Great hockey at a lot of those schools. Yost Ice Arena is near the top of my list of places to watch a game. I also enjoyed the original Mariucci Arena. Very intimidating buildings. I just can't picture Arizona State drawing well in downtown Phoenix.
I don't think it is a good name choice either...I just happen to like the name and the logo though. Hard to make wheat look good in green, white, and black though.
I posted Golden State's old logo above, darell...who could ever forget that futuristic steroid-ridden figure carrying a lightning bolt? 1990's logo awfulness at its best!
Another member of the $100 million arena cult...yea, that's a sure-fire guarantee of success, isn't it?
Arizona State shouldn't even bother trying until they can spend $150 million and top REA.
I don't think "parity" is the word I would use to describe such a situation. I think "apocalypse" or the phrase "end of days" would be more appropriate.
