Part of me thinks they were only up for commencement. I wouldn't mind being wrong, however.

The Convo was absolutely beautiful for Saturday's commencement-what a jewel that facility is!

They also had 4 video monitors hanging from the center of the arena displaying graphics for Commencement.  I don't know if they've done that for previous commencements but they had them for this one.  I wonder if that's an option for future basketball games.

Hope they stay up. Maybe we don't lose all those home games this year if they're hanging up there...




...yeah I don't think so either.

Saul walked in and  said "Hey didn't this place have a bunch of flags up there when I came in 2002?  Get them back up there."

University always places them in the catwalk for graduation.  I believe former facilities guy liked them and he kept them for a few years.  Suppossed to represent flags of every student on campus (not sure if this is still true).

Anyone have images of these?  That would be a great addition for all sports played inside the friendly confines.

Also, while the international flags are nice, I'd rather see some hanging in their place that more depicted Ohio Basketball, Volleyball, and Wrestling.  Player images, or some kind of Ohio Bobcat graphics.

That is what we were told on the recruiting visit. Pretty impressive if true. There are somefolk out there that believe that we should put the conference flags up instead.

Perhaps there's a way to combine both?

No way should a Miami flag ever be flying in the Convo.

Maybe we could hang a Miami flag up with the rest, yet color it Green and White.

Hang it upside down. Years ago when I was at a game in Oxford the 110 did this and it almost caused a riot.  We should be safe doing it in Athens!
