If you need tannerite because you're not a good enough shot to know whether you can hit the Godzillatron, it might be time to put the rifle away.

I think it's just a shitty rendering. The previously released images and the pics in the marketing materials look way, way better. They also show that while some office views will be obscured on the Longhorn Patio, it won't be 100% obscured. But honestly, who all needs the unobstructed, perfect view of the stadium from their office? Just the head coach. I don't give a company fuck if Drew Mehringer's office looks straight into a wall. I don't care, and would honestly prefer, if Drew Mehringer's office was a fucking dumpster that was on fire somewhere down Red River. 

I think it looks cool in the original renderings, and it *should* look badass when viewed from the TV cameras at a slight angle. But I guess we'll see. 

Mehs coaching was criminal, he should be staring at walls in Huntsville imo.

Godzillatron was completely replaced in 2017. I'm sure they'll find something to do with the panels they're removing.

Yea, they very carefully take it down panel by panel. It's probably the same screen they'll use in the new structure.

You can put that idiot on ignore and you will never miss a single thing about his existence. First guy I ever put on ignore and I liked it so much that I started using the functionality a lot more freely and it’s been great on both boards. At one point early on for me at Shaggy, I tried to figure that dipshit out and it eventually hit me that there are indeed true, full-blown retards out there who have a keyboard and access to the Internet.

I’m betting someone will post a pic of an old 1940’s scoreboard here.  Right?

Anyone know if the north side of moncrief has been cleared out? I imagine they need to demolish it soon.

Hmm it seems like if we play our cards right we could solve a lot of our problems here pretty quickly.

Yea the inside. That might give us an idea when we'll start to see them demolish the north half of the building.

In the 1952 picture I posted, I failed to mention that the Horns hosted Notre Dame that day.

[msucolt45 4084]

This is a wider shot. I’ve had it for a while and can’t remember where I got it.

[msucolt45 4084]

The good guys lost 14-3.

[DaysOff 7978]

Fuck Notre Dame

[msucolt45 4084]

We can do a manual Master’s / Wrigley Field scoreboard on the South side for all I care, as long as the Longhorns are winning!

[MAUFRAIS 6647]

I would prefer that.

No. E/W. Then in '53, they just picked the entire thing up and turned it 90 degrees.

That scoreboard was still in place during my first attendance at a Longhorn game in 1959.

Don't be silly, they couldn't do that.  They could only turn it 45 degrees.  They had to let it sit like that for a few yearrs and then finished turning it

[Pasken 1309]

 

 

So I've been assuming they would be demolishing the north half of Moncrief but it looks like they've prepped it for adjacent construction. Are they building the new end zone structure around and above Moncrief?

Who else is old enough to remember pick up football games on the weekends in the stadium, on the astroturf? No locks, no security, no problems. Just another place to walk to to get out of your West Campus roach motel for a few hours.
