According to this article from 2016 when they did the throwback logo it was used in both 1970 and 1971.

Honestly, that's pretty cool. The Marshall movie is good too.
I doubt they use Snorty on a regular basis. Even if they did, we are the copy cats here.

It’s only “copy cat” if intentional. And it wasn’t.

Looks like a Bison to me not a cat at all eh.

Years ago, I worked with a lady whose father was on that Marshall team. He was injured or ill and didn't get on the plane. Pretty much a last minute decision. Ironically, we were sitting together on a plane when she shared the story. One of those conversations you never forget.

Tuesday and Wednesday night games. For all of October. Mostly on CBSSN.
MAC's ESPN deal is far far better, and draws a lot more eyeballs than this will.

UTEP at FIU on Tuesday night CBSSN ...

Barely less than MAC and SBC. Plus CBS televises conf champ game in football and basketball. Actually , pretty decent basketball exposure. This would have been a perfectly good deal for us to be a part of to get into FBS.

Its horrible, less than half of what SBC makes, and less than our current media deal. It would be a pay cut for us.

CBS SN is a second tier network not in as many homes, and they just traded Saturday CBS SN broadcasts under their previous deal for Tues and Wed nights.
Some of us actually like to attend football games on Saturdays. CUSA won't have any Saturday games in October.

The kicker is supposedly the media companies have an easy early exit if the games don't hit performance metrics for viewership/revenue as well. Thats basically unheard of. It's saying if they don't earn enough the deal is off entirely.
