"Helmet stickers are a big tradition in college football. Many big programs such as Ohio State, Stanford, and Arkansas use helmet stickers. Many other schools used helmet stickers in the past. In a sport that largely focuses on team accolades, helmet stickers serve as a method of rewarding individual players. Different universities give helmet stickers for a variety of reasons. Here's a look how the tradition started and how it is used today."

Enjoy and discuss. I still think NT should go to the green helmet and have white "eagle poop" stickers.

Um Lifer, This board is supposed to have FRESH TOPICS. Is this some kind of joke? :growl:

Don't like helmet stickers on college helmets...they just look HS to me. I have no problems with them being on HS helmets.

Many of the schools with helmet stickers are glorified high schools, but that is for discussion another day.

helmet stickers suck!

In high school I played offensive and defensive line and it was so annoying seeing every receiver and running back rack up stickers like there was no tomorrow, while linemen were lucky to get 2 per game :censored:

Haha at my high school it was the opposite. We got stickers for knockdowns, because we were an option team. So me and the fellow o-linemen had a ton of stickers.

Green Talons on the white helmets would be my choice FWIW. Not sure I get the animosity toward the use of helmet stickers. Its about recognizing outstanding plays on offense, defense or ST and shouldn't be easy to get and should be prized by the wearer.

So then we should have had them the last 4 years.

I don't care what you say, that there is just plain stooopid!

It could be worse... In the early 80's, Iowa State actually gave the players different color helmets... Good players got rewarded with a Gold helmet instead of a Cardinal one...

Awesomely terrible... and yet fascinating...

Helmet stickers only work for schools that have used them forever and have a tradition of accomplishment.

For others, it just looks like they are overcompensating for something.

I can imagine considering only 4 out of the eleven defensive players are wearing Gold helmets.

Wow, some of those schools give away helment stickers... and.... new cars???.... I agree with many here, helment stickers should be an NCAA violation. Aren't free cars?

      @Censored by Laurie is correct. McNeese St is 0-2 in D1 games this year but those are a 7 point loss to South Dakota State and an 8 point loss to Alabama. They finished 56th in NET last year so if they run their conference again, this will likely end up a Quad 1 win. They just need to finish top 75 with it being a road game. Exciting times.

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG
