"Court in bad condition"

[00clone]

Is this a joke? If not, dumb decision by Pollard.

This is even funnier than the post itself.

I think all of Scott's walking around was a cover for him pulling a move like Clint Eastwood in Escape from Alcatraz where he's got a pocket full of dirt from the tunnel and is shaking it out of his pant leg.

Wasn't that Tim Robbins in Shawshank Redemption? I haven't seen escape, though, so it could be both.

oh ****** dude.

Hey it is game day and I have had a few..don't pick on me

I'm not old enough to know for sure either, but I recall seeing that scene somewhere when I was a wee one, googling on the internet machine led to a reference to Clint, but it was a message board, so it's probably wrong.

You just lost the Internet.

I'm not supposed to say anything, but I suppose that since this is an anonymous message board, it wont hurt. Last weekend, when Monster Jam was in Des Moines, the semis and monster trucks were not able to get into Des Moines in time for a proper warm up. Much like basketball players, monster truck drivers need to warm up real good before they get out there and do their thing. Since they weren't able to get the Wells Fargo (The Well) due to the weather, they pulled off in Ames. The Monster Jam manager contacted Jamie Pollard and asked if Hilton Coliseum was currently being used. Jamie of course said, "No, but the basketball court is down." Monster Jam (MJ) manager says, "Don't worry Jamie, we'll clean up real good." Jamie, being a huge Monster Jam fan and realizing the magnitude of this event (especially for Mohawk Warrior), since it was a qualifying event for the National Monster Jam competition, said, "Go for it!"

Long story short, the trucks unloaded the dirt ramps on top of the basketball court, got in a few hours practice while the weather remained a factor outside, packed up and headed to Des Moines the next morning. These guys (the Monster Jam Crew (MJC)) are professionals, but they can't clean up every single speck of dust. When you're revving those engines and flying through the air with that much steel, sometimes getting all that dust out of the air is the least of your problems. Of course once they left, there was still some dust hanging in the air, that dust settled on the floor and caused the Baylor Bears to lose. This would have been a much bigger deal if Scott Drew wasn't such a huge fan (and financial supporter from what I understand) of the Monster Jam circuit.

I hope I don't get in trouble for spilling the beans about the reason for the dusty court tonight.

DUDE, you were told all this in confidence. You had no right to spill the beans. Not cool...

Maybe the dust was coming from the Baylor warmups during all those really odd drills they do.

Or more likely, it was Scott Drew trying to do something to gain a psychological advantage (like making us think that the floor was much more dirty than it really was). At any rate . . . Fail.

Does Scott Drew call dumb timeouts? No joke.

Ahhh **** it. I will find it later, I am going to bed.

There's no pleasing Scott Drew. Just ask his wife.

Olberman showed a much different set of highlights than SC. Only 3 was by Morris. Mentioned the T on Ejim, but it didn't matter.

Started with a joke about the dirty floor and Iowa not having child labor laws as the ballboys were mopping the floor.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Monster trucks? Don't think so but this guy was seen court-side before the game.

Everyone in The Great Escape, as well.

I'm pretty sure she's the one not getting pleased in that relationship.

I hear he calls stupid timeouts there too.

Don't question me.

I doubt it was too much of anything. Scott Drew probably just blew it out of proportion like when he flipped about the Rashad Vaughn signs last season. I honestly don't think that much dirt blew through the doors, came into the seating area, somehow came down the steps, and and just happened to end up underneath Baylor's basket.

Speaking of the court, anyone know the reason we don't have the XII logo in the lanes anymore? I know they replaced the court after the flood, but I would think they would have added it by now. It just seems kind of plain without it and I think we should be selling the XII brand.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

How could our floor be dirty. We didn't even play this song tonight

I believe at one point Pollard mentioned that they hadn't put it on the new court because there was some talk about replacing the Big 12 logo since there weren't 12 teams. I thought at the time he said that it (the logo) wasn't going anywhere so we would see the logo back on the court.

I might have just dreamt that, who knows.
