Bucof2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Posted July 19, 2010 On the new "Carrol Butch Thomas Educational Support Center" I know some of you'll loved to see this :D
Lefty99 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Posted July 19, 2010 This thing could get ugly! Many eyes will be watching this one! ;)
BigWolf10 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Posted July 19, 2010 It could be worst. They could have put a Giant statue at the entrance :D or a huge billdboard with his face on it for all the passbyers to see :D :D :D ;D
WOSgrad Posted July 19, 2010 Report Posted July 19, 2010 Yes, I did notice that driving by the facility you have no doubt as to the name of the facility!
Guest JoesBros Posted July 19, 2010 Report Posted July 19, 2010 Those letters arent as big as the life size statue of Kerry Cooper we have when you walk in to the Setxsports building ;D

I wonder who did that?

When in reality, IMO, it makes BISD look kinda ignorant. Bad choice for the stadium name. I would have been fine with BISD stadium.
BMTSoulja1 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Posted July 19, 2010 My crosstown buddy still sour over the name. I've been over it... It'll be alright... ;D ;D
westend1 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Posted July 19, 2010 Over and done. Nobody will think much of it when a few years have passed. Still, Beaumont Stadium seems like a better fit.
SFA85 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Posted July 19, 2010 The Richard E. Berry Center for Educational Assistance located in Cypress Texas aka The Berry Center. I guess people would like the stadium's name better if it didn't have CBT's name on it....

Guest GCMPats Posted July 19, 2010 Report Posted July 19, 2010 If I am not mistaken, the Berry Center (as well as the M O Campbell Center in Aldine) actually hold Physical Education classes in the facility attached to the football stadium.

I feel like its a slap in the face, as a BISD taxpayer, to have the school board name it after a man who is still alive and running this ship. It's more commonplace to memorialize someone that has done great things in a community, after he has passed. I think it's bad karma on the part of the schoolboard to agree on the name that was selected. But oh well, I'm sure after we get a few wins in that stadium, I'll forget all about it. ;D
Bucof2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Posted July 20, 2010 Where did "educational support center " come from? I mean first they have the nerve to name it after him then they use letters big enough to. See from Galveston >:(

No other school, therefore, no other events besides football and basketball......

Now for those inside the ropes of BISD, I bet y'all couldn't name the last 3 Supts with the aid of the Google machine. CBT legacy will be the resoration of BISD's buildings both east and west of the freeway.....Any other supt can't compare to CBT and deep within your twisted cerebellums, y'all know I'm right.......

Guest GCMPats Posted July 20, 2010 Report Posted July 20, 2010 Wow! Did he fund the construction of these buildings with his OWN money? I doubt it.

I just don't understand how people from out of town have so much hate for Dr. Thomas or anything BISD...

And that was just in the last 12 months... :P
