Okay fellas - now how about some love? I'm an official helmet club member. 

+k from me as well....though the number of Trine helmets is continuously outgrowing everyone else, I still like the helmet 

[sflzman]

Oh boy fellas, I can't hardly identify myself with this helmet icon. Its so new to me.

Mr. Ypsi - I notice your boys only feast on certain MIAA teams, how about a Trip to Angola?

and crushed Alma last year.

Ouch...as if the loss itself didn't hurt enough, you had to rub it in

While it is too far in the future to guarantee anything, I hope to make it to the IWU @ Alma game in September.  If you win, feel free to rub it in all you want.  If we win, I'll even buy the first round!

Mr. Ypsi: Call me optimistic, but I think we are going to be better then fine at the QB position next season. There may be some growing pains - but after that, I've gotta feeling we're gonna pretty solid.

And you're right, five years ago you probably would have whooped us good, but thankfully - Coach Land brought us to respectability. I'd very much like to see us play you, it'd be a great game. (unless you play us like Hope - then we're gonna run up 70 on ya! )

PS - Thanks for the love fellas...I'm proud to be a Helmet Club member.

Like these better then them purple helmets!

Uncle Rico - just an FYI with your helmet logo. I noticed your helmet logo is a nationalchamps.net helmet, and the site will eventually take it off and replace it with an ncaa football logo that says nationalchamps.net....

Damn!  You were right!  I was trying to go old-school retro too!

Uncle Rico, I enjoyed that little time line of helmets you found for us!  I enjoyed the change from 3 tone to 2 tone and the giant T when the new coaching staff arrived!  Its simple and classy.  But once the changed to "Trine" happened the navy and white with new Nike jerseys...a players dream!

Ill tell you what I miss about Tri-State though...our prestine natural grass field!!  I tell you what that thing was better than any D1 college team plays on and even the pros!  Our grounds crew took such good care of that field.

But field turf is definitely the way to go these days and the new stadium, if anyone hasnt seen it, is amazing!

I am with you re: the grass field.  I will confess, after the very last game to be played on the grass, that evening I cut out a section of sod from the end zone and planted it in my front yard.  It actually grew in well and was nicer than the rest of my yard.   

[ThunderHead]

That grass field was awesome. Better then every field in the Big Ten that used a natural surface aside from Michigan State, but that's because they are an agruiculture school. They were actually comishioned to grow the turf for the world cup as they have one of the top turf programs in the nation. So naturally the turf at Spartan Stadium is their crown jewel and they have the resources and $$$$ to keep every blade prestine. And having been on both feilds, MSU's was just slightly a cut above Trines. So credit to the Trine ground crew!

Still I don't miss to much other then that about Tri-State, I especially don't miss the NIAI.

Go Trine!

[BOYA87]

I really meant to go to the field and do that same thing!  I wanted to plant it in a nice pot so I could always have it but after the season they started tearing up the field pretty quick!  wasnt the first thing on my mind after that final game.

I did however get bricks from the old Stewart Hall dorm and the old Sig Ep house after those were both tore down!

For those who havnt been to Trine's campus in awhile it has completely changed.  From dorms, to fields, to fraternity houses, the university has made a great push to modernize everything!

I hate to be a downer, but I dont think we have the weapons at wide receiver for Leister to work with and keep us in the game offensively.....

And 'm not sure our d-line is gonne be any good since we basically lost everyone that played there last year....

Uncle Rico: I like that pic you have now. Very nice. Though I'm very fond of my new helmet club membership, your new logo has the zip that makes you stand out and represent Trine nation well.

Go Trine!!!

Thanks ThunderHead.  I just changed it up again, however.  Still struggling to find an identity....

Though I like the look Trine's mascot, I really don't get the concept of it.....I mean, really? How does a white striped Tiger holding a lightning bolt really represent thunder....just my thoughts....

What is a good representation of thunder, a picture of Kevin Durant?

I agree.  I think Tri-State used to have Thor as their mascot a long time ago. 

I believe the Fun Spot amusement park in Angola had a zoo with tigers in it, and it was owned by the Trine's, who later sold it.  I never took the time to go there but according to their web page it was not open in 2010.  http://funspotpark.com/
