A Maverick is a stray calf or steer and has recently come to mean someone who is independant or a non-conformist. The Dallas Mavericks abandoned a cowboy hat in their logo and adopted a logo with a horse head. Your committee failed to live up to either definition in following the lead of an NBA team. Is red being abandoned and orange being substituted as a color? Why?

Well, if you insist on a college, here it is. Look familiar?

Actually, no. You had to dig up the logo of a Div III school with attendance of 800. I seriously doubt anyone is going to look at our logo and go "Hey... doesn't that look a lot like Huntingdon College???"

And you're saying people would get confused between Boise State and UTA? Give me a break.

If you just saw the new UTA logo on a sweat shirt walking past you at the mall - yes - some people would think that was Boise.

They are almost identical. It's even the same color scheme.!!!!!!

I can only imagine how much time was wasted finding the Huntingdon Hawk. Probably as much as we collectively have spent blasting it.

Besides the fact there are stylistic differences, I think the main point was that the UTA and Boise are roughly the same colors. Plus, the Boise one is a lot cooler. The same can not be said of Huntingdon relative to NT.

I was in Marshall in Jr High, and Marshall is the Mavericks and it is a young steer, and dictionary.com would support this. However, if you have a problem with the horse, I think you will have to bring that up with the Dallas basketball team too.

Being from Denver... When I starting noticing Boise State's color choice and mascot, I thought it was a direct ripoff of Denver. I still think it is. Now UTA has the same colors as BSU and a similar logo.. my head is about to assplode.

It is mainly the color that will throw people off and assume the logo is for BSU and not UTA.

Marshall has a lot of problems with their mascot. I went to college there and was a football official for a while. I did a scrimmage for them one time and they had helmet stickers that looked just like longhorns. They were gone by the first game and replaced with a captial "M".

      "Where Are The Fans?"

      Those band parents SHOW UP which is why expanding the Green Brigade is one of the smartest things our school has done. I bet for every band kid, you average atleast two additional people (family members or student friends) who attend the game. Which is why I think we should add a Kilgore Rangerette style drill team. Add 100 drill teamers and you’d probably get 300 extra parents and boyfriends at every game. That is 400 extra people in the stands EVERY game.

      Bosses are firing Gen Z workers months after hiring them

      Interesting debate (I guess) not sure how this took a dive into “beating kids” but this is gomeangreen However what I took out of this article was more of a problem with colleges…..from the point of view of companies that are supposed to be using them to bring in talent. Seems they’re not providing suitable employees for corporations. To the point where these companies just can’t do anything with them so they’re firing them. If this trend continues or gets worse….what does that do the value of a degree? Going back up stream: if it truly is a problem with the kids themselves, seems companies are starting to weed out the poor performers so do colleges start increasing their standards, holding students accountable? Teaching them what it takes to succeed? Or will they just keep taking in all that money and building the nice buildings while churning out an unsatisfactory product. Are they going to develop these kids so they’re providing suitable employees for the companies that want their “talent?” This trend seems unsustainable…..

      Just for fun

      Unless Morris decides to enter the draft, I think he stays. Would love to see what year 2 looks like with him as QB1!

      Fine, Rogers, Morris

      The numbers don’t back this up. He had like 8 of his 29 scores in blow out winning situations while winning. He has like 12 in close games. And like 800 of his 3700. His first year he had 8 in blow out losses and his last he had a lot in wins. On average For me this is just part and parcel of being on a struggling team early and a good team late. I think he padded numbers a bit vs UTEP maybe and Littell played him too much overall but he also has good numbers in the +7, 0, -7 range. Fine was not a stat-padder.

      Thursday/Friday FBS/FCS Games - 10/3 and 10/4

      I wonder why we aren’t being more creative raising funds since we are way behind the curve. The Bearkats lack a large outside collective. Almost all money is generated in-house. A lot of that is being creative with stipends and awards that are allowed within NCAA rules, generating the money to pay for them via avenues like an auction for fans. Barnes spearheaded an event this summer that featured 25 in-demand items, including things like all-access passes to away games. Fans shadowed the team every step of the way during tips to Rice and Texas State; a few thousand dollars raised that can be funneled toward retention.
