Michigan Stadium scoreboard stains(?)
We took a drive to The Big House earlier today for a walk and I had to finally ask the questions.
Has anyone ever noticed the eyesore that is the stains on the back of the Michigan Stadium scoreboards? Look in the upper right of the Block M.
What is that shit?
The back of the scoreboard doesn't have a Block M painted on it. The Block M is printed on some sort of padding. So it's something that has stained the padding.
Is acid rain still a thing or did we cancel that since COVID? Or maybe it was 9/11?
Acid rain isn’t talked about anymore, but that isn’t because the media had new things to scare us about, as your sarcastic post seems to imply. It is no longer a topic of discussion because we responded to the problem appropriately and made it mostly go away. SOx and NOx emissions from power generation have been reduced by 90% due to appropriate regulations to respond to a real problem.
That's where OSU left a mark.
Legend has it that it’s been weeping ever since Dave Brandon trotted out that Kraft Mac and cheese thing
Zoom in and you can see some of those stains already there - obviously it's been a while in the making.
Funny stuff...honestly first thing I thought of when I saw the OP's picture was Dave Brandon
The perfect time to fix the scoreboards by encasing them in brick to match the stadium....and bricking the concourse between the two towers eventually.
If only funding fell from trees :/
Funding doesn't fall from trees? Would you please discuss that with my wife and children? Appreciate it!
I always tell them that the money tree in the back yard is dead, shot, poisoned, and strangled.
After reading Lord of the Rings and Simarillion, it seems that Tolkein had a fixation on towers....
I don’t know what it is, but the football program and athletic department blows sometimes when it comes to aesthetics. For one example, when they occasionally will have an OL come in as an eligible number and the jersey they are wearing looks like my 3 year old stitched it. The numbers look horrible.
Also, for the first couple years of the Harbaugh era there still were Michigan flags flying at the top of the stadium that were highlighter Maize (there are a couple other examples of this)
We have the best color scheme in the country, yet we let these what should be easy fix quality issues continue to happen.
It's because winning is the only thing that matters.
I hope this is sarcasm...........
It's in the details. It's always in the details. I realize that a stained Block M is no big deal but its always a slippery slope. If there is one thing that defines Saban and Meyer it is a fanaticism about the details. Same, by the way, with Beilein.
Unless those details involve late career employment changes.
Isn’t that his girlfriend?!? Confused...
Whoever it is, that was a bold choice to dress like a banana.
Well, why weren't you there to give him the finger like you always do?
Nice calves.
I don't know, but I would love to be on the other side of that gate soon.
I think its dope you walk around dressed like a highlighter
No hate
Bird feces.
That fabric has seen better days, for sure. I remember seeing that new scoreboards were on the docket in the financial budget pre-Covid. I’m sure that has changed drastically since. The insides of the scoreboard are pretty cool, however.
It's an OUTRAGE!!
Power washers are the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems
It looks like the back of your knickers are stained.
Reads thread title. Bets net worth that it was posted by WD. Clicks on title. Doubles net worth. Profits.
If only doubling my net worth meant making any actual profitable gain...sigh
And in local news this morning,
A 22-year old local man dressed in unmatched maize clothing was arrested overnight while his girlfriend was filming him climbing one of the Big House scoreboards while "armed" with several bottles of Spray&Wash™...
Oh it matches, the camera on my girlfriend’s iPhone 5 just stinks. I wouldn’t be walking around in unmatched clothing.
Big Maize says wear a mask
Help is available if you need it
iPhone 5's might be the way to go now. the Apple gods are slowing down the more recent iPhone's this week to get you to start thinking thinking about their new iPhone 12's coming out later this year, but the 5's are too old for them to worry about.
Can you play DT , WD ?
Looks more like a guard.
I can't lie, that mask is pretty cool and i'm totes jealous.
This must be WD’s version of a “thirst trap.” (Thanks to Martha Stewart for making me aware of the latest internet meme that hopefully will have a short lifetime.)
P.S. My wife wants to know where are the Michigan socks!
Funny you said this. A week or two ago, a couple of guys tried to climb the fence at Gate 9 to get into the Stadium. One impaled his foot when he fell. All I can say is: I hope it was worth it.
Do people dress like that on non-game days or is it a Covid reaction?
Must be yellow fever.
It will stay that way until Michigan beats OSU. So forever.
I'd say that the yellow "padding" has two layers, and you're seeing the top (clear) layer bubbling away from the bottom with condensation getting in there to darken those areas.
Why are you looking at WD that closely and describing him like that, when clearly there were NO restrooms open nearby when he needed one?
Checked my pics from Middle Tennessee State and those stains were not there. Hmm.
I actually LOL'd when I saw the pictures in the OP.
One small thing that’s always bothered me is that the lettering under the scoreboard at the Crisler Center says “CRISLER ARENA”. Seems like such a simple, easy fix to put the correct name on the scoreboard.
I thought Chrysler Center was the name of the building on North Campus....well close anyway.
