Yeah it does seem to be taking awhile, I seem to recall in 2011 they got the sign up in like 2 days or something. Malloy, get off your ass!

I called the Connecticut DOT and was told that they have run out of the numbers 2, 0, 1 and 4 and the letter "N", but they ordered them and they go and check the PO box every day.

I think it will take a while. Maybe start of the school year ? I remember looking to see if it changed after the Field Hockey team won the National Championship, and that was back in the Fall.

It's for real. I spoke to a guy named Ed.

Ed said the snow plow guys knocked over a lot of signs on Route 201 and they used up all of those numbers pretty quickly. They don't know what happened with the "4"s and the "N"s, but Ed thought maybe someone put them in the wrong drawer or something.

They hope the numbers come any day because two guys who do that kind of work probably want to go on vacation with their kids when school lets out in June.

Actually, I heard through a reliable source that Otis, who typically handles the number & letter inventory, really tied-one on after the UCONN men won number 4 & he just can't remember where he put the stuff… Anyway, Andy & Barney are all over it so this should all be remedied sometime soon.

Hi, Ed here
I should have the letters in after Easter and the sign will go up shortly thereafter

DOT is run by a bunch of Syracuse alums. They used 2,1,4,0 & 5 on 2014 25-0 signs that they sent to Syracuse Fans for their man caves to go along with their T-Shirts. I think Malloy ought to get to the bottom of this scandal.
If the DOT were run by Syracuse alums, they wouldn't have any numbers larger than one.

No, it was the next day in 2011; it was up by the victory rally at Gampel!

They ought to just put up a sign with all the national championships and years listed. The good thing about doing it that way is by leaving enough blank spaces, you could just add the years of our future championships as they occur, without having to erect a new sign. The downside risk is the sign would have to be so huge to fit all the championship seasons on it that drivers would be distracted, causing accidents on the freeway.

I went by that exit on Friday and was surprised there wasn't a new sign already. In previous years it was up much quicker. I wonder what the hold up is.

Was there yesterday, no change yet. And Field Hockey did win in the fall, I guess the DOT was holding out to see what the spring would bring.

Good job Malloy. I drove by 5 traffic sites the other day with 20 loser DOT scumbags standing around. Can't they take 3-4 days with 10 of them and do the sign??

Sorry if posted, but has anyone got an updated look at the exit sign?

I'd imagine the hold up is not with the guys who actually install the sign.
