Question for Philly dawgs, Yates Contruction in Philly, how active

[coach66]

are they in Ole Miss recruiting efforts. I know he has a box at Ole Miss and State for entertainment purposes but he is an Ole Miss Alumni and one of the most successful business men in the country. I am just curious whether he is active or not, I have never heard that he was.

to make money on one of their jobs. I am not trying to run them down I just want to know if they are active boosters.

in this economy, I expect Yates has, um, higher priorities right now than fooling with 17 year old oversexed manchildren.

they have their focus on bigger issues than where high school football players want to go to college.

I think Robert Jr went to State, not 100% sure. They aren't going to risk what little business is out there in this economy over some silly football recruiting. They are/were a big time very professional construction company. They've been hit hard just like everyone else and as an Architect I can tell you they have bigger fish to fry right now.

I know Yates has been very supportive of MSU and the School of Architecture in the past and has hired many summer interns from State. That would probably qualify them as boosters for us too.

but I really believe this type of garbage is really beneath them; while they are big UM donors, I think they're friends of State; many of their employees are State folks and I think they're beyond alot of this<div>
</div><div>now the Mars bunch; that's where the stink is coming from</div>

I don't think there is much to that.</p>

I suspect that you are correct. I heard that they layed off several PMs in the Biloxi office.

 

[hooptydawg]

isn't involved in this CJ mess? really?<div>

Ask the folks who used to own the businesses that now comprise some of Yates' subsidiaries.
