Long Beach State?s new beach-themed court design is subtle yet distinctive | The Dagger: College Basketball Blog - Yahoo! Sports

At least it's better than Oregon! :rolleyes:

Nice court!

Maybe, but I still blame Oregon.

It's infinitely better than the Oregon court because all lines on the court are still easily discernible. That Oregon court is a crime against humanity and Oregon and Nike and everyone involved should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Calm Down Sparky!
 

Sheesh, bad weekend APG? ;)

Be Sure To Paint Over The White Stripe ...
 

Two Screen Names for Billy Mac
 

Hey BM...........

Have you ever considered two different names for this site ???

You could be Billy Mac when you posted about actual plays or rulings and then be someone else for your stand up act that we get to see on a daily basis....that way we would know what we are getting prior to reading your posts!!!!! Who knows maybe the stand up act could get a sponsor.....::D:D:D

You could bring in 1,000 kids and have them all puke in unison on the court and it would look better the UO's court.

Easy big boy !!!!!!
 

Where can I get some of those Wheaties that you had this weekend......

While I don't like the looks of the Oregon court, I can say, having worked on that floor, that the lines are not a problem. For some reason, they are not as clear on TV as they are in person. They were quite easily discernible to me when I was on the court....no more difficult than any other court.

I may be alone here, but I think that court looks hideous. Oregon set the standard for ugly...so now it looks like other schools are going to try to play catch up. Seriously...it's a basketball court, not a fashion statement.

Maybe I'm cranky because it's been raining here for 24 hours courtesy of Isaac, but I don't like the trend of wild designs on the floor. I find them a distraction from the game.

Nothing as pretty as wooden planks and bright team colors for the lane covered with high gloss urethane IMHO. Throw in a couple logos and you're good to go...

Nike should get immunity for all the good things it's done for people.

Mohegan Sun Arena ...
 

Home of the Connecticut Sun. I like it, and not because I'm a fan. Dark, and light, stained hardwood to form rays of the Sun. Colorful center circle logo. Not too shabby.

I Couldn't Hold His Whistle (See First Law Of Officiating) ...
 

Did you really think that you would get actual plays, and rulings, with the thread title, "Sand In My Shoes"?

Stand up act? You haven't seen a stand up act until Mark Padgett recovers and gets back full time on the Forum. Then, and only then, will you see a stand up act. And be sure to tip your waitress.

Remember the Stand By Me movie scene where............

Yes.

Yes he does.:D

Does this mean then that you are solely the back up act to Padgett?? If so then why are we paying a cover charge when you are not the featured act ?????

John 16:24 ...
 

Gee, now I'm sorry I've never seen this Academy Award winning film. :rolleyes:

One of my favorite movies of all time.

Close Second . . .
 

. . . behind the all-time classic "Killer Clowns from Outer Space" for me.

In keeping with thread theme, we would've had sand in our shoes had they not cleaned up after this one:
Local school district with very successful basketball program passed a millage that allowed them to refinish their gym floor. Drab-colored accumulations of finishes applied since '73 or so resulted in a dingy, yellowish/brownish, depressingly gloomy color. Sanding process yielded the natural wood hidden layers and layers below.
Dropped by to see it the other day. Looks like a nice, newly installed floor, bright and exciting now.
New bleachers helped.
Now, if they only would have gotten rid of the hockey-style scoreboard hanging from midcourt, the rehab would have been complete. Makes it difficult-to-impossible for last second shot monitoring by trail in two-person.
At least it will have the feel of a grand spanking new gym floor for a while to come.

I'm convinced you all need to follow Snaqwells and take up football to keep you occupied in the fall. ;)

I actually work soccer in the fall, but since I don't know any of the rules, I don't go to their threads........ I am just here to help BM get to 10, 000 posts.

Maybe we will have a few fall leagues starting up soon were we can talk plays......

St. Elmo's Fire
 

Actually if you wanna talk classics. I was an extra in St. Elmo's Fire back in the mid 80's. Not because of my stunning good looks though........

Trying to Grasp Your Point
 

Are you saying you're a coach then? :D

Too Young To Read An Analog Clock ???

We actually used a scoreboard like this, over thirty years ago, in one of our schools. After they finally got a modern scoreboard, they left the old one hanging in a corner, for nostalgia reasons, until they finally took the antique down a few years ago. Too bad.

Secret Handshake ???
 

Is that when I become an esteemed member? Do I get a "Fashion Police" badge, and a secret decoder ring?

You'll get a gold watch.

Cuz I Have Nothing Else to Do Here at Work
 

Did some calculating and came to the algebraic conclusion that, at my current rate of posting, it will take me 53.69 years to reach 10,000 posts. 106.44 years to reach Snaqs. :o
Might be able to achieve the former figure if I keep trying and if medical advances pick up the pace. The latter might be a little difficult.

When They Fly ...
 

No problem. Mark Padgett will let you use his new pig's heart after he's through with it. It's only gently used. He only uses it to go to the synagogue on Saturdays.

Slacker

Nobody said.............
 

Fab 5 Freddy -

Nobody said your posts had to be of any intellect....if you made 4 random posts a day @ 365 days, that would be roughly 1,460 posts a year. Multiply that times 20 years ?????????

Break down BM's posts, how many of them are really endorsed by the likes of Dallas Shirley or Oswald Tower ????? More like John Candy or Bill Murray.......

Candy Is Dandy, Liqour Is Quicker ...
 

Flattery will get you nowhere.

And I Don't Believe That They Are Forum Members ...
 

Probably none. I believe that they're both dead.

Damn I tried !!!!!

Another post for me !!!! Slowly catching up!!!!

How very true.
