like "this past weekend, we cemented our place as a bottom feeder in the sec."

i think he was actually right. i guess he could have said "they were concreted down today", which would probably also be correct, as concrete can be a verb.

Why wouldn't you put the supports off to the side of the building and build the scoreboard over Seal?

Setting the supports farther apart would cause more problems such as: The scoreboard would have to be bigger or it would look like **** ( a lot more money needed). The larger board would require much more steel and concrete to ensure the board does not bow down in the middle( more more money). This would also require a longer construction period (more more more money). I know it will look somewhat odd at first, but i think we will get used to it. In a nut shell, it may cost twice as much to put the supports outside of the M club.

On a side note: They may renovate the M club in the future to move up the interior face even with the supports.

"They may renovate the M club in the future to move up the interior face even with the supports. "

Well that would just be par for the course. I also think it is ridiculous that the supports arent flush with the sides of the M-Club instead of in front. They didnt have to get a bigger screen, they could still have something aesthetically appropriate on either side of the screen, including advertisements. In other words, it doesnt have to be all screen all the way across. Why do we always have to "get used to" **** around here. Why cant we just start off with something good. I still havent "gotten used to" the Hunter Henry Center. I am glad we are getting the scoreboard, but this is just another minor 17-up that could have been remedied with some forethought.

Everyone will freak out when they see this thing by the Auburn game with the base structure. It spans farther than the width of the field and is 135 feet to the height. That's just about the top of the upper deck for you eng. grads. They didn't skimp on anything. This thing is the real deal and by the Kent. game, you will see something that will be the talk of the town

A dogtrot house is one that was built small at first and then expanded upon over time in the direction of available property, usually towards the back. The end result was a long skinny house. Or in our case, a vertical one with newer elements on higher and higher stilts.
