You'd think we could use this to our advantage somehow... "You see, Mr. Multi-Millionaire, you don't want to let UT one-up us, do you???"

Great news for UT though. Savage is a dark/quiet venue, but maybe they can get it right this go-round.

How much does it cost to paint all of your seats one color?

Thought the ad placement on Toledoblade.com was pretty classic this AM as I was looking at the story about the Savage $$ donation. See below...

It's a partnership I'm entering into as I develop our grad program here. The Ayziggyzoo MBA program. BG SUMBA will be helping out a lot.

To add to the irony of the ad on the Blade website, that is my brother on the right side of the picture. He has an engineering degree from UT, but did the executive MBA thing at BG.

"University of Toledo grad Chuck Sullivan and his wife, Jackie, have donated $6 to the university...."

It's going to take some great investments on the part of UT to parlay a $6 donation into the cash needed for $5 million worth of work.

It'll take some time and a little luck, but I bet they can find a dice game behind Savage Hall to work on that.

The paper says that the alums in question donated $6.00. $5,000,000 of that $6.00 goes to Savage Hall. It seems that they're about $4,999,994.00 short.

OH! *whacks head*

I guess I've grown numb to the Blade's minor errors and omissions.

Don't worry, we've got a BGSUMBA working on it.

That's a good idea, since we all know what happened to the University's budget when one of its own did the number crunching.
