Change to the Tombstone Policy


Dec 15, 2017, 1:02 PM

With our current level of success, I think we should change the Tombstone policy to only be built when we beat a team ranked above us on the road.

(Excluding National Championship Games of course)


  Tombstones only for teams ranked above us:    [Results]

individual tombstones for major championships, one tombstone


Dec 15, 2017, 1:04 PM

for all the regular season ranked wins on the road (except Notre Dame in 2020, that should be its own stone made out of Lugubrian marble). There's a tombstone with multiple games/years on it already so there's precedent.

hmm I like that. How about 1 for every ranked team on the road, and then a single for every team ranked above us top 10 minimum?

As we continue to take care of ranked opponents on the road the "grave yard" space has decreased in size. I know parking space is at a premium now due to all the construction taking place. Rather than increase the current "grave yard" I recommend that we move it from the current location, which in turn would free up valuable parking space. The perfect place to move the "grave yard" after a proper ceremony would be "The Hill" since the students won't use it!

Absolutely change it. Also, do a "mausoleum" for this year.


Dec 15, 2017, 1:07 PM

I mean, the Cards, coots, wolfpack, and VT don't really deserve individual monuments. Great wins, but let's just put them all on one headstone.

Is there a tombstone for #4 Nebraska in the 1982 championship game? Thanks.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I was disappointed a few years back when we made a tombstone


Dec 15, 2017, 1:11 PM

for a bowl win.

The original meeting was beating a ranked opponent IN THEIR HOUSE. Now it’s beating a ranked opponent AWAY FROM DEATH VALLEY.

Big difference in my opinion.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

null


I agree no bowl wins, not even championships


Dec 15, 2017, 1:17 PM

neutral is neutral and we are never an underdog

I liked the exception of bowl wins if it was a TOP 10


Dec 15, 2017, 1:25 PM [ in reply to I was disappointed a few years back when we made a tombstone ]

They've even lax'd that too, which is dumb.

celebrate minor wins with a bunch of meaninless memorials.

It's the sort of thing that programs do when they aren't really secure in their status.

Do away with the tombstones altogether ... or at least limit them to *really big wins* on the road.

simple solution - build an upper deck at cemetery

I don't mind parking on fake Graves and I would be sure not harm the tombstones!

But what about dipping dots in the UD graveyard?

I'll be curious to see if we get a stone for the SCAR win


Dec 15, 2017, 6:34 AM

I certainly hope we don't legitimize that team as a "ranked" opponent.

I love the tradition, but we are eventually going to run out of space if we keep using those huge headstones, ontop of the fact that those things are expensive. I wouldn't mind seeing us move the cemetary and do smaller monuments rather than full-on headstones just for space reasons.Something more like FSU's Sod Cemetary.

Need to celebrate them all. But would be ok to have one for each year with each listed to save space. Include championship games and bowl games.
