Most schools do banners were they'll have something like "Pac-12 Tournament Champions" and then leave room so you can print future years you win it on the same banner...like "Pac-12 Tournament Champions: 2012, 2013, 2015" or "NCAA Sweet Sixteen: 2013, 2015, 2016". Hope we're ready to have a whole lot of those for various achievements within the next couple decades.
Am I the only one who thinks 'liability risk' when they first saw this? 200lbs of rock hanging by two chains directly over peoples heads.
I have a video that i took that I will attempt to post!
I had no idea you play the tuba. Cool. I guess.
Not really a fan of that banner. I'd rather see more of a traditional banner that can have a bunch of siblings placed next to it, or one that allows a list to be added to it.
I expect a lot out of our basketball program in the coming years, so I'm not excited about seeing a unique rock that makes it seem like that accomplishment was so unique that it wont happen again.

I wish the AD would have saved the money spent on that artwork to use as part of an Embree buyout.

I like it if that one banner is being treated as the "cornerstone" that we're building our program on. Let's face it, what we got to see last year was extremely special a la the Rockies run to the World Series a few years ago. It was so unlikely, and done so dramatically, that it is a special moment in our school's history. This is one that you point to and tell recruits, "This is where everything turned around for Colorado Men's Basketball. This is THE moment."
Now, what I'd really like to see is them win enough of those that we can take them out of the rafters and line the concourse walls of a renovated Keg with them!

I agree with a lot of what you're saying. However, this was a conference tournament -a very weak conference that year - not a final 4 run. Also, that Rockies run was spectacular, but that NL champs flag sign is horrible.

Some people would bitch if they were hung with a new rope.
The banner looks great. I love that it is different. I also think that winning the Pac 12 Championship in CU's inaugural year is an accomplishment that warrants something bigger than those other banners. When Tad wins a National Championship, we'll make room for something equally impressive.
