Wow! Check out the new floor!
- Thread starter University-6
- Start date
Oh that's pretty slick. This is the exact sort of thing I want @Son_Of_Saul 's lottery money to be spent on
Also, just got word of a massive spike in call volume to North Carolina Glass specialists from Coach K's house.
Hopefully it will impress the many recruits that will be there. I guess money is no object now.
Wish we could trademark it so no other college team could duplicate. I suppose we'll just have to be satisfied with being first.
Bet Cal's pissed.

Cow's Sow paid for it.... (Sal didn't rhyme as well.)
I could be wrong but I think there’s a big USA basketball event that weekend which could limit the amount of recruits in attendance.
Still could be cool though.
Be sweet if there was a Peter Griffin voice on corner 3s..
I remember watching the All Star Game festivities thinking "this needs to become someone's permanent floor."
I'm sure many would be nervous that a glitch will occur as a major play occurs during a game, causing problems.

1. Is this permanent?
2. If it is permanent, what happens to the new wooden floor we just got?
3. Is it actually durable enough to handle a full season?
4. How nicely does it play with replay cameras?
Interesting, but seems kinda gimmicky. Kinda like the Las Vegas ball. Maybe I just don't get it. I'll have to look up its use.

That looks crazy good. We should get number 9 and recruit the best players just for that high tech futuristic floor alone.
Any chance of this staying. It will be installed. Should be awesome. Anyone seen one
I don't scream for kids to get off my grass. However, I do have a negative question. Does the floor increase the chance of injuries? I know the NBA used it, but I admit to being clueless how they used it.
Pope said the Blue/White game will be a full competitive practice. BBM is usually a glorified introduction to the team. I'm all for using the floor for 3 pt contest, dunk contest, etc... However, a knee/ankle injury at BBM is not worth the new shiny penny.
I'm sure Pope's crew knows all the details about the floor and what should/should not take place.

This may be the same floor, or company/technology, that they used for the NBA All-Star game here in Indy.
This is not permanent, and just for fun.

Very innovative--hope players and recruits like it. I think it's unique.
So, if the manufacturer's listed facts - as posted by Smashcat above - are correct, what are the drawbacks of this kind of floor vs wood. For instance, can it be removed for other events or is it so strong that isn't even necessary (I suppose it's possible to get glass/glass like thick enough to withstand anything that would be scheduled for Rupp).
Anyone know when tickets go on sale. It's usually a week or 2 before. Being on Oct 11th it's coming up.
I believe I heard that it will be this Friday. But I haven't confirmed that and I'm just going off my recollection.
The floor is just for BBM. This isn't permanent. Everyone relax.
Maybe the floor will cause the blue hairs to have a mass heart attack and finally free up some premium seats for the proletariat class.
The Sphere in Las Vegas is a sight to behold. You should check it out if you’re in that area, it’s amazing.
Have you considered learning how to use the internet?
I wonder Is it temporary because of the cost or the NCAA won’t allow it?
Would be so cool to be permanent.

OP is well adapted to the blank posts as I do recall another recent one of these.
You are annoying as ****!!!!

When the NBA all star thread talked about this floor, there was some discussion. That from a teaching perspective, it could be great. Lines and arrows on the floor during practice to show players where to go, etc. Instead of drawing up inbounds plays, it just appears on the floor while working on them during practice.
I wonder how much it cost to rent this thing for the event and if this has been used since the all star game.

Adou Thiero shat himself last year on the team's bus ride on the way to the Louisville game.
And you know what the worst part was, beyond the ungodly smell? He tried denying that he poopied his pants and said that he'd been pranked -- that it was actually D.J. Wagner who took a dump in Adou's pants. He went on to bizarrely explain that the night before D.J. must have taken a dookie in Adou's pants, and then Adou put the pants on the next morning without realizing there was poo inside. But no one believed him because he didn't smell all that morning and he didn't smell when they first got on the bus, but twenty minutes into the trip it came on like a wave. It almost got heated between Adou and D.J. You know, a lot of folks around the program lost a ton of respect for Adou that day since he didn't own up to making the pile of poop that was found in his trousers. The poop was his and he knows it.

Leadbelly has three bodies buried around his yard right now.
I believe it’s vision thing for him and a settings piece. If you reply to his post and scroll over top of it, you can see what he wrote. I think he can view it fine on his end and forgets that we can’t see it.
Can we have a floor with the classic K or the OG wildcat logo. I don’t care if it’s penis tongue. That logo is the best.
If the glass floor is twice as elastic as a wood floor, does that mean that the ball bounces higher and players jump higher? How would that affect players moving from this floor to another teams floor?
