whitedawg22 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 They haven't won a bowl game since 1949 and have never earned a bid into the NCAA tournament........they may be in the Big 10 but they most likely have the worst Athletic Teams in the Big 10.WOW. Is that true? I'm not doubting you, but its just surprising because it seems like they've had some decent teams as of late.Yep, the 1949 Rose Bowl was the last time they won a bowl game.Not only that, but it's the only time they won a bowl game.They've had some close calls though - they lost their last five by a total of 33 points. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

LetsGoOakland9 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I find it hard to believe these are professionally done. They're sloppy, feature an unused 3-point line, and "Northwestern" isn't even centered along the baselineWhat do you mean, "unused 3-point line"? Don't the women use that?The women's line was moved back to match the men's, at 20 feet 9 inchesYou're thinking about the WNBA. Women's Hoops uses the old Men's Three Point line still.Starting this season the NCAA women 3-point line will match the men's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoOakland9 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 They just showed this on ESPN's Around The Horn. Northwestern Alum Kevin Blackistone won and used his "facetime" to say he would like to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I don't even think they use Welsh-Ryan arena for IHSA anymore. Pretty sure they moved all that stuff to ISUI'm pretty sure it's at Bradley. But that doesn't really matter, I think you're right about not using Welsh-Ryan for IHSA games.Welsh-Ryan hosts ETHS/NT games and usually a couple city-suburban shootout games and a super-sectional, so the court would need high school lines.Anyway, here's the winner:I wrote a message on the voting page begging them not to go with the painted in three point area look that's been dead for ten years, but they didn't listen to me. And there's more: "A unique feature of the new design is that it will be stained and not painted as is traditionally the case, allowing for the wood grain to be seen." Here's a link with pics of the court being painted/stained. The purple wood stain doesn't look quite as bad as I feared, but I'm still not feeling it.

evanmaldonado Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Too bad that horrible cat will be at center court. I've never realized until all of this how terrible of a logo that is. the standing N would've been better as the center court logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north dakota Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Going with a purple court would give them more media attention. Bad choice by Northwestern. Woah! You think I'm Cody?

BBTV Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 At first I thought that purple stain would be more tolerable than purple paint, but after seeing that slideshow, it's just going to look like someone tried to color the court with purple marker or crayons. Not good. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Max Power Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Digging up this thread to show the finished product:I don't like the inconsistency in the purple between the painted logo and the stained wood. Otherwise, it's not too bad. I can tolerate the purple wood stain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 It blows. You see the color of the wood surrounding the court? THAT is the color the court should be. Just as bad as the two-tone courts are courts where they use the retina-searingly light shade of stain. It looks like crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, it's not too bad. I can tolerate the purple wood stain.I agree, I think the purple stain could be cool if it was consistently applied. With the painted center court and B1G logos, the stain just looks like a severely botched paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Impaler Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 What shame. If they had just done the "N" at center without the cat, and ALL the purple was a stain this would have been nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
