Boomer Gets An Upgrade.

Getting him cleaned up and repaired and ready to go for Sept 10th, including raising the depth of the trunion cups so that the barrel sits higher in the correct position.

It would be cool if he got a mute button.

Or maybe equipped to shoot Scrappy/NT Dancer/Cheeleader/Green Brigadier through the air?

Edit: Seriously, thanks Rick! I love Boomer!

Nice job Rick. Here is a link to the tradition and pictures of Boomer on the Talons site I found: http://unt.orgsync.com/org/talons/traditioncannon

Excellent work. A UNT Tradition that we can all appreciate. Nicely done, Sir!

GO MEAN GREEN!

Gagree. Isn't having boomer on the field an injury risk to our players? I don't want any getting hurt by tripping over Boomy Boomsalot. Of course there is a lot of room between the benches and the stands where we can store him.

I also assume we won't be seeing that old car on the field anymore?

I think you are trying too hard.

I've always liked the car. Boomer just drives me crazy.

You sure that's not a putt?.......

What tradition are you talking about? The cannon, or Rick's diligence in making sure it's well cared for? It would be nice if the other Talons were as diligent.

forevereagle · June 1, 2011

We just have to make sure that we don't park Boomer too close to the field on the 10th. I hear that Houston players have trouble running into things like this.

I agree. I know another former Talon that has completely given up the green for burnt orange. Pathetic.

Funny. Coming from a guy who just recently asked our fan base to 'show class' and not make childish gestures towards our opponent. Good idea though, lets make fun our own and then pretend to be classy to the Houston fans.
