago is or south, don't really get much snow, nor does it stay around for long before football season ends. North of that line, you have a point in that it may snow at the end of the season or between that and the bowl game, but indoor practice facilities are built for rain/thunderstorms here as well.

I saw an image of Ohio opening up their Spring Practice and the field was covered in snow. There is much more of a need for those indoor practice facilities up there, especially during the season.

That DOES NOT mean the Souther schools don't need it. Every school really needs one because they do more than allow you to avoid bad the weather elements. The crowd noise and communication are big reasons why. The fact that theses facilities are all decked out and recruits love seeing these parts of the facilities so spirited and lively. I get all that too.

I will say though. The 4 fingers started with us because we were the only ones that practiced in this heat and weather and when teams played us. Especially at home, they had to be ready for that. Most teams couldn't go the full 4 with us because of it. With the indoor facilities, we may not be practicing in the hear as much. Players love it, but come game day, you want to be the team used to those conditions.

Before you jump on me for all that, just know, I am all for the IPF, but they also have some cons. Not major, just worth mentioning

Tell Donna to figure out a way to redirect some of that research money to this venture and we'll have one of the best in the country.

unfortunately, that's very illegal.

The timeline I heard was three to five years for the indoor practice facility from some staffers talking to a donor. Apparently, due to higher wind speeds in Miami, the cost of an indoor practice facility would be significantly more than FSU's.

On a good note, everyone is real excited about the state of the art sports medical facility being built next to the basketball arena. They think it could be a real game changer in recruiting. I don't know if it will but just passing it along.

improvements are better than none at all.

Seriously, what for? How much time do they actually miss due to weather?
A few delay's thus far, because of the heat? Why, it's 1000 degrees in SOS on most game days...I just don't get it.

u know how many times the **** lightning siren goes off during the summers and fall? **** is basically an alarm for the entire campus

 

[cane305]

there are some steel pillars or columns surrounding one side of the new practice field.

perhaps they will be the frame for an indoor facility?

from what i heard, it has nothing to do with sports medicine. it's just a health center that will have physicians from bascolm palmer (ophthalmology) and sylvester (oncology).

Uh, Paranos. All he said was "What's next? I don't know. Lights need to come. And I've said it before, we need to get an indoor facility for football...At some point we'll have that in place."

Check it out at about the 10:50 mark. Very different from "indoor practice facility is coming." Sounds more like a goal for the indefinite future.

'Something is coming" means what that something will occur in the future. An the a goal is what, something you will do in the future. So that is the samething. Please don't try an down my post with you non sense. Also he was speaking empirically when he made the statements not hypothetically so don't take things out of cotext.

But thanks for sharing your 2 cents, and the change from your thought will be mailed back to you. It's a goal I a have!

No, in the interview James spoke about the dining hall and the medical center in concrete terms. The indoor practice facility was mentioned as an aside and you ran with it. He gave no guarantees besides saying it will be in place "at some point." Not very empirical language, to use the word chose.

I usually don't rag on you Paranos, but you stretched a bit here. I'm not saying he won't announce plans to open an indoor facility tomorrow or next week, but he sure as **** didn't announce plans in that interview you linked

It's funny how people can talk crap about something that is clearly said in an audio interview linked in the OP. I guess it is true some people are just out right ignorant, an it is a shame they are fans of an institution for higher learning (@ 5xnc & Franchise). Ya'll need to get your **** together, listen to the interview. Thanks for polluting a positive thread with your agenda laden bullcrap.

Go Canes

if it looks like ****, and smells like ****, it is most likely ****.

You are a terrible PoRster.

 

[Republicane9]

There was no indoor practice facility promised. This **** could happen in 20 years. Paranos lacks in reading/listening comprehension
