Well I never know if you are being sarcastic or not

look for one of these or these

Positive. I interviewed for the SID job there many moons ago. Of course they don't mention Beloit's logo -- would you?

that's amazing...there is obviously someone who worked for the tampa tribune who stole beloit's logo in 1976, then passed it on to the tampa bay buccaneers as an original logo - i didn't realize you were old enough to have interviewed for an sid position in 1976...i had you pegged for someone who was in his late 30's, early 40's at worst...i stand corrected

and yes, if i were running a logo/helmet website, i would have beloit's logo and as much information as possible about it, particularly if there were a story as interesting as the fact that it was stolen and used by the tampa bay buccaneers as a back-story...but then, i am the type who is always looking out for the d3's

I interviewed in 1996. With a PR director for the college who was more than old enough to be there in 1976. Perhaps he was lying to me, but I seem to think he showed me photos of Beloit wearing it first.

I am saying that the Bucs might not be willing to talk about it.

i thought you looked a little younger than 50 something

i find it highly unlikely that a cartoonist from the tampa tribune stole the beloit college logo in 1976 and passed if off on the tampa bay bucs and the nfl as original without a subsequent lawsuit from beloit, but i could be wrong

It may be apocryphal but if not, it seems to answer everything you try to kick back at me on this.

it doesnt seem apocryphal (mythical, fictional, untrue, invented, for those who havent looked it up yet).
now, how about some hoops talk?! the captains have to contain lenny hall tonight. hall seems to have our number. he has had some career-making games against us. over 3 years he has averaged 26.4 against us, never scoring less than 16, with some big ones (38, 29, 36, 28). he is 3-4 lifetime against us, so you KNOW that he wants to even his record against us. where is that good defensive player we had on the roster last year that graduated? can we get him back for one last game? no one would have to know.

hey, only 9 more posts until i can smite/applaud. time to go back and review who will be getting each from me. i think i will start off with a round of applause for everyone, though. hasanova has been a continuing source of wisdom. learning the origin of "mensa" was incredible. i think he must be a mensan himself.

Now you are taking the fun out of my posts

hey, only 9 more posts until i can smite/applaud. time to go back and review who will be getting each from me. i think i will start off with a round of applause for everyone, though. ive loved being a member here this year. one of you guys said something about this site being too lame for students, but thats definitely not true. and, hey, its even a little bit educational. apocryphal! thanks for that one, pat. hasanova has been a continuing source of wisdom. learning the origin of "mensa" was incredible. i think he must be a mensan himself. 

Thanks, notamensa.  I may have to start calling you isamensa!  lol  Thanks for enduring my stories about the halcyon days - just trying to use sports as a hermeneutic tool.  lol  Peace

pat - thanks...i googled the beloit logo, but didn't find this information (or much of anything substantial, to tell the truth)...i still think this might be urban legend, but i've gone from being 99% positive that it was untrue to maybe 65-70% positive that it's false

the other thing that makes me believe this might be true is this...who would actually want to claim that logo...it's not exactly the most fearsome or intimidating pirate...

if i get any information which confirms this on either side, i'll let you know

Now you are taking the fun out of my posts

sorry...please, return to berating and belittling me...i'd hate to take the fun out of posting for you or anyone else  8)

ok, ill bite –

halcyon days - literally meaning calm days; a reference to the fourteen days of calm weather the ancients believed to precede the winter solstice that coincided with the brooding of the halcyon - fabled to be in nests floating on the sea - because the birds charmed the winds and waves so that seas were especially calm.

hermeneutic – 1. relating to or consisting in the interpretation of texts, especially the books of the bible  2. serving to interpret or explain something

no, im definitely not a mensan, but maybe i will be some day, especially if my vocabulary continues to expand like it has been lately. is a high iq something that can be attained by working hard at it, or is it something that youre born with? i dont know. but, im guessing that youre one either way, mr hasanova. hermeneutic! do you really use words like that in your everyday speech or are you trying to impress us with carefully chosen and researched words? either way, im impressed. i bet that you blew the gradng curve for your classmates in english class.

[notamensa]

if halcyon days are the fourteen days of calm preceding the winter solstice, that could also be used to describe the early season for most d3 teams prior to their conference schedule. calm, indeed, especially with the usasac teams this year and what theyve been doing to each other.

too many big words.....I like simple things...like the old TV commercial starring Earl campbell...."Skoal, Brother!"
