That new WAC logo is absolutely priceless!!!
that is amazing
I was expecting the Big 12 logo to be a big Texas logo. Boise was good too.
Lol, deathstar.
deathstar kinda makes sense
needs more rubble around it...
Can we change the Big Ten's name accordingly? Please...
It's been the Big Ten for well over 100 years. Personally, I don't want to see that change. No matter how many teams are in the conference, it should stay the Big Ten.
I was joking. Though if they gave us a death star for traveling I would consider the change.
Sorry, I'm at work. My sense of humor must be turned off. The Death Star for travel would be nice. "That's no moon. It's the Big Ten."
We have had 11 teams since MSU joined, as the University of Chicago continues to be a academic member, it just does not participate in sports. The name of the conference should stay the same.
Let's try to proofread headlines before we post them.
I normally don't jump on grammar but the apostrophe before pluralization is a bugaboo for me too. I won't even step into "Fresh Pick's" because of this.
I'm cool with the State of Michigan thing where we make surnames possessives when they're a store moniker, e.g. Meijer's. But not for pluralization. To do that you should have to produce a signed form that proves you are from the 17th century, because that's the last time apostrophizing plurals (and burning witches) were acceptable.
You're in Fred Meijer's domain, and don't you forget it!
Since it is also the domain of Hendrik, Hank and Doug Meijer, shouldn't it actually be Meijers'?
It was originally Meijer's Thrifty Acres, ergo the pluralization in the shortened version.
No, not pluralization, but possessive.
I'm down with possessive. I'm going to Kroger's, i.e. the store of Kroger. I'm going to K-Mart's, as in the store of ... er ... Kresge. Whatever -- I know this is a Michigan thing and that we do it when there's absolutely no way it could be a possessive, e.g. Old Navy's (was there a guy named Old Navy? If so he was cool).
What bothers me is apostrophes on plurals. Or worse, on conjugated verbs...
Misopogon hate's these thing's!
Obviously I meant "ergo the possessive". I was just enamored with the former word after reading your post.
I'm on board for the Big 10 becoming the new ultimate power in the universe, but man, whoever did that death star logo spent about 10 seconds on it. The superlaser looks terrible. I'd say he used MS Paint, but I don't want to defame our MS Paint Masters we have here.
We needs a MS paint signal like we have for TomVH! I think our artist need to get to work on one!
obviously they are paying respect to Brian's post but without the link.
...still the most misnomered conference.
