He took the picture. There's only 4 seats up there.

I was being a smart ass.  Let's all work on our sense of humor.  Wren is flying the plane.

SL, NS, WB, Mosley and another one of WB hires are going touring other schools facilities. 5 different schools, in 5 different states in 2 days.

Wondering if they are going to any of their former stops like UNC, IU, OU/OSU?

Now the question is do they have designs ready to pick from and these places they are going are for them to actually see it, or they are going to get ideas

My guess: They have started with a list of features they think they would like to see in our facility and have followed that up with some drawings or pictures that they have seen of others' facilities incorporating some of those things. Now they will physically look at some representative buildings that incorporate some/all of the things on the wish list. Part of the walk-throughs will be looking for features that they hadn't thought about, efficient layouts, etc. Just one guy's opinion.

I hope assistant coach pay and recruitment budget goes way the heck up. 

[Wag Tag]

I hope they are also visiting schools with more of  moderate budgets! 

[greenminer]

So glad we have our own private jet!

 

[BTG_Fan1]

Possible locations???

Memphis, Mizzou, OU/OSU, UNC and IU??? All stops by WB and SL before UNT

If they flew out of Denton it looks like they are in Lynchburg, VA. It would make sense because Liberty University built a new indoor practice facility last year.

Lynchburg, VA is about 1.5 hours from my house.  Maybe I should find out which hotel they are staying at and stalk them.  GMG!

Good guess.  It could be that the five schools they are visiting are either known by the staff or perhaps were designed by the same company they will be using.

You da boss.

Austin, huh? I may just have to make a stroll by UT tomorrow. Well never mind, they won't get there til almost 7pm.

After looking at the flight schedule, I'm wondering how they expect to get on the ground, in a car, onto I-35 in rush hour to UT, tour UT athletic facilities, and get back onto the plane for a takeoff 1hr and 6min later.

Denver? I guess they could drive to Boulder to tour U. of Colorado.

School visits look like Liberty, Marshall, Miami (Ohio), Colorado, Oklahoma State, and Texas...

Confirmed (minus Texas)

Miami Ohio looks incredible (far superior to UNT):

Actually, it's between Denver and Boulder.  CU is just a 15 minute drive from that airport.

[BTG_Fan1]

Peak or Peek one of the guys that WB brought in, was previously up in the Denver area, I believe

 nothing about UT or Austin..?
