Re: Being there vs. on television

Perhaps they could construct a metal screen camera stand on the two light poles nearest to the press box. Don't know about any weight constraints on those poles though.

Re: Being there vs. on television

As someone noted all you need are TV deck cranes which are used at every televised golf tournament. They are absolutely portable. Ideally those would be placed on the West Side but I would guess they could be positioned on north end zone and East side as well (although It's already pretty busy over...

Yes as sader has said. I'm old school though. I remember the Double A days. UNO was at a lover level back in the Ron Greene days.
Bottom line they are not under the same transfer rules even though they are considered DI.

I think basketball and baseball are different animals. Southern in the past has been to the NCAA's in baseball and basketball more than most because of the autobid.

Re: Southeastern Game Week Thread

Let me try to explain. Under the old system you had D1 and DII. Tulane was DI and SELA was DII. The NCAA changed how that was classified. So now instead of DI and DII all those schools are considered DI but under DI you have FBS old DI Tulane and FCS DII SELA. The same old rules apply. If you want ...

Re: Southeastern Game Week Thread

You are incorrect. SLU was not in division II. They were division 1 and they still are. All through the 1970's it was DII, then they dropped football from 1986 to 2002 altogether. Then they hired Hal Mumme in 2003 to bring back football at the Double A level.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast...

So Cowen inherited a #34 academic ranking and a #7 football ranking only to destroy both in a short time.

Well, if RD acts quickly- like now- and hires an important coach, we still have time to get Campen and some other great local talent. This is bizarre but word on the street is that Tulane WVB has made no effort to recruit Kampen who was Gatorade MVP in Louisiana last year and has been dominant play...
