But they're not cars . . . it's a football team. I love the Cincinnati Bengals uniforms, but I bet this car would look silly painted like that uniform. Love this car, by the way.

I know it's all hip and cool to like the grey uniforms and stuff . . . but I just don't. Unless, of course, one of your actual school colors is grey I just don't get it. Honestly, I really liked the all white and the all green look. I would assume that to a defense, it's almost like camo . . . the lack of depth and definition in a line full of just green moving around on a green field. Maybe kinda hard to read who is who and what's going on? But whatever. They could wear baby blue and I'd still cheer for 'em!

Depending on how far down the draft he is, he might be better off as a free agent. Either way, he'll be in an NFL uniform this fall.

I just logged in to ask the same thing.

Remember, though, just how much a kid matures and changes mentally and physically between 17 years old and 19 or 20 years old. Sometimes that high school highlight film doesn't look anything like the same player when they are two or three years older.

I'm impressed with Bubba and his staff . . . they are owning the Fighting Hawks name, and I'm pretty sure Bubba has some Sioux / ND roots that could make him fight the system on this one. Own the name, move on, and just go with it. I used to just be baffled by the whole name situation, but now, I'm all for taking the Sioux name off of EVERYTHING. No more Sioux Falls, no more Sioux CIty, no more Sioux River . . . if that's what the system wants, erase it from EVERYTHING. You can't tell me that naming a University after the Sioux is racist, but some dumpy little town on the Missouri river using it is just fine. All or nothing, I say. Then it makes sense.

In my world, whatever the hockey program is doing doesn't effect my football goggles. I'm a football fan . . . and the fact that hockey is doing well only helps get the UND name out there. I would think that any kid playing football would focus more on what the football program is doing and that's about it.

Back on topic . . . it's hard to think that Will would NOT make a squad somewhere. Outside of just his skills and strength, the fact that he's got his head on straight should help his cause.

I can't say they were "made" by their qb's . . . but they didn't exactly play with poor qb's either. Sure I'm generalizing and anyone can find examples that don't fit my "theory". But i'll take a great qb with average receivers over an average qb with great receivers any day. Receivers don't change plays on the line of scrimmage and touch the ball on every play. They are not the brains of the whole operation. If a speedy receiver gets wide open it does no good if the qb isn't doing his job first. How would Jordy Nelson look without Aaron Rodgers? Rice without Montana? etc . . . And you can't use Calvin Johnson as an example. That guy was a freak of nature! In a perfect world we'd all love to have the MVP qb with some bad-ass receivers.

On a "glass half full" note, I'm betting that all of the other teams in the conference are having similar issues. Sometimes it really is about luck and timing . . . there are only so many things that you can actually control.

muscle arms ? check walking like a human? check looks like he's chewing bubble gum? check worst . . . bird . . . ever!

ditto Teeth or "muscle arms" . . . no thanks.

Bah, this is the FOOTBALL forum. Th best sport ever! Baseball is a "pass time". It's what people do when there is absolutely nothing else left to do. Dishes are done, cleaned the garage, waxed the car . . . maybe I'll watch baseball . . . nah, I'd rather clean the bathrooms. For real, though, I'd watch the WNBA before any baseball game! Back on topic, though, I'm betting on Will getting a shot somewhere in the NFL. The guy has too much athletic talent to NOT get a shot.

And Favre was exactly who proved to me that a great qb can make average receivers look awesome.

My theory is that a great qb can make average receivers great. Average qb will make great receivers just average. It all starts and stops with the qb. By no means am I arguing, though. Would love to load up and get deep threat receiver . . . but it's only a threat if the qb can make that throw.

I'm a life-long Vikings fan here . . . and this is the first time in my 43 years on this planet that the words "they should be in the Super Bowl this year" ever came out of my mouth. For as even keel as Teddy is, though, he has to step it up for this to happen. All of the other pieces are there, in my opinion.

the internet is full of weird stuff . . . but sometimes, just sometimes, you find something that just makes ya laugh a little.

wow . . . guess i never thought about what would happen if you handed the ball to Will out of the backfield. I wouldn't want to try tackling him! I'm pretty excited for him. I've heard nothing but good things about him both on and off the field.

The numbers are all well and good . . . but he's also a smart player. Hopefully the numbers get some people interested enough to watch some game tape. You don't have to watch long to find out that he has really good football instincts and that it's not just all in the numbers. Congrats, and good luck Will.

Lol!

Don't get me wrong...these concepts are great. I really like both directions (university wouldn't touch the first one with the feathers representing a head dress), but it's some quality work. i just wondered why. Why go through the time and effort knowing that it's not going to even be on the table...or that you wouldn't want to deal with difficult situation. Since they said they had developed concepts for other teams thathad to develop new logos, i wonder if these logos were originally developed and not used for another project. (Which is all good...good work is still good work)

I desgned a logo just for fun...took me ten minutes. That looks to be a lot of effort for zero return.

this video, alone, confuses me even more as to how "Sioux" can be taken as offensive. Not that it matters anymore. i think we all agree that "Redskins" needs to go away, though.

War Pigeons?
