Keep in mind, this is very preliminary information.

My urinal cake making factory in China is ready to start making the Redchicken cakes. Just waiting for an okay from Miami University Marketing Department so as to make sure all legal i s are dotted and t s are crossed. I would guess I should get an answer really soon.

probably renovating the dorm rooms

Old girl needs some TLC.

Holy Crap.  This may be the greatest post in the history of Bobcatattack.com

Actually borna they renovated the dorm rooms in the mid-2000s while I was in school.  Basically gutted them so that each room now has an open floor plan and movable furniture compared to the built-in beds, desks and closets they used to have for those 4-person rooms.

Good to get that out there. That makes me happy as the things I listed are high on *MY* priority list from and recruiting and game day experience.

When they redid the Dorms did they bring the wiring up to handle the modern student. I have been impressed withthe extensive renovations to existing structures and building of new dorms at BSU. They took one high rise down to the skeleteon where you could see right through it and the only thing left was the elevator shafts and cement uprights, i have often thought the modern college student has so many more needs than we did electrically and infrastructure wise ....not counting the creature comforts like fireplaces in the common areas.

Often said if I were a student, living in the Roundhouse would be a priority for me.

I lived in Convo, and it was a huge factor in shaping the next 22 years of my life.

However, it's comparatively remote and its size (relatively few residents spread through such a long hallway) does not lead to the same ability to congregate as most dorms.

Frank Burns: “I’m sick of hearing about the wounded. What about all the thousands of wonderful guys who are fighting this war without any of the credit or the glory that always goes to those lucky few who just happen to get shot?”

I know I've probably said this 10 times on this board, but I don't see how we can't at least afford to make the restrooms Green & White instead of blue & white.  I also think having the radio broadcast wired into the restrooms and concession areas would be a great touch that I wouldn't think should cost too much.  Maybe it could even be a student project?

$1-$2 million could go a long way in helping out the Convo. New paint, some graphics on the walls, refreshed restrooms/concessions and I'd be happy. The entrance/lobby could use some serious work too. The Hall of Fame is starting to REALLY show it's age. Half of the pictures have been faded into obscurity by the sun.
