Any team called the Wolverines that has a picture of a rake on its helmet is ..... suspect.

The new Truck Driver U helmet with the 'effed up oversize horse wrapping around asymmetrically. Ugly as hell. A few other teams have played with this style as well, and they all suck.
Also, I'm not a fan of any helmet with the full name of the school on the side. Looks lame to me. Initials are OK and a single letter is widely used and perfectly fine, but not the full name spelled out (like the old Truck Driver U helmets, they can't win...)
Arizona States helmets with the matt black with the large tridents on each side were bad ass. Think they did that a few years ago.

You kids stay off my lawn!
Thump and BO7: Wisconsin 665 484 53 .574, Illinois 592 - 559 - .513, Iowa = 615 - 543 - 39 .530, Indiana = 461 - 655 - 46 .416, Minnesota = 671 - 498 - 44 .571, Purdue 596 - 535 -44 .571, Northwestern 409 - 652 -45 .440, Michigan State 670 - 444 - 44 .597, Michigan 915 - 330 - 38 .727, Ohio State 861 - 319 - 54 .719
Now I have no idea what you see, but here's what I see; two programs, Ohio State and Michigan, stand way above the other eight who mostly hover around .550. There's no way to not notice the historical connection. There is no other team in the mix that provides a meaningful rivalry.
Further, its not like the down cycle Michigan is experiencing now is without precedent in the history of the two schools - i only use Wilce and Hayes, but there have been other ups and downs in OSU's fortunes under Schmidt, Willaman, Carrol, Bruce, Cooper and Tressel. In fact as someone who suffered as a student during the 63 - 67 "drought," it's a wonder Hayes survived to have those glory years in the late sixties and early seventies. I remember the airplanes circling Ohio Stadium pulling signs that read "Good - bye Woody" and when Carmen Ohio was modified to, "Oh Come let's sing Ohio's praise, and say good-bye to Woody Hayes." So delight in Michigan's dark decade. I certainly am. But I'm betting on history and the notion that the Weasles will be back.

I'll go with this.
I'll go with this. Probably sacrilege, but wasn't a big fan of Navy's helmet against Army. Loved the one they had against us though.
Also some of Maryland's helmets give me seizures trying to figure out wtf I'm looking at. Wish they'd just pick 1 pattern or something and stick with it. There's a lot Nike can do with an O... it's a simple design that opens itself up to all sorts of design changes, but there's only so much you can do with Maryland's State Flag design.

What happened to my ¤cash?
Love UMD's helmets on the LAX field. Hate it in football. But for LAX, there's only one better.
