    Did you seriously ask if they would format differently with HD sources going to SDTVs? Lol really? It's not capable of displaying HD resolution, why even keep them for replays? You do know that HD is more than just the aspect ratio right?

    Absolutely ridiculous this is even an argument/discussion.
    Well I have a tube tv hooked up to an HD directv receiver and it works just fine, it shows a standard def picture. Why would an analog board not be able to display a standard def picture from an HD source? We're not talking about an over the air antenna here.

    Doesnt matter why. It works. It just has a square around it to reformat. And I don't pay extra for an HD receiver, I pay 1 household fee for hd. Someday I'll upgrade my garage tv

    If you read the WIU game thread, you would have thought we lost already. Hopefully everyone found the ledge they were all standing on and backed off. Although I'm sure the window was plastic wrapped and sealed with duct tape due to the ebola scare, so I'm sure they couldn't have actually fallen out anyway...

    I am so sick of the Bison already. Win this, win that, blah, blah, blah. I'd really, really like to know how they do it. I swear they have to be the luckiest sob's on the planet. Just sick of this bs, just fed up.

    We need one like the Jaguars on one end zone. And one like the Royals scoreboard but instead of the shape of the Royals logo, one in the shape of the Bison logo on the other. The Jags scoreboard is new this year and is the largest scoreboard in the world.



    Problem solved!

    After looking at the pics , I didn't realize how small the 4 corner boards are compared to the endzone .

    I formally withdraw my complaining

    Curious if they can do anything useful with the endzone boards we have now. They are decent boards

    Yeah lets make them real big so the people in the endzone have an obstructed view. Ah hell just make them huge then they could just watch the game on the video board.
