  1. Dante Love Undergoes Spinal Surgery as reported by Dave Ruthenberg at macreportonline.com on SundayCardinal's wide receiver Dante Love suffered a "cervical spine fracture and spinal cord injury that required surgery to stabilize the fracture" according to a statement released through Ball State University by Dr. Jay Matchett, the team's physician and orthopedic surgeon.Matchett also indicated that Love is "currently moving all four extremities." Love, who was the nation's leading pass receiver entering the Cardinals' contest against Indiana Saturday night, was injured early in the second quarter after catching a two-yard pass from Nate Davis when he was hit by Hoosiers' cornerback Chris Adkins. Love fumbled the ball after the hit and Indiana's Nick Polk returned the fumble for a touchdown. Ball State went on to win the contest, 42-20. Following the hit Love was attended to by medical staff as players from both sides knelt in prayer. Medical personnel immobilized Love, removed his facemask and placed him on a backboard before transferring him on a cart to a waiting ambulance. Love was seen talking with medical personnel as he was placed in the ambulance. "We were told the surgery went well," said Ball State head coach Brady Hoke through the school's official statement. "Sunday morning Dante was alert and extremely tired. His attitude and spirits are good and we are praying for him right now." School officials indicated that surgery lasted approximately five hours.

  4. I hadn't walked by the contruction site since early last week and was surprised how fast the masonry workers are going vertical on the west stands. It is hard to see in camera one but they have set concrete block up past the height of the steel on the fifth floor. Today they are laying cement block towards the sixth floor. It looks like a stairwell or elevator shaft from a distance. You can barely see it on the very right edge of camera one. They have a seperate smaller blue crane to left the materials up to that height.
  5. I stole this picture of the scoreboard construction from the flush's message board. Amazing how we share all the same sponsors except for Pepsi/Coke.Do you think Laing Kennedy would have started this project if UA had not started Infocision Stadium?
  6. Hey Zipwatcher.......Add some more fuel to the fire!
  7. Sorry, its real paint on wood. But a C-USA logo could be painted on top of it easily!
  8. I like the new MAC logo in the UA colors. The JAR floor was refinished about 6 weeks ago. The key area was lightened and the new logo added. The floor is now two tone. Same wood just a lighter color in the lane. They also added the new men's 3 point line.
  9. Back when the stadium site was just a rumor there were plenty of postings on this board begging UA to buy the "Plasma" building at the southwest corner of Exchange and Brown Sts. Anybody want to guess what that building would go for today?
  10. For all of you stadium cam junkies who are going through withdrawl pains. Here is your daily fix.1st picture taken from the center of the Lee Jackson Track2nd picture isfrom Union Street in front of the entrance to the Stiles Field House looking southFirst view of the "Outdoor Living Room" construction. Picture taken from behind Memorial Hall.Sorry for the quality issues. I only had my cell cam.
  11. The camera problem is not a storm or technical issue. They are just adjusting camers 1 & 2 and installing camera 3 in a new location. The picture below is a crew mounting a third camera (probably the one from the Exchange St telephone pole) on the field house. Picture taken just after noon on 6/24/08.
  12. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080609/bs_nm/apple_dc_11Headline sort of grabs your attention."It's amazingly zippy," Jobs said, showing off the encore to a device that melds a mobile phone, iPod media player and Web browser, nearly a year after the original went on sale.
  13. In the first event of the NCAA Midwest Regional in Fayettville AR, Stevi Large took first place in the Women's Hammer Throw. Way to go Stevi and coach Mitchell !!!!!

  21. The east wall of the east side stands is now above ground level. They have been pouring the wall since late last week. Nice to see the first construction effort reach above street level. The first concrete work has started on the west stands.
  22. The Mr. Hero store at 264 E. Market came down today. UA bought it recently. I would expect the Urban League building next door to Mr. Hero to get demolished pretty soon.
  23. With the south side of the building removed can the alumni on this message board identify this buiding that is being demolished? This picture was taken Sunday (3.30.08) about 1pm. A crew of about 8 were working the project on the weekend.
  24. Looks like Stan Heath and Dan Hipsher will be working in a new practice facility in a few years. USF and UCF are announcing a new facility almost every year.http://www.gousfbulls.com/PhotoAlbum.dbml?...mp;PALBID=17992
  25. Zipsrifle -The team shop will be at street level at the southwest entrance to the stadium. There will be a concourse level entrance for fans already in the stadium on event days. All other days the entrnce is from the exterior doors to the street. See the southwest view of the stadium at the UA Stadium site. The team store is directly to the right of the ticket office.
