On April 21, 2001, the time for a new Basketball Hoop and Backboard had come. Starting early in the day on a beautiful Saturday morning, Mike Sracic started to plan out his masterpiece. As the day grew on, the design of our new backboard started to appear. Here are a few pictures that show the transformation of a single piece of ply wood into an amazing work of art that puts the other fraternity designs to shame. Thanks to everyone who helped make this possible. It really looks good hanging above the front door of the house.
