Come on guys - you really don't think this would rock?

Okay...neat :nana:

Poor choice of words.

Wouldn't it be cool if everyone yelled a big GEAUX TIGERS on every kickoff? Maybe I should've just worded it that way.

While everyone is turning their hats in the air screaming "Goooooooo...", after kickoff everyone yells "TIGERS!"

I think it would sound neat.

I just signed up to post about this. I saw the other thread about this the other day and emailed Herb Vincent and Verge Ausberry about it today. Their response was essentially that LSU has contracts with these advertisers for the next several years and half of the big screen will continue to be occupied by these ads.

This begs the question - why spend so much money (this was part of a $7 million project) on upgrading a scoreboard to have an HD screen, if you're going to use half of it on permanent ads? Why not spend the money elsewhere, and just hang banners or lit-up ads (like there are on the south end zone scoreboard)? I think they may change their minds if more people contact them about this, and I imagine more people will contact them as the season goes on. The screen picture is great, but they only use half of it on game action or replays 95 percent of the time, which is a bit shortsighted.

They did indicate they will address the small game information at the bottom of the screen so everyone can see it, so that's good, but having the ads like they do is almost laughable.

In any event...
