This year's bank pins, probably the weakest yet.

[Roar More]

I was a little late with my State College Food Bank contribution this year so the Pins just arrived today. Somebody is going to have to explain several of these to me.

West Virginia - Stuck at Base Camp (?)
Bowling Green - Beaver Stadium = NO FLY ZONE (I get it. They are the Falcons.)
Kent State - Trash the Flash (Got it - Golden Flashes)
Illinois - Pop Da Champagne (Ok - makes sense)
UCLA - Bruins Hibernate Early ( No history with UCLA so we can still be a little original.)
USC - All Helmet, No Heart (?)
Wisconsin - Cheddah Ain't Bettah (I'll take it. Actually not bad.)
Ohio State - Don't it Make your Buckeye's Blue? (Recycled and why is there an apostrophe?)
Washington - Huskies Sledding on Thin Ice (It's a white pin for the white out.)
Purdue - Call the Repairman (A really vague reference to a broken boiler.)
Minnesota - Lions win, you betcha! (I like it.)
Maryland - Testudon't (Really - WTF!)

Maybe they should seek suggestions from this board next year.

I think base camp is where you stay before climbing a mountain. Trojans wore helmets but I don’t know about the heart.

Some of those are really stupid.

Years ago there was a winning pin suggestion of "beat the wolves" for the Michigan game, I pointed out to the marketing director that a Wolverine was a different animal than a wolf lol. She just laughed and said they were going with it. I thought my suggestion was much better, I can't remember what it was right now though.

well, we don't want to offend anyone! My God, where is your sensitivity?

Slogans were much better years ago. My favorite was in 1967 for the West Virginia game. We crafted homemade buttons that said Muck the Fountaineers.

How many worthwhile ways can you say something about the same topics, with a hook that really grabs people, over the course of 50 years? It’s like Bruce Springsteen. Was once a great songwriter. After we left the 80’s he pretty much sucked.

Maybe it's a variant of 'all hat, no cattle'??

Base camp is where they stay before leaving to climb the mountain. Mountaineers stuck at base camp.

As for USC I assume it’s a play on sayings like ‘all hat, no cattle’.

Bring back "Sh## on Pitt". Simple, straight to the point.

For Michigan how about muddy fish once more?
