is that a real picture of what it looked like, Anne?

You bet pass the hat BB

SUNFLOWER

Someone should talk to Sherman about it.

I guarantee you he would get BB to get it done.

For sure!! At least every evening/night we have football game!

It should be lit for all home game weekends. When the lights are on, the sign is lit.

The excuse about the birds is just an excuse. That can be easily fixed.

It costs too much money to operate.

I got $20.00 to contribute. Actually I could probably do $100.00 to get the lights on, but I am not a deep pockets donor.

And to Mr. Byrne, there is this stuff called "conduit" that one puts exposed wiring in protect the wiring. If the correct gauge wire, or a gauge or two larger is used, then heat is not a problem.

I do agree that some sort of barrier to birds and other varmints would also be required. Ventilation to keep the lights cool may also be required. But as others have said, we are a university. We do have an college of engineering and I'll bet that there are some bird experts somewhere in the university. And apparently we need some bat experts too.

Didn't I vote on one of these a couple of days ago?

Fiat Lux!

Light em up!!!

I vote for fire in place of the old lighting...

All of you would be surprised at how little it would cost.

I think that when the Press Box is renovated, this could/should be considered.

This should be a class gift.

Walk into your boss's office and tell him to do something because you want it done and see what the reaction would be.

They were always lit when I was there '85 - '90. Either throw it to the College of Engineering for a student project like someone mentioned earlier or make it a class gift. How about taking this one on 2009 Zips?!

Whoop!

yup.

By all means, if there is any possible way, please light it again! It is beautiful when it is lit up.
