Got to see the inside of Timmons yesterday. It’s hard to remember how the “old” Timmons looked. The subflooring was installed and one of the endzone seating platforms was being installed. Lots of great features. Can’t wait to see the finished product. It’ll be tops in the SoCon.

Flagman, I was told that is the permanent floor and of course will have to be finished and painted. If another event is there they will cover the floor with a tarp. No portable basketball court like now. At least that is what I was told.

Yes, that is the permanent floor.

Anyone remember the $$ amount they said was needed to do the adjacent practice facility?

It was $10,000,000. With inflation and now the tariffs, it is probably $15,000,000.

If Tariff's and the elimination of much of the government waste bring down the $36.5 trillion dollar national debt we just might wind up getting it signed off on for a nice $7.5 million about 4 years from now ;)

I am afraid the national debt is going up substantially. Hope I am wrong. We need that practice facility built now while Furman basketball is in its heyday!

Going up substantially?
That's exactly what it's been doing already with the idiotic bureaucratic state wasting all our hard earned money.........
So you mean "keep" going up substantially.....

If we don't try some drastic changes this country is going bankrupt while Furman basketball is still in its heyday..............
