Not to mention the damn seating debacle and that freak-ass winter storm the week of the game. That was a disaster for Dallas, but they'll get another chance to host one; the NFL would be foolish not to at least give AT&T Stadium another shot. And having everything spread out might have been an issue as well. Just Dallas and Fort Worth should have everything (with the game in Arlington, of course). Dallas gets the NFC with half the events and Ft. Worth gets the AFC with the other half of the events.

The first Super Bowl that WE hosted... and they give us this lazy ass field and start the corporate cookie-cutter logo with us. smh.

I'm kinda surprised no one has asked for this one yet...

The Super Bowl logo for this was pretty cool, giving the whole space vibe since the Super Bowl was in Houston. It's a shame the Astrodome never got a Super Bowl, because I think it could've supported at least one Super Bowl since it was, at one point deemed the "8th Wonder of the World". ... you know, I never really thought of that before. The Astrodome was around the first time Houston hosted. Why was it at Rice?

Oh, I'm sorry then. Perhaps I should ask permission next time before I post anything here....

... you put waaaay too much thought into a POINTLESS Realignment thread. Damn. Again, this is just personal preference, not some definitive statement on what each of those leagues WILL look like in 2024.

I knew this was coming... First off, do you really think THIS is the thread, titled "The Pointless Realignment Thread", for that question? Second, I said "according to simply what I would want to see... Third, you know what, yeah, I do one day see Fort Worth with at least an NBA team. It wont be any time soon. It more than likely wont even be a decade from now. But maybe one day if this city. DFW isn't that far away from the entire Bay Area in terms of market size, you know.

*sigh*

I had something similar to this last year: The PAC 16, B1G, SEC, and ACC are the "Big Four", each with 16 schools. The remaining schools in the other conferences see this and know that they'd have to do something to try to compete. So the C-USA, American, MAC, Mountain West, Sun Belt, and the Independents all form 4 conferences of 16 teams themselves.The American Athletic Conference decides to become somewhat of a mini-NFL, creating one 2 conference league with 16 teams and 4 divisions. Of course, the NCAA rejected the idea, so instead, the AAC split into two conferences to represent the east and west. This would spawn the U.S. Athletic Conferences (E.U.S.A.C & W.U.S.A.C.) taking what is in the AAC and some of the remaining schools. The Mountain West basically becomes the W.U.S.A.C. and C-USA mostly making up the E.U.S.A.C.With a few FCS schools moving up, it made it possible for the Sun Belt and MAC to have 16 schools in the conference as well. The MAC became the "Rust Belt Conference", as an opposite to the Sun Belt.At the time, the College Football Playoff was expanded to 6 schools with consideration of making it an 8-team playoff. Seeing how there were now 8 "Super Conferences", it made sense to have 8 teams in a playoff, but the NCAA and the conference presidents knew instantly that there would be some deserving teams left out, so instead of 8, the powers that be decided to bite the bullet and make it a full 16 team playoff. No more, no less. There are no more independent schools and each conference has a title game.The playoffs are set to where the conference winner will play one of the selected 8 teams in the first round (technically the playoffs start with the conference championship games, but I digress) and it's still set up to where one side of the bracket features the #1 seed while the other side features #2.The First Round takes place at the home field of the top seed. The 2nd round takes place in 2 selected neutral fields, both sites hosting 2 games each. The Final Four would take place in 2 of the rotating bowl games that is now being used for the current format. The playoffs begin the 2nd week of December.B1G - West // Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Kansas, Kansas St. - East // Purdue, Indiana, Ohio St., Michigan, Michigan St., Penn St., Rutgers, Maryland SEC - West // Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss, Miss St., Texas A&M, Arkansas, LSU, TCU - East // Florida, Georgia, S.

Texas, NMSU, Sam Houston St. Rust Belt - East // ODU, UMass, Temple, Buffalo, Appalachian St., Marshal, Kent St., Akron - West // NDSU, NIU, Ball St., EMU, CMU, WMU, Toledo, Bowling Green With a 16 team playoff: OR, two different 8 team playoffs With the Bowl games associated with it: And how this all works: - For the first 5 years of this system, the 7th bowl game would just be another neutral 2nd/3rd round site. - The second time that particular bowl is used for a playoff spot, it would be the site for the National Championship game. It would continue that way for 5 years and after that, the NCG would go back to the regular bowls used for it. - for example: 2015: NCG - Cotton / 7th Bowl - Indy2016: NCG - Rose / 7th Bowl - Outback2017: NCG - Sugar / 7th Bowl - Capital One2018: NCG - Fiesta / 7th Bowl - Texas2019: NCG - Orange / 7th Bowl - Holiday2020: NCG - Indy2021: NCG - Outback2022: NCG - Capital One2023: NCG - Texas2024: NCG - Holiday2025: NCG - Chick-Fil-A / 7th Bowl - Indy2026: NCG - Alamo / 7th Bowl - OutbackAnd so on... Regular Season scheduling would require each school to play: - All 7 schools in their respective division - One school within the conference in the other division - At least 2 (4, max) schools in other conferences (at least one from the "Major 4" and at least one from the "Minor 4")

Fort Worth had an Arena Football team.... for a year. But still, to commemorate 20 years of their very, VERY brief existence, I'd like to see your take on the Fort Worth Cavalry's very plain, clipart like logo. Their colors were Navy and Gold So, whenever you can, whenever you're free, you think you could take a swing at this one? I'd appreciate it.

If I never saw this before, I'd think that would be a great NEW logo for any team. Good job.

Ok.... FBS Realignment v2 Realignment is finished... for now. But when it picks back up, what NEEDS to happen is to just have 8 conferences with 16 teams. I know this idea has been thrown out before, but this is my interpretation. This is what I see happening: The Big XII breaks up... So, that leaves 10 schools up for grabs.Those 8 of those 10 Big XII shools are grabbed by 4 of the surviving conferences. The PAC 12 gains 16 by taking Texas, T-Tech, OU and Oklahoma St. The ACC takes West Virginia to join up with former Big East rivals, also beefing the number up to 16. The Big Ten gets their 16 by adding both Kansas schools. And the SEC, choosing one more Texas school, takes TCU. This leaves out Baylor and Iowa St.The PAC 16, B1G, SEC, and ACC are the "Big Four", each with 16 schools. The remaining schools in the other conferences see this and know that they'd have to do something to try to compete. So the C-USA, American, MAC, Mountain West, Sun Belt, and the Independents all form 4 conferences of 16 teams themselves.The American Athletic Conference decides to become somewhat of a mini-NFL, creating one 2 conference league with 16 teams and 4 divisions. Of course, the NCAA rejected the idea, so instead, the AAC split into two conferences to represent the east and west.

And THIS is what the Browns should do in 2015... (but not put it on the helmet like some people think)

Damn this takes me back...

Awesome. Thanks again!

If it's not too much trouble, could I get the wallpaper for TCU's update? Any size.

This one proved to be quite a challenge keeping it faithful to the original! Wasn't sure if I should post it or not but here it is. Hope I did it justice? Good. VERY good... only one problem... There's no purp.

He already did that one.

I was going to ask for this as an alumnus of this school. But......

... what the hell is THIS supposed to be? From what I've read it's a wolfman. 1922 would have been well before the Lon Chaney JR movies. Now why a wolfman on a team named Providence Steam Rollers? I dunno. It looks like the logo for some studio that does sitcoms.

... what the hell is THIS supposed to be?

I may become a Furry thanks to this...

This is terrific! This is what they should use when they redesign in 2015! ... when they redesign in 2015? WHAT?
