Personally I feel this type of facility is needed above most of the things that UGA could do to bring credibility and maybe a few more athletes to the school. Not only for Football but some of the other sports could use indoor practice time. Believe we are on the outside looking in when it comes to taking care of our athletes in this respect, and its not for the lack of funds. We've all hashed this over in the past, maybe a push from this group and others could sway the minds of those with their hands on the purse strings.
growl, you are so right in my opinion to "keep the issues open". There is not a reasonable reason for our university to fall behind in "any area", especially SEC Football. As has been said many times before . . . . "the cash cow", "goose that lays the golden egg".
Feel that some believe the masses have taken their eyes off of the ball. Pruitt/Rocker and Company have almost everyones attention.
Want to keep that caliber of coaches, McGarity and the Group need to be leaders, not followers.
Still hard for me to accept South Carolina and others having a more complete facility than we have. Guess that shows the "importance" of a head coach than can get certain things moved forward. Spurrier came back to the SEC and picked up where he left off. He let it be known to those that run South Carolina football that changes would be made, and they have benefited greatly from his "wise counsel". 11 win seasons, great for ticket sales will continue with improvements like this. Smart investment for the future of South Carolina football. Some lead, some follow.

Edit: Check out the facilities elsewhere in college football. Also in this link look at what the "Group" in Athens has to offer.
