[Ken711]

A new large video scoreboard is being constructed over the summer in time for this season's football season, as well as for the 2011-12 lacrosse programs.

I hope that the football team gets to use it but I fear that the first highlight will be during lax season.

Actually, Andy Noel was interviewed on Sidelines last week and said it will be completed in early August to allow time for practice and preparation, so we should be in good shape for the football season.

I just hope we can keep it functional if we host any lax regionals.

Who's paying? Haven't seen any news stories about it. It's a good idea. This kind of thing is also a lightning rod for profs and departments feeling the pinch.

Noel said it was paid for by football and lacrosse supporters.

I was about to say something snippy like the football supporters didn't see the need for a tens column for the Home Score ... but maybe things are finally looking up for them. We've had a decade (several decades) of dashed hopes with new coaches. Kent Austin may be the difference-maker.

I believe Austin was a driving force behind raising funds for the project.....

To incite applause in the crowd, can we get a graphic of two seemingly gloved hands clapping slowly?  Please?

Had to read it closely.  For a minute I thought you were advertising a cologne.  ::whistle::

Wow, it's incredible seeing the process of going from no scoreboard to no scoreboard zoom by like that!

Worst. Timelapse. Ever.
