I counted over 50 banners, between men and women, last night. It would be even worse if they weren't doing some consolidation already. Toledo is a few more sub-par years away from having banners you can reach out and touch in the corner by section 104.

The athletic department said a few years ago they were going to consolidate banners, i.e. all NIT appearances on one or two banners. Don't know what happened.

The banners are a tribune to the players that played on the teams that the banners represent. If you don't like the banners don't come to the games. If your family or friends don't like them, then they must be jealous, that we have so many.

Really? I shouldn't come to the games if I don't like the banners? That seems ridiculous. What if I think that the hot dogs are overpriced? Am I allowed to complain about that and still show up?

No wonder your son is villain #1 on this board

I think scaling back or streamlining the clutter of banners is not a bad idea !! It should have no bearing on whether you will, or will not, attend future games at Savage like you implicated …

Gotcha. that was probably a play-in game for the NCAA tournament.

It was. Teams had tied for regular season championship. Held at Crisler Arena. Dick Miller punctuated Rocket win with a huge dunk in the final seconds and I got in a fight with a CMU fan who kept warning me he was one of Sugar Ray Leonard’s sparring partner. He wasn’t and he got arrested. All in all an entertaining evening.

Close, H20. Joplin dunked at the buzzer. There’s a great picture of it which I have long since lost.

Really had some good local sportswriters and broadcasters back in the day!

I'm 99% sure in talking with those who make decisions, changes are coming regarding them. I don't know the company who does these, nor what they will look like. Nor do I even know how they will choose to consolidate them, but it will look different come November of 2023.

Most MAC schools would KILL to have your problem.
