Is that on the new NES system with preloaded games?

Sorry, but there are ways to have a roof that lets the light in. Look at that new Vikings stadium, and ive even heard that that clear material can support grass growth with the sunlight. A retractable roof that will be used sparingly is an increased cost that isn't needed.
Add some ability to allow fresh air inside and I'm good.
I wonder if a design similar to the new Atlanta stadium could be done for baseball. I think a roof like that would look great in Tampa.

FIFA uses generic jersey fonts for a lot of teams and it is really grinding my gears.
Part of that depends on when teams release their uniforms, though I do hate the crazy fonts they have come up with in place of the actual numbers. Hated that FIFA17 doesn't have Columbus' yellow submarine uniforms even though they've been worn this season.

MLB 16 The Show (the latest one) had the black and blue roundel Royals logo in the dugout. That logo hadn't been used in a long, long time.
Was it where advertising is? Could've been used to cover up that space.

True, but if Texas is 9-0 and played Kansas State with a 4-5 conference record, we'd moan about Oklahoma not playing at 8-1. That's why they did this.

So is the Big XII still planning on playing a nine-game conference schedule and then having a rematch for the title? Seems odd, but if this had been in place a couple years back with TCU and Baylor, I think the winner of that game would have been in over Ohio State, so this might be a perfectly fine way to do things for them.
I know the Sun Belt will have divisions in two seasons when they start playing their conference title game, but those teams still need the money generated from having four non-conference games. Though playing nine and having two potentially strong teams playing at the end may give them a better shot at the access bowl. Then again, it's not often that more than one team is any good in the Sun Belt in a year (if even that). Though I think things worked out really well for the Sun Belt in the long run. They now get to have the added revenue and fanfare of a conference title game like C-USA, but with only 10 teams to split the money among instead of 14, and the Sun Belt already makes more money per team in their TV deal than C-USA.
Yup, it's 1 vs 2. They probably didn't want to split up Okahoma, OK State and Texas. That makes it hard to come up with a good divisional setup that doesn't put all the stronger teams in the same division.

That alignment is far too imbalanced with the East far more difficult.
Over time these things even out. Before Bama's run under Saban the East dominated the West.

This is the probably for the best for the Big XII. If Oklahoma ended up playing Iowa State in the championship when Baylor or TCU had better conference records it'd hurt their chances for the playoffs. If they don't announce expansion in the next few years though, they might start cannibalizing themselves.

Good point. Guess I meant more in terms of an overall set. All three have been solid. This particular uniform combo, however...
One of their best looks in that set.

It's Oklahoma and Texas still calling the shots. Just ship those two to the PAC-12 and get the Florida schools, Cincinnati and Houston in.

I am really feeling like this expansion may be the beginning of the conversion of the Longhorn Network to Big XII Network or something in that direction.
Texas and possibly Oklahoma could receive concessions in the new deal, and if I was Cincy, Houston and any other remaining candidate I would offer to take less $$$ for a set period of time. That decreased amount would still most likely be more of a cut than the current cuts in The American.
This will probably be a requirement for any teams coming in. Rutgers and Maryland take less from the Big Ten for a set amount of time before getting a full share.That's why the ACC bumped up their exit fees to keep from losing teams to the Big Ten and Big XII.

Memphis is out ans has been for a week.
Their administration is using the nondisclosure agreement with the Big XII as their reason not to admit it publicly.
ESPN also said BYU was out but apparently they're still in. Also, Iowa State's student government sent a letter to the Big XII offices saying they are against BYU coming in due to their honor code rules.

I feel as though it's already decided. Houston and Cincinnati are in and the conference is just stringing the other along.
I'm starting to think it's Memphis and Cincinnati.

The problem with this logo was that it was chosen by the previous owners children( I wish I was making this up). The previous owner was absent and ran the franchise into the ground and the new owner is very engaging with the fans and trying to build it back up. He's told me that he doesn't want to change the logo just to change it, he wants to keep the identity going and change it to reflect our back story.
I'm surprised you know what are name is based off of. Most people in the Cleveland area don't even know why were named the Crushers!!
They probably though someone was a fan of the old Cleveland Crunch/Force!

The team I work for, the Lake Erie Crushers that play in the Frontier League, are getting new logos and new uniforms next year. Here's their current logo.. Which is not great IMO. We're probably getting a new color scheme, but our owner is keeping his options open.
It's a good logo for like a tournament but doesn't translate into a good uniform look. It's too horizontal. I still like the look though.

It's 18 applications and the four unnamed school came to light.
The four are/were (per McMurphy):
San Diego State
Northern Illinois
Air Force
Arkansas State
Arkansas State - Gets you into SEC territory but not sure they'll be competitive for at least 5 years.
Air Force - Obviously only brings in football, basketball is hit and miss. Would be a bit of a middle finger to BYU though.
San Diego State - Gets you into California and they'll be middle of the pack rather than bottom of the table.
Northern Illinois - Would pretty much kill the MAC. They leave and I'm certain you'll see the remaining teams start dropping down to 1-AA.

I really think Air Force is one of those three. Maybe the remaining three are the military academies.
Navy and Army to the Big XII probably wouldn't happen due to travel costs. Their budgets come from Congress. I'd think every division 1 school in Texas and the Sun Belt is probably on the list.

A bit of news as it pertains to the Dodgers' on-going TV situation...the L.A. Times reported that Time Warner Cable has stopped negotiations with other TV providers for carriage of Sportsnet LA, even though TWC was willing to lower its price to TV providers. Of course, the merger between Charter and Time Warner Cable is still awaiting federal approval, which could really play a role in Sportsnet LA's future.
One team RSNs usually don't work, especially a network like Sportsnet LA which only has the Dodgers and nothing else but filler. At least the other TWC sports network here have other live programming surrounding the Lakers year-round.
Doesn't Sportsnet have Lakers and Galaxy games as well? Still not enough for year round coverage but should be enough to bring in something, especially with Southern Section high school football.

The Big Ten does not need to expand. Reaching all the way to Florida isn't necessary as long as they can recruit top athletes to places like West Lafayette and Bloomington. If Notre Dame decided that the Big Ten was better for them across the board, that may force NBC to cancel the Notre Dame contract, or most likely buy into Big Ten football. With three big networks paying into the league, Notre Dame would be able to get their exit fees paid off much quicker than Florida State, UNC or Georgia Tech. If that happens I would think Cincinnati, UConn or another Big XII team might be induced to come in as team number 16.

I don't have that particular one but PM me your address and I can send it back this evening.

I'd really like to get my hands on this and any of the new Vapor Untouchable PSDs if they are available.

It's available for purchase from Yellow Images. I have a similar template from there.

It will be interesting to see where they plan on building. There's some cheap land around the current stadium but that area needs more than a new stadium.Good to hear. San Antonio is a triple-A market at the very least, IMO. My guess is it'll be either Las Vegas or Colorado Springs that will pack up shop and become that eventual PCL Missions club. All other clubs seem pretty firmly entrenched and/or popular.

I believe Florida State were.Yeah Ki-Jana will best be known for the PSU duds with the alternate color Nike+Swoosh sleeve patch. Was Penn State the first CFB team to display Nike on their jersey?

Rison in a Browns uniform was just wrong too.
