Probably more paid advertisers for the game program-forget announcing the game, we will just hear 3 hours of ads!

Now that football season is officially over, it's time to consider this...

The new Gopher helmet design has been released.  They're alright in my book.  They'll look better on a winning team  ;)

I like the matte finish...saw that on a couple of other teams this year as well.  Although, like you said, I'd still take a winning team and a glossy helmet first.

I prefer shiny over matte.  Matte has too much of the anti-hero vibe to it for me.  If you're a gangster or a badass, then I think your play on the field will show it better than the uniform.

Decisions, or lack thereof, concerning the uniform are another reason that SJU has been so lucky to have Gagliardi leading the program all these years.  Of all the decisions that could affect on-field performance or off-field character, uniform design is not on the list.  So the decision doesn't get made.

Amen brother.

These hold a good balance of classic and modern. For the U of M, I'd take these over the white helmets for sure, and those glittery ones were just plain embarrassing. I would hope d3 schools don't have enough money in the programs to sport more than the traditional home and away looks.
If the human brain were so simple that we could fully understand it...we would be so simple that we couldn't.

It must have something to do with the team's colors (with all this uniform talk going on):

Peterson is latest opponent to call out Saints for dirty play

Paging the St Olaf athletic dept...

Very nice...now Kill just has to get the product playing in those unis to match the quality. Personally, if he can stay healthy I think they start making steady improvement. Probably always middle tier, but improvement none the less.

Hmm. I guess I didn't associate it with an "anti-hero" vibe.

Must be an age thing...  ;)

Time sucks. I cannot believe that so much has passed that I'm now on the wrong end of age jokes.  Might as well put me in a gulag now.  I'm done for...

Happy Holidays MIAC PP!  I will be back to the board after the first of the new year!  Safe travels to all.

If you find yourself bored over the holidays I would suggest the following brews:

New Belgium 1554
Great Lakes Brewing Co. Edmund Fitzgerald
Avalanche IPA
Stone Levatation Ale

Also it's never to early to drink Surly!

Merry Christmas and the best for the New Year!!! Time to start planning for the weekend of Feb. 17, 2012. Two great options available for those of you who enjoy drinking beer outside in the snow. ::) The 33rd Annual International EelPout Festival in Walker is a great event to attend, especially since the Bikini Ice Fishing team will be present. The other event is the BockFest at the Schell's Brewery in New Ulm on Saturday, Feb. 18. Nothing like having a poker from a fire pit stuck in your glass of beer to warm it up.

Merry Christmas to all on the MIAC board. Safe travels, and hope to see you next year.
