Message: [QUOTE="FrancoPizza, post: 3075937, member: 5195"] We can ALL agree it will be a huge shot in the arm. "Game changer", however, can be read as we're now entering the arms race with SEC schools... or it could be interpreted as elevating our status to be on par or slightly exceeding our peers. Either way, I'm just excited that we're even having this discussion. And I like having some time to imagine the possibilities instead of just hearing the announcement in a few months. Also, I think some of us initially got caught up in the reported number ($25M) and forget that the university is probably going to step up to match that in some way. $25M could buy a new stadium in 1980 but might only buy us nice locker rooms in 2020. Clearly, the indications are that the total investment will far exceed the gift amount. And I'm willing to bet that this donation doesn't happen without last year's breakthrough season. Dino is the gift that keeps on giving. [/QUOTE]
