Goal Post Nets

Post by BGDrew »

With the construction of the Sebo, are we going to see some nets finally installed? During the scrimmage they wouldn't kick into the construction area, so what are we going to do this Saturday?

Funny enough, I was wondering the same thing just the other day, but not just for this Saturday, but for all the games. Like everything, I know it costs money, but they really should think about putting a net up there. Our kickers need to practice kicking into the north endzone, and furthermore, we don't need every kick in that endzone bouncing off the walls of the building or windows. Watching the CMU/BC game the other day, it looked so high school-ish watching that girl running around on the roof of the end zone building chasing footballs that were bouncing off the speakers or roof.

From what I've seen of the Sebo sketches, if there are kicks hitting the band, we've got a much bigger problem than a lack of nets. :shock:

There seems to be some activity with a dump truck and some other implement immediately behind the north goal post. Net, perhaps?

OK, it really looks to me like poles are going up for nets now. Check out the camera and tell me I'm not losing my mind. Please.

Nope. You've lost your mind. Those are two flag poles (one for the University flag and the other for the state flag). The US flag will be in the south endzone.

I think nets in the North end zone are a good idea.

That way our blocked punts, and Miami's bad snaps won't go bounding into the construction.
