Didn't Lee Corso get his IU team in front of their scoreboard for a photo op at halftime when they were leading OSU? Of course they went on to lose that one but few other coaches would be crazy enough to do that.

Lee said his IU team went up something like 7-0 over osu. He called a TO and had one of the managers go out and click a photo. Woody, according to Lee, was irate and ran the score up on them. Classic story. Lee said he wanted a photographic record him winning against Woody.

It gone.

Has uc released anything about when it'll be finished? I assume it won't be ready for FCC game.

It will be ready for our first game.

It won't be ready for this Tuesdays FCC game. They hinted at a temporary alternative for that game, whatever that means.

I assume it's only a few HDMI cords, what's the delay!

Update from today, looks like setting up temporary board in front of CCM for Tuesday FCC game

CIII's donation didn't include the wiring ?

BTW, who's paying for the 'temporary' scoreboard? More foregone concession revenues?

I would gamble that FCC is paying for the temporary screen, seeing as they will be the only ones using it.

Insiders are saying that Amazon was out of stock so they're working with other suppliers.

Why do you even need a scoreboard for soccer? Just have a few pieces of cardboard with a "1" and "0" stenciled on and hang them on a railing.

It's not like you need to keep track of the time either since the ref will just arbitrarily add however many minutes to the end of the game.

I suppose you would want some sort of video so you can play the ten seconds of excitement in a 90 minute match over and over again.

I'm glad with the temp board, the Bailey will actually be able to see the screen for once..
