A Work In Progress


It was announced on several Ole Miss sporting sites that C.M. "Tad" Smith Coliseum will undergo a major renovation in the next several years. The whole project is still up in the air as far as the details, but ideas being tossed around are: new ceiling, lighting, bathrooms, concourse, and a possible practice facility.

This is not going to be something that is done over night. It is going to take a while to complete this entire project and it will probably be a two phase project. I do not think there are even any blueprints on the drawing table. This project is in the very beginning phases and where the money is going to come from is unsure of also.

All these people that have said the university is not committed to basketball are full of bull. Look at the news coming out of the athletic department the past two weeks and this will prove my point. I am very excited to see we took on the renovation instead of a new arena. I look forward to the coming years of Ole Miss basketball and all I can say is that it is about time.
