As I read some off the post on here....I have notice that no one has put the real problem out here. So I guess I will be the one.
Gramblinites, WE are our own Cancer.
I have read where people are talking about Doug, Dawson, Broadway and other Administrators. But Guess what they were never the Problem.... WE as Alumni are. Let me sum it up for you. Do you know how the PWC keep a positive scare in to the administrators of the alma matas. The Alumni does this. Let an LSU, TEXAS, OU, Alabama, Ohio State or other big PWC coaches or administrator do something to disrespect the school. The Alummi Steps in demands clean up. But they can do that because THEIR Alumni is LARGE and ACTIVE with the workings of their school. Now Let me get to Grambling and GUNAA. WE ARE GRAMBLING. AND as ALUMNI We should demand better from all aspects of the School. NOW Folks are say we should play this school and we should play that school, but guess what...The powers at b are doing the best with what they have and I APPLAUD THEM.
NOW To GUNAA,
If you were at the past national conventions, those of you that are numbers peoples would have been sadden or should have been. But if you were let me tell you what I am talking about.
Let me start of by saying that our Current GUNAA National Leaders are doing a wonderful with what that have as well.
The most important thing they gave us was NUMBERS....So since I know most Presidents didn't bring this back to their chapters....Let me enlighten you on the problem.
Did you guys know that GUNAA does their membership budget (2012) of 300 Regular Members, 100 and 800 Lifetime members, these are NATIONAL numbers people. And the life time members only pays a service fee. and they said they are praying to get these numbers. REALLY!!!!! Does anyone see a problem here. Hell I DO...How can you give and help your school with this numbers WE can't. Now All of us know more that 300 Alumni YOUNG AND OLD. But we complain that something is always wrong but you don't put your voice in the right place. GUNAA is your united voice. I am in Texas so let me give you some numbers. It was stated to me by a VP of Grambling that we have 5000 known alumni in Texas and 2000 of them Dallas/FT Worth alone. Wow...Just think what we have nationally!!!!!!
But look at the NATIONAL number I gave you earlier...big difference huh!!!!!
Let me give you an Idea on how strong we could be. Lets say we as the state of Texas created a Texas Grambling Fund.
2500 alumni of those 5000 alumni (HALF) gave $100 a year ($8.33) a month. WE could give Grambling $250,000 a year.
Wow that is a nice number huh??? I bet Dr. Pogue could use that and he wouldn't have to depend on games like ULM and TCU.
Don't get me wrong..I want to see us play these schools but not as a financial gain...as a completions to say We (GRAMBLING) can compete with you.
BUT!!!!!!!
WE Are our own downfall.
Example of how divide we are!!!
I saw something this past week (GSU/PV weekend) that really broke my heart for dear old Grambling. I went to a function that really showed me why Grambling is behind. It was funny to me that at this kick off mixer ( I am going to be blunt going forward) the Dallas Chapter had full representation at this mixer, but the North Dallas Chapter didn't know anything about it. And If I wasn't invited by someone I (President of the NORTH Dallas Chapter) would not have been there. Next I get a Brochure from the Game and I see only the Dallas Chapter in this Brochure and there again the NORTH Dallas Chapter wasn't aware of the Brochure to advertise in.
AGAIN!!!! WE are our own downfall for dear old Grambling.
IF WE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE ONE GRAMBLING....Why what is going . I also Heard this is going on in Houston between the two chapters.
This is CRAZY Folks. How is Grambling suppose to grow?? Please help me understand.... All this bad mouthing we are are giving other alumni is a big TURN OFF to YOUNG alumni. And who suffers GRAMBLING STATE UNIVERSITY suffers.
If you guys want to see change at Grambling, then we as Grambling alumni need to change. WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER and stop acting like Modern Day Slaves....
Grambling State University can be so much stronger if we come together...and act like ONE GRAMBLING. Its starts with Getting active with GUNAA and Putting our NUMBERS where our mouth is. If we don't...all you guys will forever be venting and complaining on here....creating more problems and not creating solutions!!!!
