Hello Jumbotron

[IrishHerb]

1984 Cal Tech students hacked the Rose Bowl scoreboard so it read "Cal Tech 38, MIT 9". ESPN actually did a feature on the 2004 Yale prank in which Yale students posing as Harvard cheer members handed out flip cards to unsuspecting Harvard fans that read "We Suck". That was predated by a Cal Tech flip card prank at UWash in 1961. Then there was the MIT guys in 1982 who buried a weather balloon in the middle of the field at Harvard who was playing Yale that day. When the weather balloon was inflated, it read "MIT". I'm amazed how easy it is to get all this info and more. Good stuff.

Here it is on Wikipedia …https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Rose_Bowl_Hoax

Great to have students like that. My understanding is that CalTech students do things like that all the time … mostly on their own campus. My thought is that these students are the people who will become more successful after graduation, because they can think, figure things out and get what they want to work.

I wish they announced this Jumbotron crap before I made my annual contribution. I want my $20 back.

Boohoo ND is finally getting a video board for replays. Go cry yourself a river. You aren't a real fan if you are more concerned about the stadium than the actual team playing on the field. ND doesn't cater to the highly entitled alumn ass hats that don't know anything about football and care more about the stadium than the team on the field.

Life changes so either change with it or go find another team to cheer for. ND has made it clear the direction they are moving. So quit being a little whiny ninny and move on to another.

Not all schools use their boards to run ads. I suspect you will see some ads for things like The Shirt and the book store. But none for Hooters, Life Alarm, The Vagina Monologues, etc.

They are going to have a moment of silence for Cecil the Lion at the beginning of the Texas game.
They will use the video board to show snippets of Cecil's life like him hunting antelope with his brother Jericho and playing with his cubs and the like.

You sound like a real douchbag making Comments like this. It has clearly been stated that no ads, kiss cams,...etc will be used.

Are you really this big of a dick or are you just dense? Either way the video board will be there whether you like it or not. So ass hats like you that think you are so clever saying this quote out of context just to be ass holes: Get used to it.

Wow .... you're a real fresh addition to this board. First couple of posts. Just what the site needed. One more classy poster.

Irishjohn is one of the more astute and knowledgeable posters here. Attacking him for expressing his opinion about a friggin jumbotron (an opinion that many ND fans hold) for no reason tells us a lot about you.

Lighten up. Thank God the off season is just about over. Geeeze.

You're a real charmer.

Let the complaining begin

No complaining from me. Great addition.

In light of the Campus Crossroads project that was announced last year, anyone that thought
that a jumbotron WASN'T coming - was fooling themselves. It was inevitable.

The only complaint I have is you still have that cheap shot on the Michigan QB..What is wrong with you.

Wasn't a cheap shot. He beat that boy into the ground. Gotta be ready. That guy's awareness ranking on EA NCAA Football would like a 7.

You do realize there will be not jumbotron until 2017.
