The Crooms-tron: Hearing a tasty tidbit that the KFC sign man may have !*@*!* up on his bid price. Supposedly, the amount of steel required to support the damn thing is way more than he budgeted in his bid, and Byrne ain't allowing no change order.

I have to wonder how close the Dak's bid was in the end..
Im just not getting warm fuzzies about it, the longer it is taking.

Not to mention that Daktronics is such a high-respected manufacturer in this area.

crushing the fence. Could we see the new football scoreboard do the same to the Seal Building this fall?

This is way past the point of no return. Someone may have <17> the bid but there is no way it's not going to happen. There is no way Byrne does not get this built before the end of the season.

Thursday night, the new HD jumbotron is still on track for a Septmeber/October power-up.

Also, as a side note, GB was ask about more elevators at DWS: He then said they had gotten an estimate/quote for another elevator and that cost would have been $750,000. That is a lot of damn money for an elevator.

</p>That's what you get when you allow Kentucky Fried Chicken to do the estimating. They should just concentrate on keeping my boneless honey bbq wings warm for me.

But seriously.. what company is KFC? Guessing Centurion or whatever they are called is the C in KFC?
