Nice to see App roll out the Gorton’s Fisherman logo for this social media post.
That's not an official Athletic Dept. graphic. He had someone make that and they chose to use that old logo
Never heard of this school.

I don’t know most D3 schools I’d say. Or D2 for that matter.

Hahaha good one Deedsy!

Just prepare yourselves, all. Because just as students of the 60s and 70s got nostalgic for the old Yosef, and students of the 80s got nostalgic for the flying Yosef and snowcapped A, students of the 2000s will get nostalgic for the Gorton’s fisherman and try to bring it back.

It's me! I'm one of them who always liked Gorton's Yosef Man. However, I like Victory Yosef a lot more.

Some will, but not many cared for it then.

Coaches at all levels and in all sports use to talk about commitment. The word is not in use anymore. Even when talking about a player’s work.

Alabama State? North Alabama? I’d find it hard to fathom him even getting an offer from Troy or South Alabama.

Gone are the days of being better than teams on paper.
Starting out the season with 0 wins. No gimmes on the schedule with 70+ new guys.
We could go 0-12 or 12-0! CFB is now so intriguing because you don’t know what you’re going to get at all anymore.

Could someone please put up pictures and names of all the different Yosefs so I can work through it in this small brain I have?
I’ve always like Yosef with the corncob pipe which is what my shirts and hats have. What is that called?

I hope the GM said, No Thanks. Clearly he thought it was ridiculous.

At some point lessons need to be taught.
