Title: Anybody Remember the first Big 12 game?
Post by: sonofdaxjones on April 01, 2011, 01:05:50 PM: I remember being out the parking lot tailgating and then walking up to the stadium to look at the new "Jumbotron" that was just put in.

Thinking it was the coolest thing ever.

Subsequent research by me determined that it was the smallest outdoor Sony Jumbotron ever sold, it was also one of the last CRT based Sony Jumbotrons ever sold.

Good times . . . :dubious: :gocho: :dubious: :gocho:

Texas Tech had a punter named Jared Greaser or something, we giggled every time the PA guy said "Greaser"

The new Jumbotron seemed like a big deal at the time, everyone was in awe of it :lol:

There was a really major K-StateO banner hanging on Bramlage.

Post by: chum1 on April 01, 2011, 03:47:54 PM: the stadium was probably the smallest one to get a jumbotron. doesn't the smallest jumbotron make sense? and when you consider how relatively poor we are, we're extremely lucky to have bcs level crap even if it is low end.

Curt and Jake should take note.
