PrintMoratorium on Ackbar Talk
Ivory Tower, Brian Walker's Elbow, One Man to Beat and I decided during last night's Red Cup Radio to put a lid on mascot talk in general. This doesn't mean you're not allowed to talk about Colonel Reb or Ackbar or Seggy Bear or whatever, it just means that we're not going to comment or post on it for a while. You're welcome.
Rebels Battling for Bye | The Sun Herald
Guess what? Tonight's basketball game is actually of fair significance! If the Rebels win tonight (against this LSU team, they should), and take care of business in Fayetteville, they'll have the 2nd seed in the West locked up for the SEC tournament which means an automatic first round bye. If you live on campus and even mildly care about Rebel athletics, you haven't an excuse to miss this game.
Rebels Put High Value on Buckner | Fancy Pants Brandts
From the EotC comes a look at what Buckner brings to our team and how his recovery from injury couldn't have come at a better time. Without Buckner, we only managed to win one game out of four. With him, we actually have a legitimate defensive presence under the basket.
Tyrone Nix Makes a Lot of Money | The Brandts go marching one by one
I link this because it's interesting, but also because it's astounding. Either David Brandt has actually begun to police his comments threads, or the stupids have vacated his corner of the internets (if that's a case, a few obviously took shelter here for a while). His comments have had surprisingly little poorly written debates on mascotology and have been generally TSUN-free for a few days now.
Pete Boone discusses future plans for football stadium | The Daily Mississippian
I know we've discussed this before at some point, but Boone is once again talking stadium expansion. I am all for it, so long as I can watch Nutt gesticulate wackily on the PoweTron without an interrupted view.

Attendance
Does anyone really expect attendance average to go up in 2010? Has anyone looked at the schedule First, we have Auburn and then we have…State? The home stand is terrible. We will be luck to average 52,000.

For football?
Um…
Pretty sure we have a home football game before freakin’ October.
And here's a lighthouse keeper being beheaded by a laser beam!
too literal
maybe it was a poor choice of words…but what I was saying was Auburn and (if you consider this a “big game”) State are our only really big games this year. I wasn’t saying Auburn was the “first” game

Never understood...
…why a fan would even look at the names of the teams we’re playing when deciding whether to buy tickets. Just makes no sense. Hey “fans,” guess what? We’re hosting 4 SEC teams and a a few non-cons. That’s all you need to know.
I know what you're saying about "real fans"......
but look at the attendance for the Alabama game versus the Northern Arizona game……..Unfortunately, it does matter who we play.

Stands may not
be full but the tickets will be sold for the less than desirable games. Ticket sales not butts in seats will expand the stadium.
That's right, but
Boone is smarter than people think. This seems like a ploy to get people to buy tickets. It’s the carrot in front of the horse.
“Well, if you buy more tickets, then we can talk about expansion.”
He talked about putting in the two missing pie pieces three years ago after a couple winning seasons, and he’s continuing the same kind of schpiel here.
I hate to say I’ll believe it when I see it, but I can’t conceptualize how they will build AROUND the jumbo-tron without it looking like a big pile of shit.
If I predict it, there's an 50 percent chance it happens.

Me either.
Sorry I screwed that up
I accidentally deleted part of the formatting when I was pasting in the quote. We’re going to blame that gaffe on the lack of caffeine today.
How feasible would it be...
To make whatever supports the Powe-tron higher, and build in front of it? Is it totally impossible to adjust it? Sorry, I’m a law student, not an architect. It would seem like you could partially take it apart, build a taller thingy, and put it back together, right? The real expensive part is the screen itself, isn’t it? If I’m totally stupid, feel free to tell me so.
If I understand correctly it seems like they’re wanting to build around the Powetron. This will look stupid, but what else can we possibly do?
There's a darkness on the edge of town.
From what I understand...
The Powe-tron is adjustable.

This.
Also, it’s not right up against those bleachers, but actually set back a good bit. They’ve got a surprisingly good bit of room with which to work.
