Don't worry, attendance will probably double by first game.Floor looks great, but attendance looks to be at an all time low??
A clean slate has been needed for a LONG time. Not just the floor. It will be tough with a shortened recruiting season, portaling, NIL, etc. But we certainly have renewed energy from the President, the AD , and the new head coach.
Carson just responded to the tweet that Coach Konkol should probably tease the fans by showing them what it will look like. I love our new admin engaging fans and being connected in different ways.
I didn't mind George Washington & Northern Kentucky at all, but it's easy to go a bit too far. All you have to do is compare those two schools to UNLV to see where that fine line ends.
I know the banter between Carson and Konkol is cheesy, but I think it's pretty funny, and I am glad to see they are engaging the public with some humor.
I hope they’ve set up a GoPro camera to capture a timelapse video of the creation of the new design.
Really good idea! hope it happens! I also hope they consider some of the players' ideas in the
design...Sounds like something Konkol might do........
Tulsa's team indeed.! I love it!! I wonder if Konkol's graphic design person was involved?? Who ever
did it, did a great job!!

I like the skyline part. Noticed that men’s soccer jerseys also had the skyline. Ties us to the city. Smoo does the same thing. The swirly hurricane part not so much.
Someone suggested on Twitter that the swirly hurricane be added in the middle of the football field as well.
So I got a closer at the video this time on my laptop, and it appears that unlike the rendering, the skyline and swirly are lighter/ natural wood, while the rest of the floor is slightly darker. It looks much more subtle than the drawing. Kendall approves
I agree that the actual court looks better than the rendering. The skyline and swirl aren't nearly as stark a contrast as in the render.
That's the only difference between George Washington/Northern Kentucky and UNLV. Mission accomplished.
The skyline is ok. The buildings are a bit weird. Can’t tell what is up with the BOK tower which is square topped And the tallest of them all. Some of the smaller buildings are just shapes that dont really exist in the skyline.
I’m shocked you don’t like it. Shocked!
Mucho impressed. The hurricane also looks like a crazy throwing star, I like that too.
But he's not being negative, again.
Shuffle it off on huffycane, or whomever.
Why am I not surprised that you do? I guess the defense of Haith for years just goes to show that you're willing to put up with suboptimal products. Why not just go all out if you're bungle the skyline. Put the Empire State Building or the Burj Khalifa on there.
Meh. If you don't want me to criticize then do things the with care and attention to detail. I'm tired of half assed products put on our floor. (Literally and figuratively)
Maybe I only care because I actually grew up in Tulsa and the skyline is familiar and special to me. If you're going to make it a collage of multiple significant pieces of architecture (which looks like what they tried to do) then make the significant ones stand out independently. If you're going to try to make it a real perspective, then actually use a real perspective (which I don't think the one on the floor is).
….and you haven’t even started on the fact that the swirly looks nothing look a real hurricane….can’t wait for that diatribe
You complain about everything, and can't figure out why people keep pointing it out.
It doesn't have to do with care and attention. You will find something to complain about regardless.
Maybe you might think about proofreading your posts to determine if they are complaints for awhile. I don't post 2 posts out of every dozen posts for similar reasons. I think you do it constantly, partly out of stubbornness. I say this knowing that pointing this out will make you even more stubborn, if possible.
You have some of the nicer more mild mannered guys on this board chiming in from time to time, and you still don't get it.(I'm not one of those guys.)
If Manning was still the coach and his ex-players from the greatest team ever were helping coach, Aston would be thinking that this floor was incredible.
