Wylie's New Jumbo-Tron

[nobogey72]

I am so mad. I just found out that it is ONLY going to be a LITTLE BIT BIGGER than the one at Shotwell. However, it is a LOT BIGGER than the ones at Graham and Brownwood. I guess we spent so much on our new 5 story entrance (elevator, etc.) that we had to trim back on the Jumbo-Tron from a XXL to an XL. I am so mad.:D :D

[waterboy]

Got any pictures? I'd feel short-changed, too, if they didn't at least make it as big as Shotwell's.:cool:





Shoot......I'd like to just have one! :mad:

Oh............:mad: Only a "little" bigger? That thang should be as big as the one that going up at the new Cowboy stadium!:eek: Did you not make a big enough donation?!:mad:

Cheap skate!:doh:

Hey, waterboy! Have you not heard that banks do not have anymore money?:D

I've heard that somewhere before...........but I know it's gotta be a lie! I've been giving them all my money every payday for years.......as has nearly everybody!:D

I just think that people like nobogey spread those rumors.......so people ain't surprised when the money is gone!:D Of course, bankers have to keep up appearances like they have money......so that kinda blows their cover. After all, he has to supply milk duds and M&Ms for the wife.:D

nobogey, you should've of made a bigger donation, you cheap-skate! Advertising on the board would pay for itself......wouldn't it?:thinking:



......once again, I wish we just had a ------tron.....maybe even a mini-tron! :mad:

Some of that bank bailout money, hard at work I see.:foul:


On another note: The famed concrete pee troughs in the men’s rooms floors are no more at the Mustang Bowl. :bigcry:
Actually I just noticed the buildings had been knocked down, but the slabs with pee troughs intact may have been left for posterity’s sake. Perhaps a planter would be a good use for them. Stink weed should grow well in them. :D

[slingshot]

Heard (from a reliable source) last weekend that a local power company was 'sponsoring' the jumbotron and paying for nearly all of it with advertising rights.

[BreckTxLonghorn]

Why doesn't Wylie put the money to good use, and instead of buying a jumbotron spend a little cash to make sure their radio team has more than one shirt? Cheapos. Hell, even the waterboys wear different outfits week to week.

I certainly hope that the money we're spending on the pressbox and jumbotron doesnt come out of the referee slush fund.

:eek: Yeah, y'all wouldn't wanna see that happen! Before you know it they'll be purposely making bad calls against y'all.;) I can see it now........"Ref Blows Call, Wylie Loses Game!" Referee says smugly, "Hey, they robbed us so we'll rob them!":D




Disclaimer: Referees don't "purposely" blow calls so this story is completely fictitious.;)

Hey Stang! You know very well Nobogey has been working hard at his parttime job to get this Jumbotron (Mr. Burger waving at people).

No, it doesn't. In fact, the referee fund is permanantly endowed. It's kind of funny, but the City of Abilene is well known for being very very picky about codes and inspections and that kind of stuff. For example when we built the doghouse (which is 99% steel and concrete) the City code required sprinkler system by the fire marshall. So our Sup. (after losing his appeal) moved the plans about a qtr. mile to the east which put it out of the city limits. To add to our homeside stands, we were going to have to redo the existing stands which was going to be a huge expense. So, they came up with a design where the new part is not connected to the existing part. So, I'm guessing that Wylie is now on the City's s--- list. (Which I'm sure we were already on)

OK, in one thread we've revealed our 'Referee Slush Fund', and our 'Dodging City Codes & Zoning Restrictions Fund'

Should we go ahead and reveal our 'Mess with us and we'll have you dropped to 2A' fund? ooops, did I say that out loud?

OK if I must. The actual screen size of Wylie's is going to be 2ft. taller and 1.5 ft wider than Shotwells, and, Shotwell's is bigger than Gordon Wood's. So there.:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

Nobogey,

Is bigger better?

I really don't know. But, I do know that there is a manufacturer that offered to put one up for us at no cost, but they got all the ad. revenue till they got all their money back and then it was a 50/50 split after that. Plus, they would sell all the ads. We did not choose that option with the thinking that the ad revenue would be better for the school in the long run just to do it ourselves. We'll see. I'm sure that the general public and all the football haters will assume that it came out of tax dollars, which it didn't. It is 100% private $. All I know is that it is WAY bigger than Brownwood's and somewhat bigger than Shotwell's. It's huge!!!!!!!! I mean huge!!!!!!!!:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

I'm not sure if you are serious or joking?

[squid]

Not joking. I know a student trainer and they chose their outfits for next year. They were told to hold off for a little while, they may be going UnderArmour also....

True! That's what I heard @ the Whataburger!:D

[Daddy D 11]

I heard from a reliable little birdie that Wylie might be going Under Armour next year, sounds like I'm not the only one hearing that? That'd be nice, it's always better to lose in Week 2 @ LH when you look good....

Oh, and this jumbo tron mumbo jumbo is a load of crap:D

Oh it's a "Load" all right. Whether or not it's crap is yet to be decided, but my gut tells me that the word "crap" will not be one of the adjectives used to decribe it once it's up and running. In fact it will only add to the traditional and constant $$$ bashing the Wylie community has grown use to, even though the Scoreboard and the Doghouse will both be projects that required "NO" school funds. As far as the Pressbox and added seating, I think that was a school funded project.

All I know is that once it's finished, it will be one of the best 3A facilities in the state.

I understand that you Sweetwateriniains think a lot of Gordon Wood Stadium, but I think baring some late updates that Bulldog Stadium should A-#1 in the district.

That is, if you were talking about Brownwood, or maybe even Graham. Surely you weren't referring to that field at the bottom of a concrete hole with the Pink endzones, were you? Surely not:D

Actually there is not a stadium in the district that doesn't have chain link fence around their stadium.

"AND" from what I hear there will be a brick wall down the side where the press box is being built. As for the visitors side. Aside from the extremely nice brand new restrooms built underneath the remodeled stands, the entrance may still be a trailor park entrance, but it usually fits the patrons who are entering :D

I guess you shouldn't have known this. But Mustang Bowl is

where the new main entrance will be located.
