I was told there was about $5 million dollars pledged to a football practice facility in the fall.  They still needed several million before they would move ahead with the project.  I know Marrone spent time with Al Davis a few months before his death to seek  support for the football program.  Obviously, it never materilazed.  I know in the past donations increased after a bowl victory.  Let's hope with  what we're hearing may help Gross and Marrone push the donation wheel again.  They still don't have a naming pledge for the facility.  When Marrone talks about lack of support for the program, he's not just talking about fans in the seats, but alumni donation support for facilities.  One of the biggest supporters of the program is The Turning Stone.  It would be nice if they stepped up to help.  I could name about 5 local people that could get this done in a heart beat, but noone seems to be willing to provide the support necessary for the facility to get built.
