The unofficial online home for fans of the Old Dominion University Monarchs. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

The guy picking bets picked FIU to cover the 14 pt spread. On his board he had logos for all the teams except ODU. It was blank. They asked him to draw the ODU logo and they all laughed at no Logo for ODU. They did say they would have a logo for ODU basketball but not football. ODU needs to send college game day an ODU logo with a nice little note !

Saw that as well

They had some excuse that the logo/magnet got lost!

No respect and no recognition for ODU football.

Jay should take care of this ASAP!

Actually had the FIU logo and a vs Blank ! Incredible ! Just goes to show us how insignificant we are on the national level.

If we are not marketing ourselves or promoting ourselves nationally by our Administration then we should have just end stayed at the FCS level. We as a University are still thinking small time. We need to fix this immediately while we are going to a bowl game.

That makes two of us.

Not sure what the logo issue is. But all the marketing in the world won't change the fact that outside of their fans, some gamblers, and a very small number of college football addicts, there is very little national interest in ODU football. Do you keep up with the MAC and Sun Belt? Are you dying to find out the latest on New Mexico State football? If you answer yes to these questions, you are a very rare exception. My point is that the MAC/Sun Belt and New Mexico State are similar to ODU. Unless we end up having a season like Western Michigan is having this year, there is no national interest for ODU football. ODU has hard enough time branding itself regionally, much less nationally. Staying in FCS? Even less interest on a national scale. Appreciate your passion though!

There's no acceptable reason why they don't have our logo. It's definitely lazy on their part and potentially lazy on ours.

The media/branding logo package is available to them. The Battle 4 Atlantis seemed to have no problem getting the proper ODU logo. I'm not sure ODU's SID was even notified if ESPN needed directing to same. I will throw ESPN under the bus on this one before I assume mistakes were made on our part.

We probably get more publicity from the talk about not having the logo than if we had the logo.

They did have the FIU logo. Remind me again which team is in first?

I thought they couldn't pick point spreads on TV only who wins and loses.

CBS refers to us as Old Dom Why the hell can't we be ODU? Other Universities have the three letter abbreviation.

It's ODU's fault they didn't have a logo? We are "thinking small time" because a bit on ESPN didn't have a logo?

Clearly we should know what ESPN is doing, right?

I'm surprised they even brought this game up on College Game Day.
