That's what she said.

That's what I said when I took home a cougar from the Trophy Room.

I never ask a woman's age, instead I ask when they graduated.

you get the same info, in a nicer way.

#42

2 years younger than me. Which is way too old for me.

Good grief, nobody uses HID lighting anymore. Get into the 21st century and put some LED fixtures in there. This reminds me of when the architectural school designed the "new" business building and left off sprinklers. Who's running this show?

Those look like lights the construction workers are using before they install the facility lighting

At this stage of construction lights would not be installed. Take a breath...

So they hardwire temporary lights nowadays? Who knew?

So now we have construction project managers to go with our armchair coaches?

Boom.

You the Lighting Source guy?

Or just an observant nonchalant?

Despite the leaky roof, the project seems to be going well.

From the pictures.

I just hate to see a Memphis logo on something called state-of-the art that's using technology that was used on what we now call the old bridge. When you take your first tour after they open it, point your phone up and take a picture. It'll look familiar.

No, but they are big Tiger fans judging from the signs. And I can go with nonchalant.

could we wait until it's built and opened before we complain about it?

it looks at least twice the size of the Finch Center with higher ceilings...I guess I don't see the problem.

Crappy lighting's no problem to replace. It just should've been anticipated, like the sprinklers.

I was unimpressed with the Finch Center.

There are "community centers" with better courts.

The locker room must have been awesome.

Frank is back in charge of S&C. You dribble and climb over stacks of sheetrock while trying to see in the antiquated lighting.

We will be a team full of Blake Griffins.
