Everyone has already stated what i would have said. As far as season tickets go, I think as a first year graduate you get your first years season tickets for free, but you have to be aware of it. I did not get any discount besides my Alumni Association discount for my second year.
The one lack i see in our team next year is "instant offense." From what I have seen and read, we do not have a kid who can come in and make a couple 3's and be done (ala Coop and Troy).

Personally I am happy to read Donlon's comments. His recruiting for 2011-12 reflects this same view point. I suspect most of his recruits in the future will normally show up with college type bodies and a willingness to add muscle and weight.
I have cited this Jim Brown story before, but here it comes again. On the radio show after a WSU game Jim was talking about a player that was bombing us with 3 pointers. Finally on one shot one of our players jumped into him and put him in the front row bleachers in the PE Bldg. Jim commented about that being his last 3 point attempt of the night. It wasn't a deliberate foul, per se, our guy just jumped high and his momentum carried him and the shooter into the seats. But it sent a message.
I'm not stressing playing dirty, just hard, physical play. Sandberg once wrote "whether the jug bumps the rock, or the rock bumps the jug, it is hard on the jug." Having our guys get bigger and stronger will enable them to play more like rocks rather than jugs.

It's definately no secret that If a guy is getting going, you gotta get him out of his rythm any way you can and a good hard foul is a great way to do it. Nothing dirty. Just a nice litte "have a seat, pal. I've had enough" We need somebody who can intimidate a little bit, plant somebody on the hardwood, and alter their thinking a little bit.

That is a very attractive board. My question is, will all the contents be visible from any seat? I often go to the Nutter for a variety of reasons during the off season. I'll be very eager to see its installation.
A second question is, will we retain the scorboards in the corners?

Physical post play would be a welcome site. It has been frustrating to see us getting pushed around in the paint this season.

It's no expense to keep them.

That is awesome. I hope this is legit and not some hoax. I also hope that they utilize it to it's full potential (i.e. replays, updated stats, etc)

raiderscout, Thanks for your suggestion, but no thanks. My question was really aimed at the circular design. Are there 4 flat screens as there is now, or if it is really circular, will you be able to see 100% of the data. I assume that it will still have 4 flat screens.
As for all the comments about the data shown on the display, I assume coach Donlon is merely resting his big scorers so they can return to action. Having scored that many points in 28 minutes, they must be exhausted...though they were apparently catching their breath while on defense.
As we saw in the OSU/Mich. game this past Sat., having a 19/20 point lead with 12 minutes left is not a safe lead by any means.

If you look at the picture closely, you can tell that the top and bottom are circular but the scoreboard and the video board are four flat panels
