AU_Tiger_88 417 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 If you have a pool table or you may be buying a table then you can pick up the felt here http://www.customtablefelt.com/collegiate-billiard-felt.htm#sec some nice designs.

I would definitely choose the blue one, or even the football field one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUsince72 11,084 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 My bro'in'law made me an AU backboard for my bball goal years ago (he's a MAJORLY talented artist) but it's so nice I've never put it up. It's still in my garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love Auburn, having something like this would mess me up so bad. It looks great from an esthetic point of view, but is a nightmare when you try to line up your shots. I am an excellent pool player and used to make a lot of money back in my days at Duke to earn a few bucks here and there, but would have had to drop out of med school due to lack of funds.

AU13HSV 13 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 This is nice and all...but can we do a little better than slapping AU fat head logos all over the wall? This looks like someones basement rec room in Hoover. This just reinforces we are falling behind in the facilities race (yes I know this is room is open to all students, but it was built specifically for athletes). How does a kid who has toured the Bright Complex at Texas AM or the Mariota Facility at Oregon get excited about this? I can just imagine our staff walking a 5* through this room pointing out all the 55 inch flat screen TVs and Pacman games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is inevitable that we will have something to match those two when the North Endzone renovations are made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah some recruit recently said that Florida's big three can't touch Oregon's facilities. They'll take that to heart. Hopefully we heard they too when we start renovations. Can't stay here, need to tour others before we start building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a disaster, and the project is still not complete... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than maybe Texas, no one has the level of cash flowing into their facilities than Oregon does. Sure, we can go look at what we have, but the ability/funds to actually build it... that's a completely different story. What Auburn needs to do is talk to these guys before tackling facilities upgrades: http://www.dimin.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people would consider Alabama's facilities in the top 5 and their renovation was 9 million. We spent 13 million on a jumbotron. Hell Kansas State just completed an amazing renovation. Auburn just needs better planning of priority projects and when they do build to not skimp on the extras. I would second that D1 should be in charge of the interiors. They do some amazing work.
