South Endzone Jumbotron....WTF

[bonedaddy401]

Where did the border over the top go? Looked pretty ragged without it. Something was sticking up out of the top left side of the net that was covering the top of it.

The screen was jacked up the whole game. When it worked its very obvious its not the same quality the north screen is.

That was the only negative I have to offer other than the horrible black tarps people have been asked to pay to tailgate under. Couldn't even get the flat black ones huh? Had to go with the shinny trash bag variety?

Clean it up before LSU.

Geezus, did you take your meds today?

 

[bonedaddy401]

Geezus, did you take your meds today?

It looked like ****. You ok with it looking like ****?

I've heard the south screen needs to be totally replaced an updated anyway. I could barely see what I needed to during the Bullock Toyota ad. Must be addressed.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

You must not have seen the message board on the ribbon bar then, if those are your only complaints. For the past 10 days we heard from ESPN all about Alabama this and Florida State that so then we get to our game and for nearly all the 1 st qtr. the NCAA scoreboard and Gane Stats were working fine. Then at the start of Qtr 2 the only thing you get to see is 17'n

1 Alabama
Vs
3 Fla State 7:00 PM

The rest of the damn game. We got so sick of it in section 2, we started making jokes about it and asking if anyone knew when Alabama Played and WHO do they play? It is sickening enough to have to hear about Ala damn Bama all the time and then it is stuck on OUR stats and scoreboard for the last 3 Qtrs.


Did Strikl.... I mean Intense Bastard have all this stuff checked out BEFORE the game?

Will

1 Alabama
Vs
3 Fla State 7:00 PM

STILL be on e board when we tee it up against LSU?

 

[bonedaddy401]

Keep em sharp Bruiser, I like it

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

It looked like ****. You ok with it looking like ****?

Will there ever be a point where our fanbase won't complain about anything?

 

[Forrest4Moore]

Don't even get me started on our ribbon boards. Worst use of ribbon boards in the league. Never have any real time individual stats for the game.

Not it to mention 80% of the ribbon board space is used to advertise the 10 different community banks in the Golden Triangle.

Oh, and did anyone know what time Bama and FSU played, or what they were ranked? Bc if not, it was on the ribbon board for two hours straight.

Stay out of this Wizard, the men are talking

Half *** and pixelated is no way for a jumbotron to go through life. Time for an intervention. Cohen style.

 

[AlCoDog]

I agree on the Jumbotron. It looked terrible. Like a giant version of a ****** old big screen tv that's going to go out completely at any minute.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

I don't get why we can't have a small section of the board or ribbon board dedicated to real-time team stats. Rushing yards, passing yards, total yards is all I'm asking for:

/at least we have them rotating on the ribbon board.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Yikes

I've heard the south screen needs to be totally replaced an updated anyway

How old is it? I thought it was only 4-5 years old. It's already time to replace it?

It was installed in 2008 but was not fully operational until 2009. So the screen would be about 9 years old.

 

[DAWG61]

No. People like to ***** and they like to offer constructive criticism.

 

[Dawg1976]

I've got underwear older than that. Should be good for another 9 years.....

Of course not. It will say:

CO State
vs
1 Alabama 6:00 PM

 

[57stratdawg]

Wasn't it messing up at the end of last year too? Did we not turn it on for 9 months?

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Where was the new sound system? All of the sound was still coming out of south Video board.

.....other than the horrible black tarps people have been asked to pay to tailgate under. Couldn't even get the flat black ones huh? Had to go with the shiny trash bag variety?

If you're going to profit off of MSU fans, at least make an effort for the product to look good. Candidly, no one cares about your brand identity and that you like black tents- they just need a place to tailgate on gameday and you happen to have the contract (for now). Let's see some in-tents effort to get the black ones down to Hattiesburg or the Harvey victims and find some maroon and white tents for the future.

P.S. I heard most confederate soldiers used black tents.

 

[Drebin]

He makes valid points here.

 

[Mafiadawg]

The shiny black tents are an abomination. Who the hell from the university signed off on that? It's hotter under the tent than outside of it. It's not about brand identity either because on the Southern tradition website the tents are maroon and white in the pics. If a university prides itself on doing things first class, that crap has got to go. Gamedays on campus are some of the most first hand exposure a school gets. You cant have the most crowded part of the campus looking like crap. MSU sure does some things right but we also make some dumbass decisions that shouldn't be that hard. Surely the tent color was in the contract. The aerial photos during prime time games are going to be embarrassing if it's not fixed.

 

[paindonthurt_]

I could overlook how crappy they look, but when you tailgate under one, it's as hot as sumlins seat.

10 degree difference between shade at ground level and shad at 6 to 8 feet under that tent.

 

[Digging dog]

Have to agree that the 4 squares that were out of sorts it seemed like somebody was trying to correct it was a great distraction.
I actually had to watch the game. ****

 

[RocketDawg]

I wasn't at the game Saturday, so can't speak on the south endzone video board. But in the past, I've always though it was much better than the north one. The one on the north side always seems stretched horizontally to me so everything is out of proportion.

I think my opinion (and senses) are in the minority.

 

[8dog]

Our gameday committee which i think is still led by amy tuck. The ath dept shockingly distances itself from that comm. "oh thats the gameday comm, i dont have anything to do with that"

why not? Your long term future for tkt sales and donations depends in large part to a terrific gameday experience. Everything about it should concern you. Yet we let non athl people award an rfp to some guy draping garbage bags over tent skeletons who by all accounts wasnt prepared to deliver on the product he sold.

The first of many big screen tvs purchased with Sixpack proceeds. Did you really just put it on the curb? Or is that an old picture?

 

[00Dawg]

That was my family's reaction.

Several things around the stadium felt like someone had just unlocked the gates, turned on the lights, and assumed everything would work like it did last year.

 

[Allday.sixpack]

I've bought countless tent canopies, I agree the shining black tents were out of place, but I also understand that mildew stains are worse. Flat black would be a better compromise.

 

[jdbulldog]

Make it a first class game day experience with no exceptions. Black tents? Come on, give me a break. Fix the tron or leave it in the off position. There are no excuses.

 

[kired]

I'd almost rather turn it off if they can't fix those four squares. It's only got to work for 7 games a year - at most 6 hours per game, that's 42 hours per year that we need that thing working. Is that really asking too much?

 

[3000lbchicken]

You mean the "RueTube"?

 

[RocketDawg]

I've bought countless tent canopies, I agree the shining black tents were out of place, but I also understand that mildew stains are worse. Flat black would be a better compromise.

That's a false sense of security though. They're just as dirty as white ... you just can't see the dirt as well.

It debuted during Croom in 2008.

Clean it up before LSU.

They did take the whole Strakvegas to a new level.

 

[MSUDawgFan86]

I would just like the damn panels or whatever not be out in the middle of the screen. That's what looks like ****. It's the first game of the year. Dear god call geek squad or something.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

I could barely see what I needed to during the Bullock Toyota ad.

$3000 cash back and 1.99% APR financing with Approved Credit

/You're welcome

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

No. People like to ***** and they like to offer constructive criticism.

Fair answer and true.

 

[RocketDawg]

Could feel pretty good in late October/November though.

 

[RocketDawg]

Were the LEDs malfunctioning, or did they purposely have "panels" in the middle of the screen?

 

[MSUDawgFan86]

I guess the LED screens in the middle went out. It screwed the picture up on everything shown. If I were advertising my business on there I'd ask WTF and for a refund/discount.
