Go ahead, smarty, unscramble that.

Those giant gold-on-blue letters sat on a tractor trailer outside Mountaineer Field tonight, part of the finishing touches to the new, $5 million scoreboard still being tested before its debut Saturday for Villanova-West Virginia. After practice, Panasonic types opened up a long banquet table and sat at the doorstep to the south end zone, trying out the electronic sucker that's three times wider than the previous scoreboard. A crane remained in front of the adjoining football facility, awaiting to adorn the gizmo with such final pieces as advertising and the stadium name.

You betcha, those letters are supposed to spell out Milan Puskar Stadium. If you noticed -- no master's-degree jokes just yet, please -- missing from the truck was a KA.
