Four thoughts on this billboard

Brain cheer?

I guess you’d call this a billboard; it’s hanging on the Student Center right now.  Anyway, my four thoughts (please add your own in the comments):

  • I would really prefer if our students did not cheer their brains out as they might need them for classes.
  • As an overweight white guy myself, the green body paint on this gentleman is not exactly “selling” me on this kind of fandom.
  • It occurs to me that the eagle on the “E” football logo could easily be turned into an emu with minimal effort.
  • Only one night home game, and it appears to be coming up next week against Army.

  1. Where are the serifs? I thought EMU’s ‘E’ was supposed to have serifs.

  2. Can I turn my degree back in? That’s just bad…

  3. Angry, out-of-shape-devil-European-type male celebrating no brains. Seem more appropriate for a recruiting poster for Tea Crackers than a university.

    I’m sure this is one of those great ideas from the same people who bought paddle boats for the Jethro Bodine Memorial Cee-Ment Ponds.

  4. ALso, when did we become so set on this “united” crap….diversity and all that hokey stuff belongs in student affairs and communication classes, not the gritty gridiron!

  5. Serif Watch: Let’s just agree that this fan failed typography. Though I’d really like to see them switch the “E” on the helmets to sans-serif, or at least reduce the monstrous slab serifs they use now.
