Sky Monkeys come from Oregon, they have the best Sky Monkey food there. As far as regular people food, Knoxville has Oregon hands down. Give me some fried okra, Krystal burgers and hashbrowns scattered, smothered, covered and topped any day of the week. You can't get any of that stuff on the west coast.

Yeah, but I'd kill for a Carl's Jr. menu over here to replace the watered-down Hardee's menu any day. For crying out loud, I had a Kentucky Bourbon Thickburger in Medford; can't find those anywhere near Kentucky at Hardee's and it's the same daggum chain.

Here is a picture at the end of this work week. The video screen we are installing is absolutely top of the line fyi.

I guess we will get a chance ot see how it looks in the midday sunlight right away, though I would prefer to see it at night.

The night is the best time to view it for sure but it is so bright the day view will still be fantastic. We have to do a night lighting when we have it finished to detect any seam gaps or irregularities. I'll be sure to get some pics of it for y'all.

Yea, I saw a video of UofFlorida night testing one of their two new boards. (New UF Videoboard on Vimeo)

Not sure if you guys do all Daktronics boards but it sounds like you guys have crews all over the place this summer.

This board is not a Daktronics board, it's a Mitsubishi. We do a lot of Daktronics, not all of them but quite a few. Mitsubishi is the best quality, a lot freakin' harder to install but the highest quality. I have a 1 mm tolerance for the steel and video installation. Most installers just laugh when you say 1 mm tolerance but I say if it ain't hard to do, it ain't worth doing. OK maybe Jesse James said it but it's a damn good saying.

Yes we do call it VOLtron but we are worried about copyright infringement from the cartoon. Just don't say it was our idea! ;-) Jumbotron is a Sony product that is way outdated but it's like Q-Tip or Popsicle, brand names that have become a label for all products in that catagory.

I am glad the AD went with the best hardware and installation. Quality over quantity, any day.
