Is it just me

or is the GFC Championships banner in the dome starting to remind anyone else of the Johnny Cash song One Piece at a Time?

Just a ramdom thought before heading off to bed.

You know, the single most intimidating championship banners I ever saw were in the gym at Iowa City City High. They had a large banner for each title, and they covered almost every single piece of wall, just ovewhelming to look at. The second most was at my HS.

I think, right above the visitors entrance, where the dome record is, they should also paint "12 Time Gateway Conference Chmapions" or "The Road to the Gateway Title Starts Here".

I agree with Newsbreaker about the banners for the DOME.

I am always impressed by the wall at Fullerton State baseball field. It lists all the conference championships, NCAA tournament appearances, and national championships. There are quite a few dates up there.

Also, the endzone at YSU is impressive with all those National Championship Banners.

LSU has something similar on their outfield wall. It's called the Intimidator.

Newsbreaker has an excellent idea but I might tweak his idea a bit. Instead of "The Road to the Gateway Championship Starts Here" I'd change it to "Goes Through Here." I doubt you'd get any arguments from any of the other teams in the conference.

I like the idea of adding to the home record sign above the visitors entrance "12 time gateway conference title. But i think the road to the gateway starts here would be too cocky and we'd be in danger pf pissing of the visitng team enough to fire them up

You think anyone isn't fired up before they come into our house to play?

You need to walk thought the tunnel where the visitors enter. It does have our home winning record there and that is pretty intimidating.

I watched the SFA at NWST game this past thursday night on tv....anyways...NWST in their locker room has every NFL team helmet and below each helmets lists the name's of former NWST players that have played on that NFL team. To me, that is a great recruiting tool.....that I think UNI should add to our arsenal.

Being Canadian, I think some of the CFL teams should be added, as well!

At Georgia Southern, they have a ceremony where the put their 6 flags up before and take them down after each game. That would be intimidating to watch as an opposing player.

Yeah....right. Doubt it.

I think our tradition of the garage door and the build up to it is intimidating enough when the opposing team is standing in that little entrance at the bottom of the tunnel. The only thing that could make it more intimidating would be to somehow rig the lighting to dim, ala Chicago Bulls entry...

Keep the dome record in the tunnel, but put it out in the dome somewhere, too. Then make a big deal out of updating it after a win. It would be fun for the fans and give people a reason to stick around after a blow out.

Speaking of the CFL, How many former Panthers have played in the league. I recall only one off the top of my head, Ryan Doak...and I think he only played one season..I know, somewhat off topic, but it was raised earlier in the thread.
