"Johnny Jones is assembling a nice team at his alma mater. He has big man Johnny O'Bryant returning and has a solid recruiting class coming in, featuring Louisiana's Mr. Basketball, Jarell Martin. LSU has totaled just 37 wins over the past two years and should break the 20-win mark this season." http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/9560191/five-college-hoops-return-prominence Starting to get excited!
I appreciate DV's hoops knowledge and enthusiasm. But I'm thinking ESPN must be saving money by not using editors. A professional writer would have told him to mention that he was talking about LSU before the 3rd sentence in the paragraph. And, I think the Red Storm is St. John. If I'm wrong, I have no idea what school he's talking about in the previous paragraph, because he doesn't say their name at all.
That's what caught my eye. It wasn't the point of advertising being there. It struck me as a little odd with the text for COX being "right side up" for those sitting at the bottom of the picture and upside down for those seated at the top. It made me wonder if it was a rendering. This brings up a thought: I can't think of a football field for an SEC team that doesn't have the SEC logo on both sides. I recall seeing it it basketball a few years ago but can't recall seeing it "across the board" for the whole conference in several years. I wonder if it is a requirement to have the SEC logo on the football field, but it isn't for basketball?
Cox is not concerned with the fans, it is concerned with getting its logo on TV. They face the TV booths.
That I realized. Off the top of my head, I can't recall another SEC basketball court with an advertisement, can you?
