This picture was sent to me by Carla Wehmyer, part of Pittsburg State’s PR department. So thanks, Carla.
And more importantly, WELCOME TO THE JUNGLETRON
I mentioned the new scoreboard at Pittsburg State in my notebook a couple of weeks ago, but for those not in the know, this $1.7 million monolith will make its debut on Saturday as the No. 7-ranked Gorillas (2-0) take on Missouri Southern (2-0) in the annual Miner’s Bowl. Pittsburg State has won two tough, close games on the road and their fans are chomping at the bit to see them and the new addition to Carney-Smith Stadium.
But unfortunately for those of you trying to get a ticket to the game, it ain’t happening.
This one’s a sellout, and Coach/A.D. Chuck Broyles is saying that for safety reasons, nobody else is getting in.
Possibly, though, he’ll make it up to you with a special screening of Smokey and the Bandit, which he says he’d like to watch on the new Jungletron if he ever gets a chance. Coach, I’m pretty sure you could swing it.
