Gateway Project update

[getgrizzy]

AI, robots, all things cyber, space, engineering, medicine etc., are in charge right now. Hard for me to see how this cycles back...

I would submit to a large extent, this sentence answers its own question.

Knowing how to program and code is great, and critical. Knowing how to design your product to fit people's needs, wants, desires and abilities -- and then being able to market that product -- is how companies make money. IT people suck ass at those things. Marketers, finance, economists, social scientists, lawyers, psychologists, historians, artists do those things. And they're in dwindling supply and soon to be high demand.

The pendulum will swing. It always has and always will.

The UM-MSU enrollment pendulum has a history of swinging, but nothing like right now.
From the 60s through the early 70s we had an edge, then from 75-86 MSU typically had 1,500-2,000 more students. I can’t find numbers for both schools between 1987-2004, but we had a small edge <203 from 05-09. Since 2010 MSU has had more beginning with 2013 it has been at least 3,000 more and is currently almost 6,000 more, which is unprecedented.

Considering that and the fact that our own staff don’t see numbers going up until at least 2025 the pendulum may not swing back our way for a couple decades.

The notion that IT people suck ass doesn’t seem lost on MSU’s staff. The Asbjornsen building was built for that reason. Another element that will keep “kids and their parents” eyeing MSU for at least the next decade.

The world, however, is on the verge of a global climate change that will have a huge impact on jobs and the focus educators have on that could bring about a positive change at UM. Hopefully we’re positioning for that.

MSU has benefited from the Cruzado effect. A dynamic leader and visionary.....
UM struggles with identity. They are struggling with debt and department restructuring. The debt and department restructuring will be resolved at some point. The identity is another issue.

We’re not struggling with identity. We have the same problem most colleges have. Less people going to college almost everywhere. It just looks worse with MSU doing well.

Well, ewoo is moving forward by at least considering establishing a task force to investigate fund raising for stadium expansion....


Holy hell. SOMETIMES I think we take for granted how fortunate we are to be GRIZ.

Sometimes? Like all the time. Griz fans often take for granted what most other FCS programs only dream about. We got it good!

You have it good... in terms of stadium. But not in terms of winning.

And to that I say, who gives a F*%@. Hahaha

Really?

First, there isn't a GRIZ fan on the planet who trade trophy cases with the ewooooooers.

Second, the thread on your board regarding roos field renovation extends 91 pages. Ninety one. Nearly every post talking about how shitty the facilities are at ewooo. So, I would hazard a guess that all 23 ewoo fans give a fuck.

If you read the article and still wonder who gives a fuck, you eat cardboard.

Here’s a post by a reputable member of the Cheney17—SteamingFecal—from 2012 claiming the Gateway Project would be finished by 2014. https://egriz.com/grizboard/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=57161&p=761278&hilit=gateway+project#p761278

In my best Nelson Muntz impression: HA-ha!

Do you mean in terms of Montana winning 27, EWU 16 with one tie? The program here is more than the stadium. And it's returning in force to your favorite venue.

In his defense, he did hear that several hundred thousand dollars were contributed "already", and was told several big time donors were "on board" . . . in 2012 . . . which was seven years ago.

Now that the EagNation Organizational Committee to Handle Assessment of New Construction Envy (#EagNOCHANCE) has thought about beginning to consider the prospect of putting together a taskforce to think about the analysis of the plusses and minuses of stadium expansion, I have no doubt it will happen very soon.
