I believe a couple of former LU employees are now at RM. Chris King and Kim Graham. King is AD.
UPMC Events Center is very nice and looks like a template for our arena. Duquesne has been playing their mostly and PPG Paints Center some as their arena under goes renovations this year.

In a recent interview, Ian indicated that construction is on schedule for the arena to be ready in time for volleyball, and the entire home schedule may be played there, although contingency plans are being made in case there are unexpected delays.

One of the things I miss about Jeff Barber was the broader social media presence of the AD and seemingly constant updates- complete with pictures. Just not Ian’s style I guess. Even York has cut back. Obviously access to campus is probably limited these days but it’s been in decline over the last year or so. Thank God we still have Manson and his minions to do it.

I’d love to take photos of Liberty Arena and post. I’ve gone to campus several times to do just that, but unless I risk my life on the side of 460 there’s really nowhere to get a good shot.

You also get a nice view of the Liberty Arena from the third floor of the JFL, which is mostly closed except for a certain office in the Scholars Commons area where the Quiz Bowl trophy case is located. Study

I rode thru campus this morning. The new arena exterior is currently a dark gray. Reminds me of a huge Navy ship. Also rode by softball stadium to check out the 3 new outdoor batting cages.

JR needs to have a warrant put out on you.

Why was he not arrested? This won’t look good for the trial of those NYT people

Typical Liberal. You should really turn yourself in to the proper authorities. I’m sure being nominally former law enforcement that’s what you would encourage others to do. It’s the right and ethical thing to do

Sources tell me they have started taking the Vines Center roof off. I will check it out when I travel to campus Thursday.

Is that an essential trip? If so, take photos and upload them. With all your freetime you should be learning new things! :D

He breaks the law just like Northam. Travels where he wants because laws don’t apply to him

Ballcoach, were these construction guys, or a meeting of the Old Men's Club? My sources say 3 old men were spotted on campus, just below the Mansion.
