His first name is Q'.

I did not know this was a thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_college_football_stadium_video_boards Didn't know our new one was so small compared to everyone elses. To much larger and it starts looking ridiculous unless we start adding seats but that would kinda gently caress up the hill. We added two smaller boards at the same time that we installed the new one in the corners of the stadium

Huge video boards are bullshit because 90% of it is used for flexible advertising space.

It's kinda hard to see (my own pic because I can't find any irl ones online) but the A&M board actually is mostly filled with useful info:  Those white areas are basically the only places that ever have advertising,

LeeMajors posted:Huge video boards are bullshit because 90% of it is used for flexible advertising space. Yeah, when I've been at games there's been very little of actual value on video scoreboards. Score, time remaining, down and distance, etc. don't require video, which is all you need a scoreboard for. Big video boards seem to be more about "mine's bigger than yours" contests than anything else. I'm not opposed to them, just generally not impressed with them.

Virginia Tech's new video board (a couple years ago now) was such a massive upgrade to the old one. The sound system got a big boost too. (so you can really hear the huge gobbler noise coming over the TV mics)

I have a friend who works for the BTN and he said they did a great job with it and outside of like tOSU/Michigan its his favorite place in the Big Ten to work a game. I guess the NFL games there were also hilarious. But yeah its weird they built a tiny stadium.

A search warrant has been issued for currentplayer Quincy Mauger and former player Brendan Langley's phone records. The title of the article is pretty misleading, but it appears as if they are the victims of identity theft and fraudulent baking transactions and not some "hey withdraw this cash, we say its fraud, they give us cash, you take a cut and I get the rest" kind of scheme. And if it is, thats a really dumb and convoluted scheme.

The phone records will be useful in determining whether or not these two guys conspired with the two who've been caught.

Yeah, it is one of those things that sounds super fishy, and as a UGA fan, I am used to seeing it being our players being the ones getting in trouble and not the victims. I hope it is fraud but man, the deposits don't make it sound very good.

Penn State replaced theirs last summer and went from having a housing that held one full-color, one amber light array, and an amber light clock plus a bunch of ads to having it all in one big screen. The overall size is about the same. A lot of old people complained that they were upset that the screens didn't have the clock, down and distance, or score on it and they had to look at the ribbon displays on the upper deck lips. Which is exactly like it was before the new screen, so I'm confused.

I always enjoyed the Iowa sound system that was muffled and sounded like it was coming from underneath the sea when they were announcing silly things like down and distance but crystal clear and ear drum destroyingly loud when they played a Coke commercial at the start of halftime. There are also a lot of really objectively awful pop songs from around 2009 that make me super happy because I associate them with Kinnick during the Orange Bowl season. I'm pretty sure they played the same Black Eyed Peas song 700 times during a night game against Michigan and darn it, it was a good good night.

And it's not even out of malice, I just want another person to be kicked around for hating ads inside the stadium. (for the record, Michigan has giant videoboards now and doesn't advertise on them except for intra-university programs)
