A Tiny Bit Of Good News

[FirefightnRick]

It's not much but, as mentioned in another thread the 1929 Model A Green Machine wasn't present last night at the game. I contribute this to some info told to me last week by the Talons that it was scheduled to have its original combustible engine placed back in, ending one of the most stupid ideas ever born on our campus, that of turning a traditional American Classic automobile into an electric car.

Members of the Swartz family, Soundman and myself told university officials two years ago not to do that and that it was going to be a disaster and a waste of time and money. But they had to find it out for themselves and it turned out exactly that way.

So thankfully it's being restored again and hopefully we will see it soon spreading the Mean Green Spirit again on campus, in parades and at other events.

I didn't think they were going to do it this soon. At the $mut game, I thought they said they would be doing it later after the season. I'm sure I'm not the only one who told them to get it done now. Glad to see this error is being corrected.
