After the end of college football season last year, I decided that I wanted to have a sports ticker on my jukebox screen for the next season.
Well, that's almost here, so I'm trying to get the bugs worked out.
Over on
this thread posted in the everything else forum, NiN^_^NiN came up with the best solution for me using ESPN bottom line.

(I have no interest in getting a betabrite sign. I want the info on the jukebox, which is visible from the bar and won't be playing music during games)
I have it installed and it works great, but I'd like it improved upon if someone has the skills and time. (I lack the skills)
I'm opening it with firefox and then pressing F11 to go fullscreen.
The ticker is displayed at the top of the screen. Is there a way to make it centered?
It's a 4:3 screen at 800x600 resolution if it matters.
I've changed size of the ticker by changing the code, but haven't settled on a size.
To have it big enough to see from a distance, it looks like I'll only be able to have the red section showing.
I also copied and pasted the code below itself and got two tickers running at the same time.
If it's possible to position them, would it be possible to adjust the position of the second one so that it shows the black area that is cut off on first one?
Here is what it looks like:

Here is what I'm hoping to be able to do:

If the top one could overlap the orange section of the bottom one, that would be perfection, but I'd be happy with any amount of help.
