New Baseball Scoreboard (in time for 2013 SBC Tournament)

[Boomer]

I think I better not comment---anyway that is what I was told it was to be!!!! Although it is not part of the "so called" master plan it takes on a very important part of the baseball expansion!!!

New board will have similar setup as what we have now. 16:9 video screen on the left with a traditional scoreboard on the right.

I gotta say I was hoping for something different but whatever. This works too.

It will begin installation the week after the weekend series with South Alabama, which is May 10-12. It will be operational for the Sun Belt Conference tournament on May 22nd, which will be the next event in the stadium following the South Alabama series. The Daktronics folks will be here to operate the new scoreboard during the tournament and will train university personnel at that time to operate it in the future.

I hope the admin doesnt have anything to do with this scoreboard getting installed on time.

I am picturing the SBC tournament at the Tigue and the scoreboard not being completed because they are still crossing ts and dotting i's.

We would have to set up a makeship scoreboard made of cardboard squares hanging from hooks. Someone wojld have to go flip to the next number when a team scored.

Jk here but not really....

Someone overheard Farmer saying he had to do a study first.

It is funny yet holds some truth to it ... is this what is referred to as irony?

The cardboard scoreboard could be a good idea and we could use the Ragin' Cajun font for the numbers, except:
1. No one could read them;
2. They are trademarked so we would have to get approval and pay someone extra for them.

You are right; let's keep the admin out of it and hope for the best ... the best, we don't get that here very often do we? Let's also hope this is a change in the way things get done around here.

Get it done ... right ... and on time!

Anyway the board will be 12'x75'-----37' of the video area----Tony got the deal done as he is very close to these backers and has always been----Both Gerald and Ken helped very much in getting it done!!! Some things just don't happen in public and are hatched behind the scenes before the birth announcement---meantime, I want the Master plan NOW!!! Still finalizing how to present it as a total or in stages----maybe I am just too prejudiced toward what I think my Alma Mater is when it is not as good as to what it is trumped up to be---but I don't think so---just can't understand the conference shun!!!!!!

Boom, think back bud.. except for a few accidents we have always half assed it. Go back before "the fossil".. Throw your buddy Blanco in there.. all good old boys.. Some are trying to change that, but they keep getting push back..."I cant get the conference shun"... REALLY!!!?? Come on man.. snap out of it!! Up until this past December at the NO bowl, Savoie had NO idea how important facilities upgardes were... Why do you think its all of a sudden balls to the wall?? So, if Tjoe is just learning this... do you really think SF put in any serious effort prior??? Im gonna say.....uhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... no.

Boomer, its simple. The admin hasn't shown any real leadership WRT athletics in other conferences' minds. But like most of you, I think that is finally coming to pass. We can only hope its not too late. I think Georgia So., and App State are fine adds to the Sun Belt - - it's just not the conference I wish to be in ...........................

If I were you I'd move it over to LSU! They have an awesome conference and they're only 50 miles away so you can probably make some games.

whatever....

Z21, this is what makes any sense to me ... they just didn't get it. At least I hope that is what the problem was. Now I hope that they do get it so that we can get on and quit being one of the worst D1 athletic departments in the country!

You have to get rid of the obstacle at the top first.
