I'm working on a Poinsettia Bowl poster for the football office and thought you guys might like a mini-version of it:  ERNIE |

Very cool Ernie! It's a night I'll never forget. I was struggling with how to incorporate the score and went through a number of iterations before I settled on throwing the actual scoreboard numbers up on top. I did something similar for the 1977 game against Florida State by getting the scoreboard in the background of Claude meeting Bobby Bowden at midfield after the game. ERNIE |

Maybe less Brady if he ends up leaving...I know he is our guy and we all love him...but if he takes off after two years (which I don't blame him if it is to UM) then I would prefer to focus on the players and not the coach that is already gone by the time we hang it up for the first time.

I agree with Bill on this one. Less Hoke, more players.

Exactly what I thought as I scrolled down the picture. Sucks to have the opinion, but I agree 100%. |

You're right; I should probably get rid of the Coryell photos too. |

You guys are right. I apologize for airing my sour grapes. Are the Texas Rangers going to remove Cliff Lee from their 1st World Series appearance because he didn't resign with them? I doubt it. We shouldn't either. Hoke was a huge part of us winning our 1st bowl game in 41 years and that should be recognized.

Nice! Not sure about the bevel/emboss on the Poinsettia Bowl logo - maybe just flat or a drop shadow.

We're celebrating that game, which Hoke led us to. To ignore that is petty.
Outstanding poster, Ernie.

You're right; I should probably get rid of the Coryell photos too. Jeez Ernie...take it easy. Don Coryell: 12 years & 104 wins Brady Hoke: 2 years and 13 wins (if he leaves) Not exactly the same thing. I don't question your artistic expression because you are certainly the man and I'm still taking all my pictures with my phone...but please do not try to compare The Don with Brady when he is 91 wins shy of The Coach. I was under the impression you were interested in feedback on the poster...apparently I was wrong. |

To keep hoke or not to keep hoke depends on the intent of the poster. If it to memorialize a great year...keep him in there. If it is for a marketing/promo piece take him out. If the texas rangers sent out posters to their season ticket holders i can guarantee cliff lee wouldnt be in it!
