Expand I didn't know about the mystery raffle. Is beer one of the prizes? Quote

Expand Agree Berry needs to up his game but he has at least won a playoff game. Football Bubba is a rah rah guy (nothing wrong with that) who has made a string of bad decisions that are only now being fixed. Anyone who watched football last year knew it - most knew it several years before it dawned on Bubba. The nickname is the least of his problems. I know that we need to adjust to the new nickname but praising Bubba for that is damning him with faint praise.

UNDBIZ Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 Great to see a consistent green and banner style! Now don't mess up the order for the 9th one next year! Quote
InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 The first thing I thought when I saw it was how pumped Mafia Man will be I'll admit, they look awesome! Quote
andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted July 10, 2019 Author Posted July 10, 2019 Historically correct banners are awesome and I have wanted them to do that for years. Edit: Wish the banners were still hung above the ice though. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 So where are the conference regular season title banners? Same place? And did they modify the conference tournament title banner? Quote

Godsmack Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 Question for the group: What is everyone’s thoughts on the placement of the new banners? My first thought was, they were more prominent when they were hung over the ice than where they are located now. It’s hard to determine if my first impression is correct without going in there and seeing them in person. Thoughts? Quote

Benny Baker Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) 1. Love the concept. 2. They should have consulted with Big A HG and put up Sammy and the Blackhawk specific style logos. 3. Liked the location better over the ice.* 4. Assume conference banners will have same concept? *as I think about it more, they banners are now positioned right next to the bar video screens, which will pull in a lot of eyes, so maybe not a bad spot. Edited July 10, 2019 by Benny Baker Second guessing my initial hot take Quote
ChrisUND1 Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 New banners look sweet! I like the location. Quote
