Also returns SG/PG Myreon Jones (inconsistent freshman but put up several double digit scoring games) They have some major losses in lockdown G/F Josh Reaves (Grad) and PG Rasir Bolton (could shoot) They add St Bon transfer Izaiah Brockington (shot 40% from 3 in limited minutes though his FT numbers were poor) Former Indiana/Okie St player Curtis Jones (not a great shooter) 4 star SF Seth Lundy from Roman Catholic in Philly (this is the powerhouse school that produced guys like Tony Carr and Lamar Stevens) In general this will probably be a Penn St team that is as good defensively as they have been and in theory the returning guys and their chemistry could lead to better offense. Gonna need Stevens to shoot better or else have someone step up besides Dread. Point Guard situation seems tenuous...perhaps Jones takes that over. Seems like most every Penn St team where the analytics say that they have guys are good and the results on the floor are them not having enough offense to win enough games. If one of the new guys can light up the scoreboard they could be real good. Thanks for the breakdown, dimes. Looks like I am the one who didn't spend any time paying attention to who all PSU added/didn't subtract. I knew they lost the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year in Josh Reaves, and I thought Watkins was 'out' for medical reasons, but apparently not. Quote

Miles & Chambers had a lot in common in results most years, NU's down years during Tim Miles era. Weird to see PSU in the top 5. But I guess NU had preseason hype often that ended in poor results. Guess we'll see which it will be for Pat's Nittany Kitties. Quote

While it's true that the sleeve thing is a little annoying maybe it's best to let that sleeping dog lie. You email the athletic department and tell them they oughta fix it and next thing you know the marketing department is getting involved and tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars are getting spent and you end up with some generic piece of shit like this: Cornhoopers, mwm89, HolyBobpilgrimage and 3 others 2 1 3 Quote

Yeah, that looks like a sweatband on Herbie's left bicep. haha (I know it's simply left over from the "football Herbie" rolled up sleeves.) Quote

Well, it was Steve Pederson who helped to create that freakish abomination during his tenure as A.D. from 2002-07. That dude is probably on an island somewhere laughing, and countin' the coin he's collected. Quote

Handy Johnson Posted July 17, 2019 Report Posted July 17, 2019 Sadly, at Target the only thing on display is the “Drunk Randy Travis” look alike. I know there’s some Herbie gear at Scheels but what’s most disappointing is the selection at the PBA Husker shop... Cornhoopers 1 Quote
Cornhoopers Posted July 18, 2019 Report Posted July 18, 2019 It's not like there aren't folks trained in design on campus who wouldn't help them come up with something better, but they probably got "Drunk Randy Travis" by shopping it out on a six-figure contract. By the way, "Drunk Randy Travis" could probably just be shortened to "Randy Travis." atskooc, jayschool, Mr. Red and 2 others 4 1 Quote

That is either a shooting sleeve on his right arm, or he is wearing a long sleeve shirt with a sweat band on the bicep. Looks like the kids on those AAU films that are on here...

There are countless examples of this in the sports world. There are consultants making so much money just shopping the same generic designs from college to college (and pro) teams in the last 10 years. In some cases, a "refresh" is needed, I will admit that. But there are some seriously "unique" designs being thrown away for a mascot.jpg clip art and it sickens me These are just the other in-state examples in the last few years: CREIGHTON BEFORE CREIGHTON AFTER: UNO BEFORE UNO AFTER Handy Johnson and jaimes2000 1 1 Quote
AuroranHusker Posted July 18, 2019 Report Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) I actually prefer UNO's newest logo "O," which seems as good as anything they've done, since now they like to be known as 'Omaha' so it fits well. And it looks nice on sports gear, especially ball caps. Edited July 18, 2019 by AuroranHusker Quote
