I miss John Madden in the booth. I bust out Madden 05 when I'm feeling nostalgic.

RIP to them both

Dick Enberg "OH MY" another great announcer along with Vin Scully, the latter passing since the last post of this thread (along with Madden). I learned of Vin's passing when I was on my Caribbean vacation

I used to love it as a 10 year old in early 2002 lol

Thanks!
 

Haha! Well, given the premise of this series, I'll take it. 

 

Thanks for the feedback! Here are the Green Monsters with your suggested tweaks:

 

 

 

I feel like my original version has more personality, but to each his own.

 

Next up are the Chicago Southpaws!

SOUTHPAWS HOME:

 

SOUTHPAWS ROAD:

SOUTHPAWS HOME ALT:

SOUTHPAWS ROAD ALT:

 

Notes:

 

- Ask any South Sider what Southpaw is supposed to be, and I doubt you'll get a convincing answer. He appears to be a furry dragon of some kind, but don't ask me why he's the mascot of a team called the "White Sox."

- I leaned into Southpaw's green color for this one, which would give the Southside Irish a color scheme they'd love rooting for. 

- The White Sox have historically only seldomly worn their full team name on their jerseys, so I maintained that tradition here, shortening the name to "Paws" on the home and road alt. 

- Since "Southpaw" also is a term for a lefthander, I repurposed the Sox' batterman logo into a lefthanded pitcher. 

 

C&C appreciated! Only a few teams left. 

Looks also like a dinosaur to me

So that means St. Francis (NY) pulled a Lincoln Christian (a former NAIA/NCCAA school), meaning that they just dropped/discontinued its entire athletics program, but is keeping the school alive; which would mean that St. Francis would still remain active (hence the campus moving and expansion). Recently Trinity International (an NAIA school) did it similarly too.

Speaking of local schools closing/in danger of closing, I figured this will be in your wheelhouse since these schools are not D1.

Bloomfield College will merge with Montclair State, and New Jersey City University (NJCU) & William Paterson have been aggressive in balancing their budget so they cut down their funding. Sad to see these colleges struggle particularly NJCU since it is in my city and I had family who graduated from there

I wanted FDU to go to the Sweet 16 so bad. Just to see MSG full of Knights fans and locals raise the roof after every FDU basket.

Oh well at least we have Princeton

In non March Madness news Pitino is about to go to St Johns. Bar raiser for the program

The O symbol reminds me of the O in the Cup Noodles logo

RIP St. Francis Brooklyn Terriers athletics

They even got away with wearing the white one at Arsenal, no? Kinda surprising but fortunate for us all.

It looked nice only bad thing was United lost

From a person who used to dislike egg yolk... damn this is amazing

The day after they smacked the Penguins 6-0 on National TV, The Rangers lead 7-0 over the Predators in the 2nd period!! Can they get 10??

Michigan State and UConn back to the Sweet 16!

And what a game it was!

 

I've actually been able to catch a good many of these games due to being snowed in...caught that one from top to bottom. The fact that Arkansas pulled off that comeback with dang near half their players either in foul trouble or completely fouled out (Kansas was in the bonus with about 10:00 to go in the game) was huge for them. Not that I have anything against the Jayhawks, but as a current enrollee and future Sooie Pig alumnus, naturally I have  a vested interest in all things Hogs these days, so...WOO PIG SOOIE!!!

 

^{(Now of course the question is can they finally break through the glass ceiling at the Sweet 16?)}

Congrats to your Razorbacks!  

And you never know, we knew there was no clear cut fave as @Sykotyk said so Arkansas may very well make a run to Houston.

And speaking of the Cougars, they are trailing big against Auburn as I type this. So another #1 could go down tonight. This has got to be the craziest NCAA tournament ever. EDIT: Houston came back.

DOWN GO THE DEFENDING CHAMPION KANSAS JAYHAWKS! DOWN GOES ANOTHER #1 SEED BEFORE THE SECOND WEEKEND!

Arkansas Razorbacks with the comeback win.

That loss must have been enough for Ten Hag to virtually abandon the kit. I have not seen those uniforms at all, if not only once or twice since that match vs Brentford. And I highly doubt we'll see them going forward.

And I don't blame him

I imagine they could put their name out there in Germany, even partner with a team from Germany

What a nightcap. FAU/Memphis and TCU/ASU were both fantastic. 

Poor FAU, they are gonna be the unexpected villains on Sunday. The nation will be cheering for FDU outside the 561 area code and some salty Purdue fans lol.

Metlife turf getting replaced

FDU joins my alma mater St. Peter's in shocking the world.

Un friggin real.

16 over 1 used to feel like the impossible journey. Now it feels like the seeding barely means anything anymore.

Purdue has the worst luck against NJ schools lately lol.

First St. Peter's now Fairleigh Dickinson. Wow.

If Fairleigh Dickinson pull this off...

New Jersey is not done shocking the college basketball world!

Princeton!
