</p>Looks good. The amazing thing is that the athletic department link says that is the lower truss they are installing.

Of course it's the lower, because if it wasn't, all those windows would be blocked.

And the field looks great. I am loving me some maroon endzone.

2 things:

(1) it's obviously the lower truss, and damn, that thing's going to be a beast.

(2) the maroon endzones look awesome.</p>

That's my point. I thought the bottom was going to be flush with the top of M-club, and how much higher is it going? 84' or however high the screen is? That is going to be an unreal structure.

1 - This program will come of age maybe not this week or this season, but we have the things in place to make an impact in the SEC.

2 - We will catch hell from our fans and opponents until it happens.

I guess that's life at MSU now.

Th eField and BullyTron both look great by the way.

Last week I tried to imagine a board the size of the M Club on top of the M Club. It would be like watching a movie at a drive-in theater. Not that I'm complaining.

Thumbs up on the maroon endzones. The looks lots better.

I don't think it will be too big if you are in the stadium watching the game, but 346 days a year its an aesthetical nightmare.

It reminds me of the commercial where they play 'I WANT IT ALL!!!' and the guy has to check his account to see what size tv he can afford. We're just not scaling back for the wife....

Heard'em say today that Arkansas' video board is only "6 smaller than Texas'. I find that hard to believe. But none the less, Arkansas' board grabs your attention. It isn't overly distracting. However, theirs is further from the field and stands than ours will be.

Anyway, last week heard a couple of guys, who obviously have never heard of the internet, speculating what the construction was about. One said, "I have no idea but it is going to be a big son of a *****."

I think it, like the scoreboard, are centered on the stands. The east and west sides aren't equal distance from the field so the scoreboard and M-club are offset from the field to be equal distance from each side.

And, while these things may look strange for a while, once everyone gets them, they will look just fine.

They should rent movies and show them on the weekends on the board. They could make a few bucks. I'd buy a nuclear hot dog, and a diet coke in the stinky cup and go to the stadium for a movie on saturday night. Lord of the onionrings would look cool up there.

i didn't go, but i think the student association lined it up.

this will sound nerd-lawyer-y, but i don't think they could legally show movies and make money without paying royalties just like theaters. it would probably be more trouble than the school would want to deal with. it is a great idea though. it could make for one hell of a super bowl party.

lawyer school up there where the draft bovines wade across the creek?

They are good at getting around all those legal rules aren't they. Seems like they have a class on how to see the law and ignore it. I think its called "Legal Ethics", or some such thing.

It would be fun to watch it for the egg bowl. Maybe they could sell advertisements and pay Jefferson Pilot back for broadcast rights or something.

I know...shut up...

At least I tried. Where's that naked chicken?

I think probably so. Will the people in sections A, B, U, V, and W even be able to see the thing?
