I hate that. The clock is a component of the game, I don't like eliminating a component of at the game, during the game.
I would've taken Doug but I wanted his candidacy to get Currie/admin folks to think a little further outside the box. I would think OSU has the resources to do better.
What resources do they have that we don't? Excess of empty orange chairs?
T Boone's fortune. I thought they built a pretty bad ass athletics park there too although maybe we've caught up some.
In terms of basketball facilities, besides the fact that GIA may have a better look with the brick and all orange predominately empty chair back seats. They don't have anything on us from a basketball facilities perspective. That's the only thing a b-ball coach is going to care about.
Our practice/admin facility is one of the nicest ones in the country and our game day dressing rooms and game day sports medicine facilities as well as the post game press room just got a million dollar make-over, and of course we just put in a $5 million-plus dollar AV/Scoring/Lighting system.
Yeah, T Boone Pickens isn't an open checkbook, I'm not sure he's ever given anything directly to basketball. When they got the GIA renovation along with their practice facility that was a part of the overall expanded athletics facility. K-State and frankly Texas Tech have committed a lot more to basketball, in everyway, than OSU has.
I always viewed OSU as K-State with T Boone's money but in hindsight, I formed that opinion years ago and it is probably dated at best.
Until they spent the money in some kind of university/city partnership (I think that was the case) to upgrade GIA. Between what K-State spent on Bramlage and expanding the football stadium in 1998, that was more than double what OSU spent on facilities in the previous 4 decades. What was to become T. Boone Pickens Stadium was a rusty nasty place prior.

Considering the only lapse Baylor has had this entire season was this past week, how bad do you all think we are? I'm disappointed, but they are still ranked number 1 until Monday, but will not drop much. I wanted to win badly. Wes and Wade seem ineffective today. Wade was so damn afraid, and Wes tried to do it all himself at times. When they went to playing as individually rather than as a team they were bad. When they played together they looked really decent.

If this is truly due to all the weight being center and to the back, whoever "engineered" it better already be out of the country.
Some engineer put their PE stamp on it, and he/she is mumped if the staff did their part in getting the right weight range on board.
False. The only PE stamps required for stuff like this (in KS at least - California, Ohio and Florida might have different requirements based on the density of parks) are the structural engineer, civil engineer and the MEP engineer. The structural engineer holds no liability for the operation of the ride, just the structural soundness of the physical ride itself. Did the ride topple over and fall to the ground? No.
These attractions hire a firm to design the rides, but they often times aren't licensed professional engineers due to the (somewhat) loose restrictions on designing rides. Most of the rides in the US are all designed by the same 2 or 3 firms. I've had to deal with them before on certain projects i've been associated with.
Old risers need a serious power washing or something.
did some digging this morning on the limestone field wall. word is that currie wants to save cash and is going to put up a limestone banner similar to what baylor did instead of a real wall.
like this-
the question is, is this enough to satiate the fans clamoring for a wall? it looks good enough on television, so why not? my only request would be that they iron out the wrinkles that you can see on baylor's.
No coach will work here until they are allowed to do what P5 coaches need to do to recruit and manage their players/team.
