    I love old, classic/vintage logos. I love franchises like the Yankees, Celtics and Browns who keep the same basic style of uniform for years.

  1. So what you are saying is... assuming Colorado bolts for the PAC-10 (11), the 2 most likely contenders for the Big XII to reestablish at 12 teams would be Colorado State and Utah State. Anyone else have thoughts on this scenario?
  2. Rewinding a bit when the whole Conference Realignment started, let me lay out a scenario: Nebraska joins the Big Ten, bringing the Big Ten to 12 teams and the Big XII to 11 teams.The PAC-10 extends invites to Colorado and Utah.Utah accepts, bringing the PAC-10 to 11 teams.Colorado remains loyal to the Big XII, remaining at 11 teams.The Big XII does NOT invite West Virginia, in favor of regional expansion/loyalty.What would be the most likely scenario concerning Utah State, Colorado State, and Brigham Young? Would Utah push the PAC-10 (11) to add Utah State?Would Colorado push the Big XII (11) to add Colorado State?Would the PAC-10 be more interested in adding a "national" brand like Brigham Young?Would Brigham Young entertain the PAC-10 if the Big XII doesn't come calling?Would the Big XII prefer to expand into a different state/territory and add Utah State or Brigham Young?Would the PAC-10 prefer to expand into different state/terriroty and add Colorado State?Are there 2 other Universities that would be more likely to bring the PAC-10 (11) to 12 teams and the Big XII (11) back to 12 teams?
  3. Looking for the Ohio State Buckeyes Pro Combat/Rivalry uniform numbers/font:
  4. Ya know... In modern America, I feel like we hear/read something every day that is dumber than the previous day.
  5. This... is not an attempt. ...its a slaying (slay means good). Nice job.
  6. Personally, I thought this was the third best option behind keeping the Aeros... or changing it to Gum Dippers.
  7. I was wondering if someone could help me out with a conversion. Illustrator has the option to convert files with the layers to photoshop. The process is as follows: Open the file in Illustrator, File > Export and change the file extension to .PSD. Here is a link for reference: http://vectips.com/tips/export-illustrator-files-to-photoshop/ Here is the link to the template: http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/94882-nike-hypercool-football-template-release/#entry2078487 mattwillcox has already given me permission to get it converted. The version of photoshop I am using it CS3.
  8. Hey, we'll finally get to play Iowa in my grad year here. Two teams in the same conference shouldn't go four years in a row without playing each other. Kinda nice that we'll be in the "easy" division too. But this really screws over IU. Indiana would have been hosed regardless. Don't tell me that they would expect to win a West division against Wisconsin, Northwestern and Nebraska. They would have had a better shot in the West than in the East with Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State, and even Rutgers (seeing that Rutgers had the 3rd best recruiting class this year in the B1G TEN).
  9. It's not a Conference if a member team only comes to town once a decade. Twice per decade.
  10. Personally, I think 20 works out better than 16. I don't think for one second that the B1G TEN doesn't have at least the outline for a 20 team conference in mind. Just think, 4 divisions of 5 schools. You play every team in your division every year and 1 team from each of the other divisions on a rotatings basis. You have your 8 league games and will still be able to schedule to warm up games and 2 out of conference games.
  11. The AAC... it doesn't roll off the tongue like the ACC does. I can't believe they would go with an accronym that is so close to another conference's. I guess it could just reinforce that they are going to try and push farther west and pick up more little brother schools in major markets across the country. The AAC is nothing but a renamed Mid Major.
  12. No one thinks the B16 TEN is done expanding. Nothing insightful or profound with that statement.
  13. AAU Membership is big (sorry) for the B16 TEN, but the main academic factor is research dollars. AAU Membership is just a bonus, as long as the large amount of research funding is there. It doesn't matter if AAU member schools are within the B16 TEN foot print, i.e. Iowa State, Pitt. The B16 TEN isn't adding a school within its footprint unless its ND... and I'm pretty sure that ship has sailed. The B16 TEN won't add Duke if they already have North Carolina, they won't take Kansas State if they already have Kansas, and they won't take Pitt since they already have Penn State. Being outside of the current foot print is 1A and 1B most important factors along with large amounts of research dollars from the State and Federal Governments.
  14. It's the same source. Yeah, not my finest post. It was late and I was adding that from a tablet, so I missed some of the earlier conversation. Back to a 20 team Big Ten. If UVA and UNC are #15-16, who are the other four? All ACC members, or does the league consider making offers to schools like Kansas and Missouri? Interestingly enough, a 20 team format allows for two divisions of 10 (or 4x5), but it cleverly allows the league to market themselves as "The Big Ten(s)" Considering North Carolina and Virginia as 15 and 16... Gerogia Tech will definitely be in play with Kansas or Kansas State being 17 and 18. I would lean towards Kansas State because they are receiving heavy research dollars and their basketball and football teams are more competitive than Kansas', however Kansas does have a larger national following in football. Not to mention, the recent surge of the B16 TEN in basketball. As for 19 and 20, I think there is some room for dispute. I think they ultimately would like to add Missouri (as I believe Missouri was in the long term plans before they jumped to the SEC). I would have to believe Clemson and Florida State would also be in play and strongly pushed for.
