And I'll bet they squeezed a few oranges, too. (i.e. Ben Hill Griffin, Jr.) ;-)

Soon you can Wanna watch UF on a 137-by-30-foot screen? Soon you can By JEREMY FOWLER |SENTINEL STAFF WRITER January 21, 2009 -----------------------snip, snip, snip---------------------- "If you were at the BCS National Championship game and saw those boards [at Dolphin Stadium] and then came to our celebration and saw ours, you'd know it was time," Hill said. "We squeezed every lemon that we could on this current setup we have." Many schools in the SEC have impressive video boards, including Mississippi State's reported $6.1-million project for a 111-by-47-foot screen that debuted in 2008. Hill couldn't confirm a raw number but said the project should be less than such a figure. This isn't a university expense, which would be a difficult check to cash during a faltering economy. The University Athletic Association is fronting the project with the help of private dollars and a rights agreement with Fox.
