Wallpaper Season - Vintage Schedule Stylings
Well, it's that time again, ladies and gentlemen - it's wallpaper season. For this season's schedule wallpaper, I went with a design based on (ok, copied from) a vintage schedule card from 1969.
I like how it turned out, but I do wish I could find an image of Harbaugh in the exact same profile as Bo from the '69 card. If you know of one (I looked around to no avail), I would be very grateful to the person who pointed me to it. I ended up choosing a picture that embodies how I hope to see Jim on the sidelines during our games - enjoying some Michigan domination. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this wallpaper. As always, I welcome constructive criticism and/or suggestions for new wallpapers. Let me know what you think. GO BLUE!
EDIT: Fixed the font with a font more like what is in the original per numerous suggestions. Thanks for the input, it looks a lot better, guys.
EDIT 2: Added mobile (iPhone 5) variation.

Maybe one of these would work for you:
Invert the image a crop out the adidas logo:
Invert & crop again:
Invert & crop:
Invet & crop:
I would suggest thinning out the font as it is in the original. As it is now, it looks a little cluttered.
Maybe you could use this one for the Harbaugh pic?

Interesting 1:30 start times

Noon starts are no more "traditional" than 3:30 starts--both are a product of television, and only date back 25 years or so. Before weekly television broadcasts, all kickoffs were 1:00, 1:30 or 2:00.
Also note that Michigan was not on daylight saving time in 1969, so a 1:30 start in September or October is exactly like a 2:30 EDT start in terms of sun position.

That and the result of the OSU game.
