Just saw a facebook update from the LU Football page. It says "Major renovations underway in the FOC - returning SA's will feel like they are stepping into a new building!" Does anyone know what they're doing? I feel like I'm behind on something but maybe this is new to you guys too.

They are turning the Donors room in the FOC into positional film rooms. Manny had to find a corner and hold a meeting with another meeting going on in the same room last year. This new coaching staff has big time expectations of them, they are getting paid premium money, so they want the space to do the job and excel at Liberty. It is amazing to me the difference in the atmosphere in the FOC. It Is no longer arrogance without results, it is expectations will be exceeded. I love it.

Donors have a new place to play on game days. They dont need FOC space anymore.

I'll believe that when I see it. one of my pet peeves about our program. Equipment was never really viewed as Important enough. Mike does a great job with what he is given.

I agree...it was several years into the Rocco era before we had mostly Riddell Revolution, Revo Speed and DNA helmets
