The seats look real doom'y with the focused lighting only on the court.

why on earth would you put a giant windows 95 mouse in your gradient-shaded logo with your disgusting sounding name all over your favorite school's basketball court? makes no sense to me.

Any idea how much they are paying to have that nasty thing all over the place? It still upsets me that they cover up the nice embroidered player/coach seats with it.

Is it just me, or does the darker stained wood look much better this year?  Is it the new lighting, or did they re-finish the floor when they put on the new Big 12 logos?

It definitely didn't seem as drastic of a color difference on my computer through my sweet VLC feed. (thanks JMarks!)

My theory though? I thought I hated the new BIGXII Tapout logo. . .but it actually looks really nice on the floor. I think that detracts the eyes from the darker stain.

I believe they refinished the floor in the offseason.

i think the OOD has looked great on tv the first two games. guessing it's just because of the lighting change.

When "make noise" strobes in the OOSB(score board), I have a physical reaction to it.  I can't look straight at it.  It hurts.

not sure if they refinished the floor in the offseason.  but, the entire floor (light and dark) looks lighter.  I think it has something to do with the brighter lights. 

either way, looks much better.

Had to replace my steering column at Briggs once. They ended up breaking my blinker and cracking my plastic dash piece in the process. They can go eff themselves. I wish they would go advertise at KU.

Can we make this viral? I'm ready for some new mega-sponsor with a bad logo to ruin all our pretty things.

Maybe the most disappointing thing to me, as I continue my walk towards the BID bandwagon based on current events.

Is that no one is going to want to step up and fund the needed remodeling of Bramlage if Bruceketball continues to push the needle to burn in stage above "Down" on the John Currie Trend-O-Meter.

Eventually the BSFS total overhaul will run its course, and to be blunt:  This facilities junkie just isn't going to get his fix on a track resurfacing or some improvements to the baseball field.
