Ok lemme jinx this ...

if we make the tourney, do we go with the Gothic uniforms for the first game, or something new/special?

The green jerseys.

Gothic. Those first 500 students who showed up for the free Gothic Shirts last night deserve to have their momentos continue the Karma.

(Had to come up with some way to neutralize the jinx factor Smithee is playing fire with in starting this thread.)

What do you mean "if"? Want me to edit that for you?

I would go even more retro. A nice half uncial script, which propelled the Lindisfarne Gospels into the calligraphic Hall of Fame, would certainly do good things for the 'Cats.

Wth does that mean?

The calligraphy of the Lindisfarne Gospels is off-the-charts ornate and beautiful. It's flat out amazing.

Only on NU basketball message boards. Thanks Uber. I learned something new and beautiful today.

The Irish monastery movement, which produced this, was one of the few beacons of light during the Dark Ages (no, not our dark ages). Thomas Cahill's "How the Irish Saved Civilization" is a great read on this topic.

Looks like the chapters in Monty Python and the Holy Grail

 

[ubercat]

Yes, and look what it did for them.

we should respect the history of the tournament and our role in the first one . . . 1939 throw backs, complete with the short shorts.

Thanks, Smithee, for doing that to Lindsey. Geez, what were you thinking?

 

[Alan Smithee_rivals156293]

No problem. I do wives, ex-girlfriends and new presidents too

 

[Kelly_32_rivals]

I love my wife and my new President but feel free to jinx the ex-wife.

 

[julescat]

You bastard, you killed Lindsey!

 

[NURoseBowl]

Uber, you've outdone yourself.

You could be next, m'kay?
