Why doesn't Wyoming hang a title banner for the 1934 team?

They need to get it back up there A.S.A.P.
The facilities needs list reads like this:
Pave Parking Lot(they were going to do it this year but I think they're using the money to paint the field to traditional yellow).
West side of War Memorial concessions and restrooms.
Corbett Pool
Arena Auditorium.
I would expect the parking lot will be done next summer and they'll prioritize and get into the other projects in about three years. We're doing good facilities wise. All the new academic facilities are amazing. We built the Rac 10 years ago, when it was cheaper. That's a nice building. I think it cost around 6 million at the time, which was a steal. We dropped 12 million on the IPF. We spent 26 million on the luxury boxes. That's 38 million within the last three seasons on football facilities. We increased the football budget by about 2 million in the last couple of seasons, and the luxury box project will bump it another million or so.
I can't wait to see the AA renovated. That building has a history. We we're voted national champions in 1934 by the Helms foundation. We won it outright in 1943. We would have won it again in 1944 if it wasn't for the WWII. We really need to redo the banners in the AA and display our history with pride.
