WTF? This crap is getting ridiculous.

Maybe, XAvier should have, Skyline Cheese Coneys and Montgomery Inn ribs all over the court.

Maybe a giant Cintas Uniform at each end (instead of FT lanes).

[ballyhoohoo]

A guy jumping off one foot, someone taking a walk in softball, Drudy steeling game shorts, Thor's bike, Nut's herbal garden, and empty seats before tip off could be a good design.

[Muskie]

Do we know the specs of Thor's bike (or a reasonable looking decoy?) I'd be willing to go in on a prank bike if we could somehow chain it to either one of the hoops or the statue outside...

[ballyhoohoo]

I know it is/was a red Specialized. I'm not sure it is was a hard tail or full suspension, multi speed or single gear, 26 or 29er.

Or constantly post ads trying to sell it with his email /twitter as a contact.

I think this was it:

This is getting out of control.

We need a mandate. Basketball uniforms must look like uniforms and not walking neon signs like Adidas subjected us to.

Basketball courts must look like courts and not....whatever the hell that thing is above.

When will it stop??

I have an idea!!!! Lets make the court look like a message board!!! Just take a screen caption of the front page of this site, and make that the court!!! Of course, we'll need the vague outl ine of the midcourt line, the lane, and the three point line, but other than that, the court will be the front of this message board!!!

If they wanna get nuts, then lets get REALLY nuts!!!

[Muskie]

ironically the front of this messageboard has a court on it... maybe you're on to something?

[waggy]

Boobs?

Unfortunately that might turn off the wives/girlfriends and students. May need a second family friendly court for the women's games.

I have a feeling that what we are seeing is uniform companies and court designers pushing the limits a bit further each time. One of these days, someone in authority will say ENOUGH, and lay down the law in terms of some real spartan rules that will eventually veer more towards every court being much be in the same style as the NCAA tournament courts. (Which, except for the final four court, I think are downright UGLY)

[Muskie]

you don't like giant stickers in the center of the floor that say NCAA?

I still have a big gray space at the top of this message board. The Cintas court picture that I think use to be there is gone.
It's probably payback from someone in the administration for me griping about the big blue wall space at Cintas.

Nice job UNLV. Looks like the opening of an early Bond movie.

That would be a little distracting....not that it is necessarily a bad thing....particularly if it is the other team.

The next thing you know they wil be taking our guns away.....

All season ticket holders should get a square on the court to draw whatever they want!

Actually, that's the one thing I do like! The blue on black writing in boring font is I guess what I have the most issue with.
