    I am curious to see where the field level monitors will be. They will be a good size.

    Gies Memorial Stadium

    The way I understood the article they are looking at ideas. That is why the architectural firms were hired. Eventually, When it is altered on the south side to a grander scheme, more than likely the scoreboard becomes the central piece and they build something around it that architecturally...

    Mara reminds me more of Clingan. The length, mobility and passing. They are both large men. Uncanny ability to alter and block shots. Mara will have a good NBA career.

    Morez DID struggle here with fouls. The hand injury also set him back. He will be a good NBA player. I think it worked out for everyone. His time here was very productive and he built on that at Michigan. Good luck to him. No animosity with the exception that he went to SCUM!

    Illini in the Pros (Basketball)

    Spurs in 6. I hope I am wrong but they are stacked and having lived in San Antonio for some 10 years, I can tell you that those people get stoked for two things. SPURS basketball and SPURS basketball! I love Ayo and TJ but not going to happen this year.

    I love all of this. That thing is huge! The bleacher thing would cosmetically look much better. That is for sure. I am wondering if they don't have something under the bleachers that they have to currently have access to and that is why they don't enclose it in the way it should be? For...
