I just noticed that Tulane recently (2017) reverted back to their old logo.... 

 

 

 

 

 

I've always been a fan of Tulane's branding.  The color scheme is pretty unique, and the logos so ClipArt-ish that they make me smile.  Most colleges seem to hire the same marketing firm to select their logos, fonts, etc.  Then there's Tulane, who's all like "nah, that's not in the budget.  Anyone got a 4th grade daughter that is decent at art?"

Savannah State has been one of my go-to's in terms of artwork logos. Ten years of not being able to color between the lines:

• Teddy Allen matched a career high with 41 points on Saturday in New Mexico State's 77-63 win over Abilene Christian. "Teddy Buckets" scored 41 as a Nebraska Cornhusker last season, becoming just the third player this century with 40-point games at two different schools (Curtis Cobb III and Joe Knight).

Hadn't paid much attention, but NM State is 15-2 and 98 in KenPom. He's averaging 18.8 ppg and shooting 33% on 3s, looks to be in much better shape:

Sounds like some player development is going on at NMSU and Tulane....

Some players and people mature later in life or, based on other threads, perhaps he's now being held more accountable.  In any event, I'm happy for him.

Man I remember the days where... if Walt P hit a 3 on the first possession, it was like "welp, we got this one" went thought everyone's heads.

The 4 of us who sit together usually try to have a pool and each of us throws in $1 and we take turns picking who will score 1st basket for NU other than a free throw. Walt P for 3 was popular winner.

Every time I see the thread is updated I expect to read about Kevin Cross.

 

 

Okay, I HOPE to read about Kevin Cross.

Watched him last night on ESPNU.  His game is much more inside out then when he was at nebraska.  Has slimmed down and looked great!  Jeriah Horne on the other hand hardly played and is the leading scorer for Tulsa.  Announcers couldnt figure it out.

I'd still take Donovan Williams on this team anytime he wants to come back to the state.

He's one that might hit the portal after the season imo. No inside knowledge, he just isn't playing anymore for OSU.

Not sure D Will is very enamored with Hoiberg tho.

His "look at me" but also "woe is me" mentality, while not being nearly as good as he thinks he is, would fit right in the current Nebrasketball culture. I apologize for sounding so harsh here, but I sincerely don't want another guy like this on the roster.

He'd be the one guy who would care about the N on the uniform.  I doubt we'll ever see DW in a husker uniform so I'll just pretend that Quaran McPherson is from Norfolk.

Just wanted to say Fred Hoiberg would have at least 10 conference wins in 3 years if Kevin Cross was still here.

Fred presently has 6 B1G wins. And a half a dozen other very near misses as it stands. The '10' isn't a ton more, but it's definitely *at least* 4 more.
