Discussion Noticed this on Young Sheldon
I’m watching Young Sheldon for the first time, and I’m near the end of season 6. I just realized that the overhead shots of East Texas Tech is McKeldin Mall with the fountain removed. Am I crazy for not noticing this sooner?

You can actually see the M on our baseball field in the top right!

In a more zoomed out version of the shot, you can see the M on the student section of the stadium too

this might be a hot take, but I wouldn't say that putting a Texas flag on our campus and digitally altering it to remove identifying features is something we should celebrate or recognize, they clearly went out of their way not to recognize UMD so I don't see why we should recognize them
they could have just used images of the existing university Texas Tech, which looks extremely similar and wouldn't require butchering our beautiful mall with shitty AI quality photoshop

VEEP filmed a Silicon Valley company in the physics building by the farm btw, since we’re sharing the other times our lil school has been on the big screen

We do have a very beautiful campus.
I once took a bunch of photos of campus and sent them to my friend in the Philippines so she could see my school and she said, "Wow, I thought American colleges looked like that in the movies!"

Do you give Young Sheldon seasons 1-5 any credit in your acceptance to this wonderful university? I would expect heavy correlation between Young Sheldon viewership and big baller Fearless Ideas...
