Kudos to Jeff Long. I am really starting to like this guy. The "slobbering hog" was out of proportion, and in general, an eye sore. In two to three years, PEL will be hanging some more championship banners. Go Hogs!

They must be reading RazorBloggers…we suggested 360 degree LED ribbon displays circling the arena 16 months ago.

Long overdue and should help in re-developing the "big time" feel of BWA once again.

One of the most interesting things in the article is that they are replacing the classic 'slobbering' Hog at centercourt with the updated official Hog that's on the football helmets. I think it will look good but it will be sad to see the old one go – it's the end of an era. Hopefully, they will make other court changes. I really wish the would splash some white and/or black to offset the red in the keys and baselines. The red by itself with the natural "straw" color of the wood looks very, very bland. Throw some white and black outlines in there or something.

Wow! That's the reason for the price increase!
