[quote name="Englebert" post="1269454" timestamp="1347570188"] How much money can a school generate on advertising on the JumboTron? Can it be a significant amount to cover/defray the initial cost? I have no idea how much advertising like this can bring in. Just curious if the overall cost can be severly cut by advertising. [/quote] Bring in around 35k this yr

[quote name="shooter" post="1268791" timestamp="1347496053"] Mixed-Up Priorities (p. 12) in the latest Sports Illustrated reads: You chose the wrong Sign of the Apocalypse (Scoreboard) last week. At a time when schools across the contry are struggling, Carthage (Texas) High's new $750, 000 JumboTron seems far more outrageous than an Oklahoma City school district's rules barring non-Oklahoma sports teams' apparel. Richard Temkin, Farmington Hills, Mich. Are their priorities mixed up? [/quote] Carthage is a wealthy school district that pays a ton into "Robin Hood". If they don't spend it, it will be sent to the state. The school put this up on a bond that was broken into 3 different proposals. This one, an indoor practice facility and about $10 mil in school repairs/upgrades. They all passed with this one being the lowest with an approval of about 68%. Just built a state of the art $17 mil elementary school.  With the money brought in they are able to pay them off early. Don't have to like it, but the tax payers did approve it by a fairly large margin.

Congrats "G"! Keep your boys headed in the right direction!

You can go to bigcountryhompage.com and watch 2 of their games. Look under the sports tab and then click on webcasts... They are very good, and def a contender, but not as great as I had expected.

Congrats Liberty!

Congrats on the Win Liberty!

Way to go Liberty! Congrats on the Win!

I also hear that there was an entire tray of firecracker enchiladas the other day that did not magically dissapear............you stay classy TheCru [/quote] Yea I heard that they had a HUGE improvment with the new athletic trainer!  I bet Liberty was glad to get that slappy out of there! He didn't do much around there!... BTW, I didn't realize that what I said was classless... Sorry... I agreed when I saw the schedule too, But thanks Coach!

I don't remember his name, but I think he was one of the Coordinators @ Whitehouse last year... I've been surprised by the Liberty games... once they finalized their schedule last yr, I was hearing that they felt like they would have the opportunity of going undefeated until they met Coldspring/Cleveland the last 2 wks of the season...
