Here's the 1932 Texas Tech #cfb team with a version of their logo incorporated made out of the same friction strip cloth. Other teams did this too Also in the same 1933 La Ventana yearbook (which apparently has a dinosaur theme) is a Double T similar to the current one, just different proportions.

not sure how I missed the news that good ol Bobby is in charge of Arky again, so I need to share this relevant entry from a Victorian era dictionary. The sudden blood-letting seems apt @hollyanderson.bsky.social

As many have already noted, wearing this bear logo is the correct way to engage in a vigorous bout of sport. 96.999998% of vintage mascot logos are better than modern.

ok fine I'll share this again

On this day 102 years ago, Jack Trice suffered critical injuries when the Minn. defensive backfield ran over him during a play. He died two days later in the ISU hospital with his wife by his side. Then an unforgettable letter was discovered. My old feature story for Smithsonian #cfb #blackhistory

Speaking of billionaires sucking us dry, couldn't help but notice that the Tay team decided to roll with an AI video rather than, idk, use some of her vast fortune to hire some people. Always love seeing successful creatives punch down. Absolute clowns. Look at this crap (ALT has info) #taxtherich

Live here and yeah. Film and all creative work sucked dry by AI hucksters & mergers. Affecting adjacent industries badly. Housing costs were bit easier to swallow w/ lots of local steady 20+ ep. network shows & mid-budget films. Culturally I fear LA will = Detroit 2.0 Stunning stat below, worse now

Game 6 Cincy #bluecy notes: 1.) Cincy QB/WR duo among Big 12 best; tough w/ 4 DBs out 2a.) Sama better vs 2024; still missing extra yds too often 2b.) Missed it- how bad was Hansen hurt? 2c.) Badly need 3rd RB 3a.) Please can we have just 1 pass rusher pls 3b.) Cooper/Jontez (RIP) helped erase that

appreciate them all making it clear who they are

Why preserving history is so impt. The museum didn't know this was the actual staircase Harriet Jacobs was flung down by her enslaver, which she wrote about in her harrowing book "Life of a Slave Girl" which some thought fictional @us.theconversation.com (book here: archive.org/details/inci...)

This is such a charming short game. Play for free in your browser

ok @hollyanderson.bsky.social random question. When driving south thru Georgia on I75, does Florida culturally start in Georgia or does GA bleed into FL? Having this very impt debate right now (Also feels like TN ends somewhere in northern GA due to the Smoky Mts)

Game 5 Arizona #bluecy notes - 1.) A big welcome to Sowell 2.) Glad Smith had some low-pressure kicks 3a.) Sama = not much room but vision = inconsistent 3b.) Still wonder about his CB potential 3c.) Where is 3rd RB pushing for time 4.) Fifita = some laser passes 5.) Khijohnn injury?

Random unrelated image from my #history research today: 1712 copy of a 1597 map showing the Tower of London

Via other site Iowa State #bluecy struggling with kicker injuries, so this is apparently a 6'8" 310lb offensive lineman taking emergency kicking reps. Have any OL been kickers before? @sickoscommittee.org

WKU should be embarassed by this crap. Lobster hand, "Missouni" shirt, roof beams. Your art school is literally 400 meters away from the ath dept building

BREAKING: Pudge had a spa day.

This is really cool. See if you can read those two lines in the font

And much like an abuser would do, we are beaten up (with AI) and told it is our fault

🚨🚨🚨🚨 Posted on ISU's twitter acct 🚨🚨🚨🚨 Please sir, tears in my eye, use that Cy on the helmet for this game #bluecy

I had never heard of this before. The full seven page comic can be seen here. It's literally Jim Crow in space. Not only did the CCA reject it, they wanted him changed to a white man, which undercuts the whole thing

Oregon Ducks mummy shoes for the Penn State #cfb game. Sure why not uni-watch.com/2025/09/22/o...

I think about this evocative post at least four times a day

Support sandwich

Great thread about early animation racism. Reminds me of My Old Kentucky Home (1926) part of a pioneering cartoon series by the Fleischer brothers (Superman, Popeye, Betty Boop, etc). The ending has an extremely racist caricature of two Black characters with one using a watermelon on a fishing pole

Randomly came across the original Nevada state flag circa 1905. Gotta be up there with the best old flag designs #vexillology nevadamagazine.com/issue/fall-2...

This is Tampa Jr Tampa Jr from St Petersburg. Not joking

#bluecy one of the least penalized teams

Knugget. Also what's on the front hooves of the bigger horse? #horsesky

Olamide Zaccheaus went for the jumping celebration with DJ Moore who didn't see him 😭🤣

had to login to ask wtf that Memphis ending was. Instead of kneeling twice to end it, they run multiple plays then take a TO, Ark takes TO, they take TO and their QB takes forever to actually kneel on purpose for no reason? To make it worse - ABC didn't even show the coaches handshake #cristoballin

Good story!

potential new ISU #bluecy logo, especially the crossed eyes

Anyone know how I can upload a gif? I have a .gif file I created and when I upload it with the image button, I can see it playing in my create post screen, but then there's an error: detected file format (image/webp) is not supported (video/mp4, video/mpeg, video/webm, video/quicktime, image/gif)

Just reminding everyone that the Ford Foundation building in NYC has an amazing atrium that I love so much

We're struggling to do anything but watch this video of the newly discovered bumpy snailfish today.

Game 4 Ark St. #bluecy notes - many questions: 1a.) Still not sure how good we are 1b.) Are we new Big 10 west merchants 1c.) Ex: good coach/players, fattening up on avg. teams 2.) Same 2Q/3Q seq. as last wk (ASU = 32 plays, ISU 5) 3.) Is Konrardy hurt? 4.) Are any of our LBs playing at high level?

Lots more photos on @dansinker.com's website. Fantastic retro graphic design and typography. I had no idea Brookfield, IL had the largest video game arcade in the world #8bit dansinker.com/posts/2025-0...

need refs to start carrying a cane and wearing suits with bowler hats again #cfb

My favorite soothing show. Love early auto racing history like the Vanderbilt Cup in Long Island

Look at this beautiful girl! She’s Betty-sized 🥲

The Ames Tribune noted two days later that certain "stupid" citizens protested the effigies and tried to protect the integrity of the court but by doing so, the citizens "smell badly of fascist lawlessness."

I actually think they might have gotten this one right. Not sure what angles they had, but in the reddit link the vid at 16-17 secs it sure looks like the ball comes loose a bit in the transition from his left hand to right hand @sickoscommittee.org

funniest thing I've seen in weeks

Game 3 ¡El Ássico! #bluecy notes: 1.) Never a doubt 2a.) Didn't fold after tuff 2Q/3Q seq. (IA = 32 plays, ISU 4) 2b.) ISU 14 play 4Q punt series = critical for defense rest 3.) 5 penalties but horrific timing, cost points 4.) Only second halftime lead since 2012 5.) Good kick coverage vs Wetjen

every damn time

A while back I found this game film of the 1932 Kansas @ Mizzou #cfb game. What made it notable was the fun animated sequences, not really typical of the era. Film can be found here: digital.lib.ku.edu/ku-video/9

My freelance history stories take weeks to research archives, online newspapers, oral histories, newsreels, etc. for a pitch. First drafts typically = 50+ pages for sources, 10,000 words. Final story = about 1.5-2k words, with new facts that correct or expand the historical record. This isn't easy!

Here are all my 2025 #Doggust drawings! 🐾
