bfb;
think some of the music guys could team up with the engineering guys and get that doggone PA system fixed at EM Stevens? perhaps you have some influence there?

Ron Boerger · June 07, 2006, 04:59:14 PM

I think the amount of complaining I've done over the years about the press box/scoreboard/stadium/field has eliminated any "influence" I might have had.

In all seriousness, I see at least some of these issues being addressed when the stadium is refurbished after the current capital campaign completes. Only $85M to go ... get those checks in now.

One word, possibly two:

TigerTron

You know, instead of Jumbotron?

Still, I'm wondering. Will the councourses be connected to spiral ramps?

Look for some interesting, yet predictable news today from the SCAC!

I looked on the SCAC Banner and saw that they had not added the Austin College Kangaroo or the Colorado College Tiger, but still had the RHIT Elephant on the masthead. $:-\$

So, is it today that BSC is added as a member to the SCAC? Will the press release mention the addition of football at BSC?

Anything happening at Oglethrope?

Ralph,
Great post! Let's just say that mascots are not what to look for.

Rose-Hulman is a member of the SCAC until July 1.

Football in 2007-08? Or did I misinterpret the press release.

Thanks SCAC-SID and congratulations.

I am happy for BSC, the SCAC and for D3!

The "BSC Case Study" will focus more light on the benefits of the D3 brand of intercollegiate athletics.

Hello Bubba! Welcome to the football board!

Are the Petrels going to add football?

To quote that great and profound American philosopher, Meatloaf,

"Two out of three ain't bad."

It's the offseason!

I wish OU would restart the football program, but I'm not holding my breath (and if the school is looking into it, they haven't said anything to the alums). Maybe the addition of BSC to the conference (along with us having an AD that we hired away from a football school) might get something going.
