There are only three games left for Keady Court in its current incarnation. I saw this Tweet this morning and it set off virtually a design frenzy:
Keady Court to be painted this summer. What do you want to see? @BoiledSports @HammerAndRails

The move comes four years after the last re-painting, which supplied us with our current design:
I am a big fan of this one, and there will probably be some minor tweeks, but that did not stop several people from coming up with their own ideas:
How about this? Don't like the new train; motion P gets larger @HammerAndRails @thuff #purduebb #MackeyArena pic.twitter.com/CTnSNZBZ5V

These are solid choices, but then there is this thing, which combines an amalgam of all that is awful:

The new Purdue Pete, the penis-smoke logo, and the ridiculed Makers All all in one? sign me up!
The idea is to get a home court advantage, so why not have a Home. Court. Advantage. Some other suggestions to add:
- Mini-trampoline for more A.J. Hammons blocks if he returns for his senior year.
- Alligator-filled moat inside the opposing three-point arc.
- Boilermaker X-tra Special allowed to be used on fast breaks.
- Trap doors
- Expanding three-point arc for opponents.
- One random wood plank loaded with explosives.
- Multi-ball cannon.
- P at center court made from actual 24-karat gold.
- Glass-topped sarcophagus to inter Gene Keady at center court when he passes away so he can be on permanent display like Lenin or Kim il-Sung.
