Will The Intimidator be moved to the new Alex Box Stadium?

Or will we have a new "Intimidator" built into the new Box?

Is it really all that intimidating having a sign out in right field that lists titles from when the current players were playing Dixie Youth ball?
Add another title, then put it back up with all of them. Otherwise, you look like BAMA...living off of old glories.

kinda agree...after we win the title this year we need to have a new Intimidator with Mike VI growling...

Let it die. That was two coaches and 8 years since the last one. Time to move on and we seem to be doing a pretty good job of it.

WOW! Never realized a tribute to one of the greatest accomplishments in college baseball was such a joke or eyesore to so many people.
Yes, the last title was a LONG 8 years ago but does that mean those accomplishments shouldn't be recognized? Guess we should remove the flags from Tiger Stadium showing off the 58 & 03 National Championships, I mean 58? Who even remembers 1958. Most of the fans in the stadium weren't even alive in 58. And the 03 NC...that was almost 6 years ago & another coach,let's pull that old rag down.
Maybe this sign shouldn't be the focal point of the field. Maybe it shouldn't even be called the "Intimidator" but what is wrong with displaying, in grand fashion, a run of national titles that will probably never be matched again. Every team that wins National CHampionships displays that accomplishment for all to see, fans, players, coaches, both home team & visitors. And I don't think that sign puts us in the same catagory as Bama, at least ALL 5 of those NC's are legit. I've been going to baseball games for a long time & I can tell you, most visiting fans I talk to, all say that the "Intimidator" is unbelievable. And what about recruits? Don't you think when they are walked out on the diamond, they don't see that display & think, damn, this is what playing college baseball is about.
I just think that the sign needs to come along to the new stadium. Should it be as big? Should it be the focal point of the outfield? Should it be called the "Intimidator"? Probably not to all of those questions but regardless of who was playing T-ball or who was coaching back then, I see NO shame in saying it LOUD & PROUD. And that fellas, is just my opinion.

You can and should display your titles but the "intimidator" should not come to the new stadium.
Just my opinion.

I agree we should show off our titles with pride. they should make the sign BIGGER because if it aggravates so called tiger fans it must really piss off visitors....thats the point! you need somthing there to remind visitors where they are and the tradition that lies on the field that sign over looks. its called the intimadator because of the amount of championship are on there, you cant win one title and slap it on a sign and expect it to scared thus the name of thd sign! geaux tigers

I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't want our championship history displayed in the new stadium? Every program, college or pro, in every sport, displays their championship history somewhere inside their stadium. Our championship history just happens to include five titles, so it needs a bigger space than most.
All those that don't want it inside the stadium are just stupid and wrong. It will be in the new stadium ... maybe not the same format as the huge "intimidator sign", but it will be in there, just as all of our SEC titles and CWS appearances will be displayed somewhere in the stadium ... as they should be.
And there's really no argument against it. You win championships, you put them up for all to see, simple as that. It's what you play the games for ... to win championships. And when you do (win championships), you honor them indefinitely. Case closed, end of discussion.

these guys probably think duke and unc need to take down all of their national championship and final four banners

If we are not moving the Intimidator to the new Box, then we need to make sure that we have a pretty good idea of what that outfield panorama is going to look like. We have an obligation to the world of college baseball to be a special place to play the game. Any ideas on what that outfield beyond the wall will or should look like?

view over the centerfield wall looks pretty good...

pretty sure you're missing the point.

exactly
showing the titles via flags or modest signs=good
putting up another obnoxious intimidator of something we haven't resembled in quite some time=stupid

yeah im not sure how people in this thread made the connection that just because some dont want the intimidator also means they want no mention throughout the park of the national titles. helluva a leap imo but then again this is the rant.

First of all, "obnoxious intimidator" is your opinion, and you are in the minority with that opinion. Second of all, we've been to three CWS since our last title in 2000 (and were one win away from a fourth in Bertman's last season), so the back-half of your assertion is simply wrong.

the intimidator was nice at the old park but something tells me it would look pretty tacky at the new one.

We def need to show off our NC's, but unless we win another this year, I say we need to retire the "intimidator" NC's from 8-15 years ago don't really hold any water to any modern visiting teams IMO.
If Bryant-Denny had an "intimidator" that showed off their NC's from many years passed would any of yall be "intimidated?"
