    Guess what they're doing at the TAC! Wow!

    Well, the Tech GATA gods have encompassed Thomas Assembly Center, joining the championship and retirement banners above the court.

    First off, they're getting white-washed on the outside.
    Next, it's not complete, but a whole new set of Tech basketball greats circle the building's entire concourse with new display boards. Men's basketball going one way, women's basketball the other way on the reverse side.
    New trophy cases for both the men and women. New display cases for Karl and Leon (sorry for the daytime glare in the pix).
    Go to the Techsters game tonight and see what's up.
    Media relations guru Malcolm Butler says there still some more to come, a few corrections on some typos made by the sign company and a separate display for the project's funder, the not-so-anonymous Dr. Guthrie Jarrell. Word is Leon's coming in for an official unveiling. Cool!
    Oh, and inside the arena, all the sports sponsors surround the upper level, 25 or more, including one featuring our own BB&B.
    enjoy the pix.

    Thanks for the pics, TMo.

    It looks like we are moving ahead in the area of facilities management.

    Saw it tonight at the Lady Techsters game. Very impressive. Glad they recognized some of those whose numbers have not been retired but contributed significantly to the program like Jennifer White, Shantel Hardison, and assistant coaches like Nell Fortner and Micki DeMoss.

    The men's basketball display case features Barmore, Malone, P.J. Brown, Jackie Moreland, Mike McConathy, and several others.

    I didn't notice the additional advertising at first but now virtually every available spot inside the arena has been sold. Many of the long-time sponsors but some new ones as well.

    Cleans up nice, don't it????

    I love it. Thank you Derek Dooley. A million times thank you. Pride and gumption. Jim Oakes should be embarrassed and so should Dan Reneau they let our facilities deteriorate to that level of crud. Soap, water and gumption. You go, Dooley. You go.

    WOW!! That's nice!

    Are they replacing that 1960s looking state-T logo above the main entrance of the TAC?

    Are they honoring 3-time NCAA rebounding champ Paul Millsap?

    Amen and amen. More good things to come. Let's revisit this in a year or so.

    Millsap has one of the new signs hanging in the concourse as well as a large portion of the new men's basketball display case.

    Too bad Rupp doesn't have team actually practicing in there - wins would do far more... I am very pround of our football team though - watched one hell of game against Fresno!

    I'm assuming (I know do assume) that this is not the finished product.

    I like that Dooley doesn't just do the obvious. It looks like they're scrubbing/painting the storage (or mechanical) building on the right too.
