New skin?
Just sitting here reading our bull****, and I realized that our board's skin hasn't changed since I got here (almost 9 years ago, damn). Is anyone good with design or anything that could redo the skin for this page? If you look around and some of the other boards (especially the ones that have became active more recently) and they have some pretty cool looking pages.

Just a thought. I have no talents here, I'm just the idea guy.

All white? Or maybe with corn in the upper corners?

New skin?
9 years you say? Hmmm seems in line with our recent history if winning!!! Might just be coincidence but could be causal?! If it ain't broke don't fix it!!!!

Actually, by your post, it sounds as if you have no ideas at all. It might be more accurate to refer to you as the "I-point-out-s*^t-that-sucks"-guy. 04-jawdrop

Which, let's face it, is probably one of the more complimentary monikers you've worn.

I have ideas, but I do not know if they translate well to what sort of code is used to write the background for this place. That being said, it is rare when I get any positive moniker, so yes, I'll take it.

Yes, but the red background with the chopped off Huskie head logo at the top is old. Just saying, we are an elite team, gone to a BCS games, I think it could look cooler.

Hey hey hey. Your skin just changed to the concrete main background about a year ago. But the header graphic hasn't changed in quite some time indeed.

RE: New skin?
If you can find something dog-ish (paw/bone?) as a tile pattern I can change the concrete to something team specific like:

http://uab.csnbbs.com <-- I think the best skin on the site

I think it looks great. Wasn't there a short time where the background was messed , like a hard on the eyes background, purple or something when they were changing to this a couple years ago?

Yes please! I'm always in for a fresh new look. Maybe you could show a couple options and let the fans vote?
