Yac12 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 While watching the Florida at Tennessee game I remembered that Tennessee once had the state outline at center court. I was trying to think of schools that have or had them. The current one I could think of is North Carolina, Texas, and Texas T&M. I know that Kansas had one before the did the large Jayhawk and Michigan State has 2 small ones with State going through it.Are there schools that still use it besides the ones I thought of? Are there schools that had them in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMac12 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I don't know if they still do it, but Missouri had the state outline near center court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yac12 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Being a fan of Big 10 basketball, I can't believe I forgot about IU.If I remember right, Maryland and Virginia also had the state outline on the court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle Jim Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Kentucky had it at the old Memorial Coliseum before they moved to Rupp Arena in 1976. I'm guessing it remained for several years after that, but I'm not sure.For some reason, I doubt Wyoming or Colorado ever did this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yac12 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Kentucky had it at the old Memorial Coliseum before they moved to Rupp Arena in 1976. Apparently it remained after that, as the photo below will indicate. Notice that the end zone reads "Lady Cats". Not sure when it was done away with.There is a big UK at center court now, along with a thick outline for the volleyball court.http://www.ukathletics.com/athletic-dept/memorial-coliseum-volley.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlisle1974 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Univ. of Illinois had outlines of the state on their court in the 80's. They may have had this as late as the 90's too.When Ohio State still played in their old arena (St. John Arena), their floor had an outline of Ohio.

Sport Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I literally lived here my freshman year of college. There's soundproofed dorms underneath the seats. Dome Sweet Dome at the Convocation Center in Athens, Ohio. Better known as "The Convo". OU had this court design up until this season. This year they went with a giant "Attack-Cat" logo at center court. Downgrade in my opinion. I don't remember the extra basketball lines, but I think those may have been a temporary thing.

dfwabel Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Louisiana Tech has had it at center court, in numerous variations for years.Indiana State still has one too.Boise State had it prior to switching to their current logo and wordmark.

It's a shame because it was great.Here's the current court: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty interesting, was it nice to live there or just like any other dorm?Aside from a slightly farther walk to class it was a really cool place to live. It's divided into mods of 4 rooms with two rooms upstairs and two downstairs and the four rooms share two bathrooms. The rooms are big too, much bigger than the dorm rooms some friends of mine lived. Like I said, it's soundproofed I couldn't tell if a game was going on or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Boise State had it prior to switching to their current logo and wordmark.Speaking of Boise State, this has to be one of the best courts ever in college basketball:It's a damn shame they got rid of it.

wyopokes2 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 For some reason, I doubt Wyoming or Colorado ever did this. One time my high school team decided to buy undershirts from nikeid and you could choose three logos to put on the sleeve, and of course they decided to put the state outline, and now all I get asked about is why there is a square on my shoulder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Washington State had a state outline in its arena in the 90s (maybe during 2000s as well?)Nebraska had an outline on their floor not too long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanB06 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I want to say UConn did when they played at the old Field House (pre-Gampel Pavilion) but I can't find a picture for the life of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJHillis Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 South Carolina used to have the state outline as you can see in this video. I couldn't find an image, but I was at this game ;>.

Red Wolf Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 This makes me wonder, why don't you see state outlines in other sports? In college football all I can think of is ECU's midfield logo. And nothing comes to mind in anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
