BU Court at the Civic Center

[TheOldTimer]

Or a HUGE BU at center court.

Regarding the original topic, I agree that the court looks awful. I went to the last game with a buddy who only goes to BU games every couple years...the first thing he said (after commenting on the awesome scoreboard) was that the floor looked like what you would see in a high school. The white in the lettering is now the color of a yellow tooth. The center court "Bradley" looks like it was done about 15 years ago. There is no character or style.

Since we seem to be placing random blame on things lately, here goes nothing:

It's all Ron Ferguson's fault (though he is awesome). It's also partially the fault of Kerry Burrell, Pat Donahue, Jamar Smiley and the Bradley Bobcat. And the Molinarmy...all of them. Oh, and the Prairie Home Alliance blimp operator...can't forget him.

I can't tell what Paul Herzog says too. The speakers are always muffled.

I blame the PJ Star, the NCAA, ISU, the Peoria City Council, the Department of Health and Human Services, the IMG Academy, the late Myles Brand, Kelvin Sampson, John Calipari, Bob Knight, the terrible players Mo recruited, the terrible seasons Mo had as coach, Ken Kavanagh, Joanne Glasser, Joe Stowell, Al Biancalana, ESPN, Jeff Rabey, Lance Stemler, Danny Granger, Carl Sommerville, that punk that started a fight with Taylor Brown, that girl that wrongfully accused Dan Ruffin of pushing her, Duane Broussard, Richie McKay, injuries, Steve Merfeld, the BCS...

paranoid people find one thing to obsess about not 100, so only one paranoia seems evident here....

Get Friar Tuck to paint it, the demand for cheese and wine is unbelievable.

That should be a hint to him.

Call me crazy.........but I go to every game and I could not tell you what the heck is on our court. I have even played on the court.....hmmmmmm

I need to find a picture.


EDIT: The court looks great. Would you rather have a FREAKING WAY TO BIG LOGO that looks stupid like (just a random example) Red Bird Arena?

I say either keep it, go big like Oregon.

That BU court does need a serious upgrade. Almost anything would be better, but since we can't have a Brave image on the court, then a better Bradley font or just plain giant BU would be a lot better. I think it does cost a decent chunk of change to have this done. I like Oregon's outside of the box thinking, but it might be a tad too much.

Everything stinks when you're bad. The court, the uniforms, the PA announcer, the radio guys, the TV guys, everything. Amazing how much better they all look and sound when you're winning.

Well the TV guys for the most part have always stunk. Radio has pretty much always been good. I never liked the court or the PCC for games either, but I do love to see my team win. I'm not exactly a fan of their uniforms this year either. Will we see some black this weekend? It's not like we are in mourning or anything...

What's the deal with Walt's iron-on transfer for a name on his home jersey? Was it only for the EIU game or has it been for all? I'm just curious if it was a spelling mistake or some other reason.

I think it's because he wanted Lemon Jr. not just Lemon, I'm sure they'll get it fixed.

Thanks for the explanation. I was thinking that when I saw it.

To what.....?

The stale doctor's office feel of the new arena where men's games should be held?
