Hot Take Time Machine: RP Archives

I know a lot of us remember threads that got taken down over the years. (Pretty much all the good ones.) If you never got the back story, conclusion or anything else from threads removed on topics you were interested in, let’s dig em up here. @Cajun4life lead the way lol

lets go back to the Hudspeth rabbit hole :smiling_face_with_horns:

(I don’t even remember the original month) WILL BE SWEET FOR THE CAJUNS!

April

Oh god I totally forgot about this :joy:

Idk if this is a great example or not, but I remember when I was younger and had just joined RP, I spent multiple days trolling Vic with memes I made (this was in like 2021 when him and JMV would beef in every freaking thread). I wonder if I still have any of those in my files lol. But anyway Turbine removed my ability to post until I made an apology :joy:

Kevin Sumlin flight tracker was an all time great

Totally and completely made up. Swear to god.

What about the topic that got RP shut down for what, a month?

This was what I was thinking of. But can’t remember the topic. Lol

It started with the Hudspeth saga and devolved into all kinds of different things.

I can’t remember either, but it coincided with the creation of Rougarooms. So that was around what? 2019/2020?

Wasn’t it about the proposed development around Cajun Field?

I think it was Vic threatening to sue Turbine for allowing him to be doxed or something. Or that was one of the times it went down.

Yeah that was when we had Stan Kroenke’s real estate team come in wanting to develop retail stores on UL property across from Cajun Field, and the university did nothing about it.

We coulda had Bass Pro Shop on Congress baw

It was a lot more than that. IIRC, it was immediate revenue of $60mm, the school would retain ownership of the land, they had a plan for TIFFs in that area with the city, and they wanted to open up a bar inside the new stadium (yes they were going to build us a new stadium way back then) and I think it was Walk-On’s. Victory can correct me if I’m wrong there.

They also had a relationship with Big 12 people and were going to upgrade other facilities to get us in line to make the jump to the Big 12. This is why you saw us talking about Big 12 membership back then. It was on the table.

I thought the walk ons rumor had something to do with Russo Park but I could have had that mixed up

Farmer and the Tigue Moore lies.

I believe this was the culprit.
