That is pretty impressive, even if it is a replica of the the gates of hell.
January 19th, 2011 at 1:33 PM ^
Too much time, seriously. I thought it was impressive, then I read this:
It took about 1,000 hours over two years. He studied the stadium, bought or traded for pieces and improvised, such as making pipes for the restrooms out of chrome parts from a Lego truck.
WHO HAS THAT MUCH TIME ON THERE HANDS? Guess that's why I am not so impressed with the quality of professors here...
January 19th, 2011 at 12:40 PM ^
GET IT AWAY!!!!!!
January 19th, 2011 at 12:45 PM ^
Ick. The Halo.
/Tom Goss-related involuntary shudder.
January 19th, 2011 at 12:49 PM ^
January 19th, 2011 at 12:53 PM ^
People flipped out about it, but I was kinda indifferent. I guess it was a little too flashy for the bluehairs
January 19th, 2011 at 1:18 PM ^
It wasn't the halo that bothered me but the words on it. Why do we needed to be reminded of the school's fight song every time we enter the stadium or drive by?
January 19th, 2011 at 2:08 PM ^
Don't think I'm a bluehair (LS&A 1995). Just thought it was incredibly tacky and inconsistent with the overall image presented by the stadium.
January 19th, 2011 at 2:41 PM ^
Contrast that with the new brickwork, which has added a touch of class to the stadium (which, in all honestly, was pretty bland-looking from the outside beforehand). A huge improvement.
January 19th, 2011 at 12:47 PM ^
Looking at that picture, I am much happier with the direction Bill Martin took redeveloping the stadium.
January 19th, 2011 at 12:30 PM ^
He forgot the toothless junkies and empty beer cans that occupy it.
January 19th, 2011 at 12:32 PM ^
10,000 Alumni and 74,000 truck drivers.
January 19th, 2011 at 12:41 PM ^
Saw the signature on the back and immediately looked for a 2. Disappointed it wasn't there. She probably is Terelle's type, too.
January 19th, 2011 at 12:53 PM ^
Everybody looses (sic) teeth...
January 19th, 2011 at 12:55 PM ^
Looses them to me, to you...
January 19th, 2011 at 12:33 PM ^
and the beer coolers filled with poop left outside of it....
January 19th, 2011 at 12:31 PM ^
Am I a terrible person for wanting to chuck bowling ballsat that thing? /s
<br>
<br>But seriously, that's pretty impressive. Now everyone clear me a path while I wind up.
January 19th, 2011 at 2:02 PM ^
Makes me want to consult with Metallica's pyrotechnics guy.
January 19th, 2011 at 12:31 PM ^
shouldnt he be doing research or studying something instead of playing with toys?
January 19th, 2011 at 12:45 PM ^
Playing with Legos is an official department at OSU. The administration decided to reconfigure their academic priorities to match their student's skill-sets.
January 19th, 2011 at 12:54 PM ^
Terrelle Pryor took Lego as a pass/fail, but didn't show up for the final...now he has to go back for his senior year to re-take it.
January 19th, 2011 at 12:55 PM ^
Playing with Legos is what TP is getting his degree in.
January 19th, 2011 at 12:33 PM ^
Two years, 1,000 hours? Damn, he really wanted a Lego toilet seat.
January 19th, 2011 at 12:38 PM ^
Any bets on whether that kid in the grey shirt had been that close to a...woman before? He looks awfully happy.
January 19th, 2011 at 12:50 PM ^
Those aren't women... have you seen Transamerica?
January 19th, 2011 at 12:50 PM ^
That is going to be his luckiest Wal-Mart belt...ever.
January 19th, 2011 at 12:53 PM ^
In all fairness, it's probably his only one so it's not like he can choose a different belt.
Meth aint cheap. Oh wait....Meth aint cheap [for a tsio grad).
January 19th, 2011 at 12:56 PM ^
Its probably the balls on the back of his neck.
January 19th, 2011 at 1:00 PM ^
Wow. Comment of the day. +1 to you sir (or ma'am).
January 19th, 2011 at 2:02 PM ^
Its a true honor.
January 19th, 2011 at 2:06 PM ^
Haha it's probably too early to assume it'll be the best comment all day. But it was really funny. Funny enough that I will now +1 you for this comment, since I can only +1 the other one one time. (Record for number of ones in a sentence?)
January 19th, 2011 at 12:39 PM ^
That must be fake, those girls appear to be attractive.
January 19th, 2011 at 12:43 PM ^
Russian mail ordered fans....
January 19th, 2011 at 12:46 PM ^
They are lured with false promises of a quality education.
January 19th, 2011 at 12:47 PM ^
In Soviet Russia, mail orders you.
January 19th, 2011 at 12:34 PM ^
It only took him 1000 hours and two years. That's fast! I wonder if he's single?
January 19th, 2011 at 12:37 PM ^
If he is single but that dude needs laid
January 19th, 2011 at 12:41 PM ^
It says lower down in the article that he took up building with children's toys as a way to give himself carpal tunnel syndrome, which his doctor recommended he acquire so that it would be more difficult to continue his chronic masturbation habit. So maybe you're on to something.
January 19th, 2011 at 12:37 PM ^
Playing with Legos is one of the most popular majors at tSIO.
January 19th, 2011 at 12:38 PM ^
I wonder what kind of coin t pryor can get out of that
January 19th, 2011 at 12:49 PM ^
He should probably use the leftover Legos to build himself a new wife, considering he'll probably need it.
January 19th, 2011 at 1:15 PM ^
Isn't that where he got his Lego's in the first place though?
January 19th, 2011 at 12:50 PM ^
I wonder where they found the trailor trash edition legos.
January 19th, 2011 at 1:01 PM ^
Well he built it in Columbus, so there's obviously some regional marketing being done by Lego here.
January 19th, 2011 at 1:06 PM ^
That is really cool.
