In the 80's the paint was peeling off the scoreboard in the football stadium, so they sent a guy out there with a lift truck and a can of purple paint and a brush. Went it dried you see all the brush marks . . . the Un-KstateO it the next week by sending a real paint crew.
Few people would notice, but the 2 auxillary scoreboards on each end of Ahearn Fieldhouse, since taken down were about 2/10's of a second slower than the main scoreboard. I remember going into Ahearn Fieldhouse and seeing the AD Larry Travis and a couple of guys running down the clock a whole bunch of times, and they basically saying Eff it and quit.
