That would have been a huge fund raising event for recruiting, a stadium drive, or some other such need that I don't have any idea of because I'm not worthy to hobnob with the "insiders".Quote:

So no one else like people who are expected to pony up for the grand prize are worthy to share in the fight for excellence? Please don't tell me you learned that business model at UL.Quote:

3M vinyl letters on a hard painted surface can last up to 20 years.
UV rays and wind flex are enemies of any banner. Hanging the banner under an awning, concourse or covered walkway could double its lifespan.
Absolutely!Quote:

There's short-term thinking plus long-term thinking, and they need not be on opposite sides of the fence.
True, but so does every fan that bothered to show up last season, every student, and the opposing team needs to be reminded of it too. Of course, with the current "blind man with a cup" business model, no sponsor logo, no get into CF. Let's call it the Popeyes 2021 SBC Championship banner/flag...Quote:

I'm sure a prominent place to display championships is part of the plan in the stadium upgrade.Quote:

But thanks for your efforts GOR ( ghost of Ray)Quote:

What I am saying is they sure figured out a way to be ashamed of them if they are there. And you can argue about the murals, there is no debate about steps tot he "concourse".Quote:

With only 4500 fans there should be a lot of elbow room. Signed a casual, casual fan.Quote:

Stop trying to argue with everyone, it can't be good for your health. M$M pointed out where it's located and you go on a rant about defended mediocrity.Quote:

Do you realize at least half, or more of the people who attend the games have probably never laid eyes on whatever that picture shows. In fact even after seeing the picture I have to take your word that it says something about winning something, or other. I'm still not sure what. You're right, what could possibly be wrong with me? This school is a freaking marketing mecca for geniuses. In fact it's so clever, only the smartest of the smart ever figure out how genius it is. By the way, what does the picture say again?Quote:
