The "new" Dome and recruiting

[Capt. Tuttle]

are there going to be any bells and whistles in this phase which might turn some recruiting heads for basketball?

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

only one bell but four whistles, at last count

More if TV Teddy is referee.

Best hope that the new videoboard is going to be enormous. That would make a nice statement. But I doubt it will be anything that big. You know how Sala do.

I think you’ll be VERY wrong on this.

Last time I talked to Pete at a b-ball game he said the scoreboard element is going to be insane insane and Pete is usually pretty reserved when discussing things but he said that part is going to blow people away

Ok so what are they waiting for? Would it hurt to build the anticipation with a tease?

I hope sala understands that a scoreboard can have the latest bells and whistles, but size is what matters here... especially because we play in such a cavernous building. Everyone has an HD video board these days.

I heard that we’re getting a 25 inch magnavox.

Does that come with the new seats?

Going off topic, but I remember in the 90s sitting at a game when someone would carry a small portable black-and-white TV to watch other action from their seats. Thought it was the coolest invention ever.

From what I have been told the size of the scoreboard will be no issue. Measure it in terms of yards, not feet or inches. The fact that it will not move horizontally will lessen the impact for basketball - particularly for those in the movable seats (Sect. 122 - 126).

Size matters in a lot of situations

Can't wait to see those STH's start a protest on the chancellor's front lawn.

YES! My FIL used to bring one to the dome in the early 90's.

No horizontal move? Not a huge deal I guess, but kinda disappointing.

Curious if it will be possible for punts to hit the thing?

VERY disappointing if your hoops seats are in Section 123. Sounds like there will be new video boards installed in each end zone thought that will be HD and much larger.

Anything's possible, but I am sure the height of the scoreboard and the altitude of punts has been taken into account. I think the board can still move vertically so maybe we can drop it 50 feet when the opponent piunts and raise it back up when we do.

nothing grabs a man's attention like electronics or boobs...or boobs on electronics, which is my guess for why these guys are so mesmerized.
