It will be about 4 feet wider and 2 feet taller than the first one with the screen extending to the edges of the metal frame. The temporary one has already been purchased by a high school somewhere in Ohio. Barring any unforeseen glitches, the new one should be fully operational by Homecoming.

Remember our newly planted grass field following the lowering of the playing surface? The visitors' stands catching fire? "Ribs at Ritz?" The Bobcat's head falling off as he parachuted into the stadium? Do I need to continue? BTW, I made a point of taking a side trip down to the first row of the Phillips section at the point closest to Victory Hill to check out the view of the scoreboard with a bunch of idiot a-holes standing on the hill. Their heads overlapped the bottom-most portion of the video screen. Score, time, down and distance (which was incorrect) were all MANY feet above their heads.

The overlap will be even more once the permanent scoreboard is in place and extends down another two feet. Thanks for caring.

That first paragraph makes me smile, actually. Somebody add more to that awesome list. This is all part of the charm of OHIO. And of small-time-shoe-string-budget attempts at div 1 athletics. The beer you can now buy in Peden is half full and/or you are halfway to another beer. Cheers and cheer up folks.

Then you have to have time to be brought up to date with the technology and build your infrastructure and staffing to be able to utilize the board and all of the features of the board. Give this a chance would be much better than people just having to find something to bitch about. We've had so far on this topic over a dozen different complaints, and pretty much most of them are petty complaints.

For us, it's up there with maintaining Los Alamos. I'm with Ohio69, though. I actually find it charming when these little things go awry. I don't know if I've ever laughed harder than being at the game the Rufus' head fell off while parachuting in.

Now I can't get the image out my mind of a headless Rufus majestically gliding like Mary Poppins over the Ridges and into the Appalachian foothills and local law enforcement chasing below like the 2009 Balloon Boy hoax.... Also, it reminds me of Rocky, the Nuggets' mascot: https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--hevU... I'm 33 years old and enjoy mascot videos more than I enjoy anything else in life.

I think this is proof that our mascot never changed.
