I'm not quite saying you're a prude, but I can't see how alcohol advertising can give one moral pause. It's legal and perfectly acceptable in moderation. And just because half the athletes may be underage, the audience to which they play is overwhelmingly of age.

Agree, the floor was atrocious (I always liked the deep blue floor that they've had, goes with the building. But now that the Billikens have moved out I guess someone thought it was time for a change).
But the Bud light ad is a non event. For one the event was in St Louis, and AB still (even being foreign owned now) has a large corporate and cultural presence in this area. It's also the site of the annual Busch Bragging Rights game between Mizzou and Illinois.
But the floor is baaaaaad. I always thought basketballs in the FT semi circle/three point area is gimmicky at best. Like the stupid outfield arch at Busch.
