Like has been pointed out, the stadium is the missing piece of the puzzle. At this point 2010 seems to be impossible. Lets hope that something gets done for 2011.
GO OWLS!!!
Sure seems like that 1 year would set us back 5. We need that stadium in 2010 as promised to players by coaches.
I agree. We need a stadium and fast. However, the way things have been going it doesn't look like it will be done by kickoff 2010.
It is hard to be an optimist at this point.
GO OWLS!!!

I read what everybody writes, but just wondering…why exactly do you feel that way? I feel like I dont know what is going on with the process.

A good quote i came across today, that seems very fitting:
"Our greatest battles are that with our own minds."
- Jameson Frank
Add this to the already infamous:
"To believe is to be strong"
- HS
So, and as such, we must march on…….

I have been following the program since day one and this thing (the stadium) has been talked about since day one. Full recruiting classes have come and gone with the promise of a stadium being unfullfilled. All of the problems with the BOT, postponed meetings, unfulfilled promises, etc. make it hard to be optimistic right now. That said, we are all pretty much in the dark. Based on my experience with this so far, being in the dark is not a good thing. Those are just my feelings.
I hope I am wrong and that meetings are taking place and funding is being secured and 2010 is a sure thing.

Yeah, this is frusturating. Not that I have ever even raised $1 in my life…but the amount of money we need in hand seems like it should be peanuts for a large University.

Re: Stadium Funding
Maybe we at the Owls Nest should lead the way? Each of us pledge 10 dollars a month. I'm gonna "ask the AD" if we can get a website setup.

Or an online fundraising thing like how Obama raised millions with small donations. If just the registered members of Owls Nest gave 10 bucks a piece thats 8 grand.
Yeah, but some of those are UCF fans, the Texas guy, the Troy guy, Tebow the Great, that clown Bossman from Memphis. ;D
But seriously folks, are there any stats on how many faculty/staff or alumni have donated to the stadium? It's not necessarily a question of "how much?" but rather "how many?" Doesn't hurt to show potential donors that X% of your stakeholders are behind it, too.
