Then why do you keep bitching like a little girl about it? Take your menstrual complex elsewhere. They'll welcome you with open arms on the Spirit.

The fact that you want to squash a fellow MSU fans legitimate concerns lumps you into the lemming category.

The stuff you just said to him, was the stuff that the Spirit sheep said to me when I questioned our first bid with Capturion.

It's like you are more worried about the smack that you might hear from another fan than the actual screen.

At no point have I complained about MSU getting a new board.

I know its hard for you to understand, but not EVERYTHING is a pissing match.

brought up the point about field goals and if we were going to have a net to protect the new board so that kicks won't be hitting it...my solution was to bring john michael marlin back so that we at least cover our end of the deal and not ever hit it...zing

and had minimal cognitive functioning, you'd know that exactly what you typed was bullshit.

The owner Len Busby is a USM guy and lives in Laurel. He's been in the outdoor advertising biz for years. If something goes wrong they should be around to fix it.

It will be very very nice, and that's all that matters. I'll leave the details up to Byrne and his Cigar Boys, whoever they may be.

-Will Capturion be around in 5 years to help fix it when something gets broken? Ole Miss invested in a state-of-the-art turf with a less-than-state-of-the-art company, and now they don't exist.

Should have used MSU's grass like everybody else in the SEC instead of being cocksuckers about it.

Obviously, with the size and magnitude, its going to add alot to Scott Field.

I personally believe the renderings let out were better than the Ole Miss renderings, but thats just my opinion. It looks like someone tried harder, basically.

Now, on to the concerns, while stating that I know nothing about if there were any bids or not...

-Capturion has done one screen, USM's. Oh, and KFC ones. Never one this big or this important. Dak, on the other hand, has proven history with UT's and other boards.

-The board is $6.1 million, and much larger than OM's. OM's was smaller and $6 million. Does this mean the quality would be lower? It seems to point in that direction, but we won't really know until both are observed. Personally, I hope both are equal.
