We need to purchase new dry erase boards for our sideline. Does anybody have any suggestions? We had trouble with the ones we purchased last year towards the end of the season when it was colder or when is was humid.
Thanks

Cheapest you can find from Walmart. They are all useless once they get wet. Throw them out when they are bad, have a stack of them in the office.

Menard's or Home Depot--4' x 8' sheets of melamine paneling--cut them into whatever size you want. Cheap--easy to do--disposable.

Yeah, just get a cheap one. They won't last long regardless, so save your money for more.

Funny story. When I was a GA a long time ago we were on an away game. I was in charge of equipment, amongst everything else. So we had a departure time on a Friday of 7:00am. Naturally I was there at 4:30 getting all of the equipment, vedio stuff, buss meals, basically everything the team needed ready for the road trip. Now this was a D2 college so we didn't have the caravan of trailers that D1 college programs have, nor did we have an Army of equipment managers. It was me and another volunteer. So we are leaving from Arkansas with a game in Louisiana, I'm on the bus going through my head making sure I haven't missed anything that we need.
Headsets. Check. Cameras. Check. Water Jugs. Check. White Boards. Ummmm. Now my DC that I was working for I heard at the AFCA convention, was named "the GA killer". He actually showed me a bullet for a .44 Magnum that had my name etched in it. So you can imagine how white my face got when I realized that I forgot the white boards!!! I looked at the other GA and he started to laugh. "He is going to kill you" he said. Hoping that he didn't want to use it for any meetings that night I devised a plan to get a new white board. Before the team woke up, I called a Taxi, went to Wal-Mart and spent $40 on two new white boards. Now the kicker here is that the DC specifically told me on thursday to not forget the white boards.
So we get to stadium, I get all the sideline equipment set up, and place the white boards facedown. After the first defensive series he grabs the white board to start drawing stuff up, he pauses turns and glares at me for a solid 5 seconds, the whole defense is looking at me. He goes back to the white board and makes some adjustments. When he is done he grabs me and says "you forgot the whiteboards didn't you!!!" He was pissed that the brand new white boards were 4 inches smaller than the old beat up ones back in Arkansas. He didn't talk to me again until Sunday film.
So I learned a very tough lesson. Don't forget the GD white boards.
