Is anyone savvy enough with a graphics program to take the Arch out of the Watson graphic and replace it with a picture of a Columbia, MO, Wal-Mart strip mall?

You truly are an idiot! When you see a picture of the Arch in print or on TV is the first thing that comes into your mind Missouri? Really? I guess next we will see your famous program, the fighting Harris-Stowe whatevers, using the Arch in all of its athletic media. UMSL-yes; UMC-no. I suggest a field of corn surrounding a Walmart with a tractor in the parking lot, as the icon of Columbia/Boone County. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Let's not act like the intelligence at Mizzou is very high. They might legitimately think the Arch is in Columbia. I personally feel bad for their ignorance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever wants to claim the Gateway Arch can do so, but if you want to visit it and ride to the top and see the view, you have to go to St. Louis. Also, I think everyone should realize that the best views of the Arch and the St. Louis skyline are found in the state of Illinois. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 If mizzou re-does their court and does one of those darker stained outlines in the background, I'm expecting the arch to be on it next time. p.s. I've long thought we should exactly that with our court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arch must be a symbol for all of the Midwest. Wait, I thought the Midwest was located in the United States? The Arch must be a symbol for all of the United States. Wait, I thought the United States was located in North America? The Arch must by a symbol for all of North America. Wait, isn't North America located in the Western Hemisphere? The Arch must be a symbol for the Western Hemisphere. Isn't the Western Hemisphere located on Earth? The Arch must by a symbol for Earth. We can keep going with where things are located.

I'd prefer the shadow skyline though. That might be possible if you used a photo of the St. Louis skyline with the Arch centered in the frame on each baseline, but the radius (or whatever mathematical term should be used) of the Arch and the three-point arc probably don't correspond precisely, so the effect would have to be made very subtle. It would probably give the Bills more homecourt advantage, because they could use the shadings of landmarks on the court as "spots" on the floor.

I try to make a nice joke (a joke I thought of while driving to SLU and seeing the Arch for the first time) and you go and ruin it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
