Man, if I had a gym like this to use instead of my shitty one down the street....I'd still make up excuses not to go.

Seriously though. Whenever I book a hotel, I always take a look at the workout room pictures to make my decision. And when I check-out I always say I'll visit the workout room on my next visit.
Holiday Inn Express has the best weight rooms. You're so rested in the a.m. you feel like you worked out.

Sexyyy. Glad to see our money going to something that helps the actual student athletes.

You know that it is named after someone for a reason, right?

Either he edited the post, or one of us is reading the response wrong. I took the "sexy" to mean the way the facility looks, not the name.

He's takimg issue with the "our" money part.
Eh, I don't see the big deal. People use possessive when talking about things related to "their" team all the time and it's understood they're not meaning it in a personal possessive way. I'm taking the "our" was intended to be understood in that context, but hey maybe he was being an entitled douchbag and I'm wrong.
You're still misunderstanding. He meant that ticket revenue ("our money") didn't pay for the renovations. A big donation from Al Glick and Fam did, which is why they named the "room" after him.
Nope, I got that part. My point stands whether the source of the money is AD revenue or individual donation.
I see
With that context, your take now makes absolutely no sense to me.

Lame. No floor-to-ceiling waterfalls.
To be fair, I think Alabama's training facility also has its own ZIP code, post office, public works department and village council. It's a high bar indeed.
If the water is moving from the floor to the ceiling, is it still a waterfall?

And no mirrors on the ceiling so they can blow kisses at themselves while they are benching.

Pshh if it doesn't have waterfalls or laser tag then what the hell are we doing here?
The arms race of college athletics training facilities is decadent and depraved.
He looks srsly sleep deprived.

Looks great. Love the white walls with maize and blue trim! The rest of it is nice too.
I be like dang. This makes my gym look like the barn in Rocky IV...
It makes my gym look like the meat-packing plant in Rocky. Of course, my gym IS in a meat-packing plant.
Well I am the meat packing plant. Rocky might use me as a fodder
Nobody in there. The team is obviously soft.
Holy hell.
Does the Glick Family do fundraisers?
I don't see any of the plastic Sears Roebuck Ted Williams weights. What's up with that?
I think I remember on Attack Each Day Podcast that the players take off their pads and walk through an ice cold pool with their undies on to cool off or something? Did anyone hear this?
