"These are my new shoes. They're good shoes. They won't make you rich like me, they won't make you rebound like me, they definitely won't make you handsome like me. They'll only make you have shoes like me. That's it." - Charles Barkley
Not only the speakers but it seemed as if all the lights for the time outs left, what yard the ball was on and that stuff just started dieing right before half time.
On another note why is there hawkeye clothing in the ad at the top of the page? We really talking about iowa that much more all of a sudden?
I don't think we are talking about the hawks anymore than normal, but Iowa State and Iowa do happen to have something in common.
I remember us playing K-State 4 years ago and the whole scoreboard and video system went out for a good amount of time. We have had nothing but trouble with the video board and sound system. It was brand new in 2002 and now it is completely junk. Great buy BVD

That's because the power in at least half the stadium went out for about 5-10 seconds. And it takes awhile for the big electronics to restart -- much slower than just flipping a light switch.
If we want to have kids on recruiting visits during games, we can't let them see our pitiful scoreboard video/audio system or they'll think they're at a high school stadium.
A program isn't built on one player and it doesn't succeed because of one player, thus a program won't fail if it doesn't get that one player.

Realized that... I think my main point is that we have had several problems with it. I know it's happened a few times. Also the video quality is bad from time to time. If you have ever tried to tape the pregame video or something off the replay board you will notice it.
Also.. the sound was turned way down it seemed, but it actually sounded better.
Just seems like we spent a bunch of money on it at the time and it's not holding up well.
I think we would need about 10 Million to match Minny's sound and Audio.
