    I still want something like this. It's a pretty terrible photoshop job -- but a pearl tri coat white helmet w/ grey facemask and somewhat chrome decals. Then 1971 style varsity stripes and clean white pants. Throw in some black in there for good measure -- essentially do what Ohio State did for a few years -- modernize a classic look.

  2. The key to getting bigger deals isn't football, it's basketball. As a billboard, which is exactly what teams are for these companies, we have a pretty big audience for 1/3 of the year. The schools that are getting the big bucks have a big audience for multiple seasons. Kansas, for example, has a bigger contract than us. We need to have a solid year in football and MBB needs to get back to being the exciting tournament team.

    Riley recently said he had interviewed four guys. I think he himself also said it's down to 2, so I guess it won't be too long, now. Today's MLK day and Riley hasn't tweeted since the 16th. Maybe (hopefully) tomorrow?

     

    Keep the politics & religion in the P&R forum, please.

    Riley was in Oklahoma last night visiting Burnett.

     

    Who is Burnett?

    Nevermind, I'm stupid. Barnett the recruit, it all makes sense now.

    Beautiful. Nice! Looks fine.

     

    More improvements: (wishful thinking)

     

    - Extra HuskerVision

     

    - Remove four video screens .... now see traditional pillars and inscribed "Not the victory but the action; Not the goal but the game; In the deed the glory"

     

    - Plant 4'D x 3'W x 360'L box hedges a.l.a. Georgia stadium (another HB thread). Red fences was kinda like construction barriers.

     

    - Put two giant 50' tall Lil'Red inflatable statues adjacent to HuskerVision (just kidding!)

    The four screens are needed for people who cannot see the big screen. If you are far up enough in the North, or under overhangs you cannot see the big screen. The screens are needed.

     

    That's why he said make another big screen in South Stadium.

    The abstracted football is too cute and overly redundant (everyone knows its a football stadium, no need to put a giant football perched above the big screen) which reads cheesy to me. Unless there are speakers in it, even then I still wouldn't be a fan of it.

    Agreed, the laces look stupid over the N.

     

     

    Honestly I liked it. Plus the laces was inside and outside stadium view perched on top of "Nebraska National Championships" sign (knapplc #3 picture).

     

    Lit up or not ? And "N" sign ? Just curious.

     

    I thought I saw that they're mirroring the N on the outside of North Stadium as well, so National Champions thing won't look like it does now. I may be wrong though. And yes they light up.

     

    *Edit* This is the quote from the website.

     

    "The scoreboard will display a 25-foot illuminated Nebraska “N” and topped with a graphic of a football, visible from both inside and outside of Memorial Stadium."

     

    I misunderstood.

  6. If it was a rivalry trophy sort of deal that would be awesome. Get it set up between the two schools. If we're just doing it on our own to show dominance then we better be dominant. Let's make that 5-2 record 10-2 or 20-2, then we can start talking. I fully expect us to do that.
