Not too much GMTM. I'm always reading...just don't post much. I try to stay out of all the stupid stuff that goes on. Just figured this was a subject that I could discuss. I also like to wait until I have real info (unlike some people who I won't mention) before I say anything.

Hear me and hear me good. Whoever is responsible for the execution of this idea deserves a 10% raise immediately. As ugly as the logo on the court was, this was contributing to the all around hidiousness far more than any other feature in the arena. Bravo.
there were many attempts to increase the budget for the vines many times, it was shot down time after time(and those names wont be mentioned)

I still think we should bring back the burger king crown in the middle....that was classic and made all fans feel like there was a real fire on the court!

Very few things that have been brought to the board before they hit the papers turn out to be false....this board is actually very creditable with a very high truth rate

Hey! Nothing stupid goes on around here.

Are the lines blue with a red outline? Those red borders along the lane are going to have to grow on me.

My only thing is that if they are going to have red lines for the 3 point arcs and the free throw circles, why not just make the half court line and center circle red too?

When is the next time that you are coming to come back up here?

My guess would be that the center court hasn't been painted yet until the logo is on. That may just be tape right now. Of course, I haven't been over there to see it, so it's just a guess.

I think the center court stuff is only a temporary line. I'm assuming once they get the logo painted in there they'll finish the lines up to match. Any ideas on the logo? Please tell me it's not going to be the size of the giant Jayhawk. I like it bigger than the center circle but not as big as:

Here will be the final look.

It's going to be nice!!!!!

It has taken some time, but it finally will get completed this time:) The Yellow around the court will be dark grey padding like you would find in a weight room.

I still can't open the large version. Probably something with the image hosting place. Just have to wait till they fix it.

I was earlier but can't anymore. If you click on the red x you get it says this:
News: Datacenter transfers will be causing outages to image viewing/uploading during the next few days. Once the move is complete we expect everything back and faster than before.
We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience

I can open it now. The picture is a photo shopped version of what it will look like I think. I don't know because I am not in Lynchburg right now but it looks like a photo we had on the old site and one that Coach Dunton showed me when he was asking my opinion on what the paint should look like.
