No need for pictures today because the scoreboard doesn’t look much different. However, people from Panasonic were testing the videoboard Tuesday night at player/coach interviews. At one point they were spotted engaging in a brief fist-pump. The skeleton for the ribbon is up above the visitor’s sideline, but needs work. I asked eight of the 42 media people in attendance what they thought and five said there was no way it’d be done. Two said they were hopeful. One used an expression I cannot reproduce here.

There appear to be other upgrades, as well, as revealed by — gasp! — Chuck Finder’s blog.

Those giant gold-on-blue letters sat on a tractor trailer outside Mountaineer Field tonight, part of the finishing touches to the new, $5 million scoreboard still being tested before its debut Saturday for Villanova-West Virginia. After practice, Panasonic types opened up a long banquet table and sat at the doorstep to the south end zone, trying out the electronic sucker that’s three times wider than the previous scoreboard. A crane remained in front of the adjoining football facility, awaiting to adorn the gizmo with such final pieces as advertising and the stadium name.

You betcha, those letters are supposed to spell out Milan Puskar Stadium. If you noticed — no master’s-degree jokes just yet, please — missing from the truck was a KA.
