I think they may be somewhat leery about painting directly to the concrete. Normal paint does not allow the concrete to breathe and could cause deterioration of the substrate, which would be very bad.
Not sure this is a big issue indoors. I believe they have painted much of the concrete around the private boxes surrounding the perimeter on the first deck sidelines with no problems.
This only applies to exterior walls that would be subjected to moisture. Interior concrete does not have this issue. The inability to breathe and build up moisture is what causes deterioration. There are special paints and other methods to avoid the issue. I am not sure if this is why they have never painted them, but just a possibility.
Thanks. I like hearing outsider perspective when it seems genuine.
Didn't realize they only played 1 side down south. My town has 2000 students, 155 on the football team, and the best kids play both sides(13 of them), same as all the larger schools we play. They all work out year round, since 8th grade. Having the luxury to sit them? Can't imagine that.
Occasionally u will play 2 ways but not a ton. At central square u play all game. Don’t have a choice.
Hyper insecure? No. I really enjoy most of our other conference posters. They provide value to the conversation.
I wasn't saying the stadium isn't nice, just that it's too far from campus. Given what you say about land, I guess you work with what you have. It'll be interesting to see how Diaz pans out. The players seem to have wanted him bad and it sounds like he started killing it in recruiting right off the bat. However, you never know how a coordinator is going to translate to head coach.
But I'm not a guest though...Hyper insecure? No. I really enjoy most of our other conference posters. They provide value to the conversation.
You say you aren't a troll but you have so far disrespected one of our commits by basically stating the only reason SU got him was that he is a project and wasn't good enough for Miami. Such a Rutgers move.
You have disrespected The Dome. You must not have read the threads about the renovations that are starting this year.
And then, worst of all, you have disrespected "Swag Daddy" by stating we have no elite recruiter on staff. Shameful.
And as to continued posting here...only if you remember that you are a guest in Our House.
And Yes gbo, I really do like you.
There is no problem with posting here.
Not enough talent near us. And everyone "recruiting service" is undervaluing kids in that area with too few stars...lol To be elite, SU has to control that corridor from NY to DC.
AND, the amount of "true" committable offers can't be quantified either. Offers are pulled when slots are filled or better talent becomes available. Yet, the offers are still listed. So, your offers only evaluation of players isn't full-proof either.
I did use Virginia, as well. A little out of the 6 hour window from Cuse. If we were to remove that, parts of Ohio are still within 6 hours. (relatively close to home)
I think it was Randy Shannon who used them exclusively, I could be wrong. That’s the only time I can remember reading about a staff putting that type of value into those rankings.
You are correct and it is partially to blame for why he no longer has a head job. Rankings mean very little to coaches. They are for people like us...recruiting junkies.
1) Because (this was in basketball), a fella by the name of Clark Francis ( Hoop Scoop) once mentioned that many college recruiters subscribed to his service because it helped narrow the focus of where school's would spend their time looking/following/seeing recruits in action. It's funny when Dino references a highly rated recruit. Highly rated by whom???????? Where would he get such a term??? Don't fool yourself. No matter what coaches say publicly, they look at rankings just like you and everyone else here that seeks a measuring stick of where our recruiting stands.
