Segment 3: Tom re-joins Coach Stig for the 2nd half highlights vs. TCU.

Segment 4: Hank McCall breaks down the two big SDSU interceptions in the 2nd quarter and how they were able to happen.

Love these. Thanks for posting.
17:50 mark Justin Sell talks about adding ribbon boards and North Endzone Videoboards down the road. Were not able to get them into the initial build.

I am glad to hear this and I'm kind of glad they're waiting if they didn't have the funding. Rather than putting something small in, hopefully they'll go big 2 or 3 years down the road and put a bunch of ribbon displays and a large video voard on the North end.

My only worry is that it is sometimes hard to get these things back in if they didn't make the original bid...maybe with private donations it will be easier. Hopefully all the money doesn't get wrapped up in the Frost Arena renovation and this can actually happen in a year or two.

They will find private donations for it eventually. You're right though, Frost might take precedence for a while. You would think Daktronics would step up, but if their stock price is any indication, I doubt they're giving out any freebies. (I realize it jumped back up the past couple of weeks, they're still struggling though.)

Would assume they do good job getting deals to SDSU and USD for that matter. Probably dont want to squeeze them too much or risk getting some push back. some ribbon boards and somewhere with the game clock and score would be more then enough. Dont need video on both sides but it would be nice.

Re: Jackrabbit Journal - September 7 episode - Midco Sports Network

I agree goon, I don't see the glaring need to add another board. Already have a huge one. Personally in a more intimate stadium huge boards aren't a big deal as you can see the action so well from any seat. I won't complain obviously if they do, but the money could be put to better use IMO.

I guess I wasn't envisioning another huge video board, but more along the lines of a smaller video board to be able to show replays and such to the students and others that don't have a great view of the large board. Possibly 2 small video boards, one on each side of the dsac. If you think about it, the perfect place for the big board in a stadium like we have now would be on the North end, then their wouldn't be a need for extra video boards, but that's not possible with the dsac and sjac to the North.

Good call, I didn't think about the students. They will be too drunk to care anyways right?

Re: Jackrabbit Journal - September 7 episode - Midco Sports Network

I think you would all be surprised how often the student section turns around to look at the board. They show a replay and everyone turns around to get a better look at what just happened. It's also really annoying for the band because we want to see the replay, but the directors can't get our attention so we can play with our backs to them. I've heard students and alumni both complain about the board being behind the students, so it's an issue I'm sure they want to fix within the next few years.
