2021-22 NOMINATIONS: "Cone of Shame"

[1972Shocker]

The kid was arrested. I'm guessing by his "skill" that wasn't his first, second, fifth or last fight. Hopefully he's never allowed to put on another athletics uniform.

If I had ever done anything like that my big concern would have been what my Dad was going to do to me.

Here is a bit more reporting on the incident. Nevada, Iowa is just east of Ames and Carlisle is on the SW edge of the Des Moines area.

Is the K-State wildcat logo freakin' clip art?!? Tell me it's not freakin' clip art that they downloaded off of a 90's CD-ROM, that anybody can use?!

Lol!!! There's a high school out here in AZ that uses the same logo. Clip art.

[shock-it-to-me]

Its not “clip art”. An artist designed that to bill Snyder’s requests in his early years. The university has made millions off of that logo and even sold it to some high school programs.

It was a busy opening night in Iowa last night. In addition to the fight between Carlisle and Nevada, the handshake line of the basketball game between East Union and Diagonal also ended in an altercation caught on camera.

I think they're all on edge because UNI was moved to last four in after the Bradley loss.

Also one here in Louisiana that paid for the use.

Also, several schools that pay Florida for rights to use the Gator. Not sure if they paid for that or not, but I think Augusta paid at some point for rights to use the Baltimore logo. And Maize used the Philadelphia Eagles helmet logos for a while also.

Not uncommon at all.

Correct! Back in the day, Claflin bought the rights for its stuff...

Bill Snyder designed it?

It honestly weakens the brand substantially to sell the rights to use the logo to high schools. I'm surprised they do that.

What's that 1A operation about 10 miles north and a couple miles west of Newton? They have a bluejay that HAS to be purchased from Creighton.

I'm counting on your extensive knowledge of rural small town schools here. Great volleyball like 4-8 years ago.

There's Goessel, but they are the Bluebirds. They did have great volleyball. A friend of mine had two daughters who played there. Both played at HCC and one eventually at East Carolina.

That's totally the school I was thinking but whiffed on the logo. Have a memory of a Creighton logo there.....must be past my bedtime.

There are the Tabor Bluejays in Hillsboro. But not the same logo.

when it originally came out, they were only charging high schools $1 to use it. but that was 25-30 yrs ago. iirc the eagle had an article about it's creation and why they were only charging a dollar for its use. but that was 20-25 yrs ago.
