South Carolina: Alabama’s mouth and Vanderbilt’s trophy case.

Those awnings were put in place to hide the gaping expanses created by the “elephant doors” in the arena corners. Those huge portals were part of what made TBA feel like an aircraft hangar before the renovations. I agree they need an upgrade and that they are allowed to sag too much. You’d see...
