This makes me wonder if there's a work-up somewhere in which an all-white husky (with blue accents for visual contrast & greater impact) was used with the symmetrical image currently in use. My guess would be Yes, and that it got out-voted.
To the extent that you might be arguing that the current logo represents evolution without improvement, a "thank you" wouldn't be appropriate. It was a recognition that you'd abandoned your use of "reason, " and a call for you to elevate rather than degrade.
I remember when the gray uniforms came out there were so many people on here saying it was white and not gray. People on the BY will just have you questioning everything you know about colors I guess.
No the “uh, thank you” is for the “you were capable of better” comment which, though backhanded, is a compliment… of a sort. The fact that you didn’t suggest that superJohn is better is duly noted.
Yep, that’s the joke.
Actually, once you shifted away from the substantive subject to your lesser argument, he offered a stronger response. You (or someone else) had already noted that he rarely shifts of his topical position. Heck, you could even have noted that he brought up the "million times" exaggeration, if you wanted to switch to a non-content criticism. Yours was like an unforced error.
Thank you your insight and counsel is always a welcome contribution to the board.
Or Maryland…
Maryland: let’s create the ugliest state flag
Or maybe FRIARS across the front. Black uniforms with white lettering. Perfect
Fab five shorts are awful. Too much fabric.
Well he did lay out a number of facts. It is a fact that for 75 years( I think he said about 80, which is close I think) since Jonathan II, UConn used a white husky as its mascot. Whether it was a Samoyed or a true Husky is sort of irrelevant. And fwiw it is also true that at least one of the live mascots was a Samoyed. It was a unique and easily recognizable brand. Across the nation people knew it as “the UCONN HUSKY” The current multi-colored clip art husky with the sad face seems to have been designed to meet 3 or possibly 3 objectives. It was cheap and easy to reproduce, it was free, it allowed Nike to sell new gear, and it allowed our AD at the time to fail at designing a football helmet reminiscent of the Michigan winged design. Which was probably one of his lesser failures since he oversaw a. Hiring Diaco. b. Hiring Ollie. c. Getting out-maneuvered for the ACC spot because he had to go to the Virgin Islands while the Louisville guys went on the talk show, political and university circuits drumming up support. But it was a failure none the less. Oh, and he failed at the sole thing he was hired for, too. Getting us out of the APR ban.
'any time one discusses the decline of UConn’s national profile in athletics'
You're free to point out wherever I contradicted this either directly or my implication.
No problem or need to correct my favorite part of the post. I felt no need to count, either then or now.
Every time I tried to say that before, my post would get deleted.
Still better than what we have now.
Yardigan's read like a knowingly bad joke.Every time I tried to say that before, my post would get deleted.
