Just got an email from the alumni association asking for a vote on these three Homecoming themes. Now it's your chance to vote Bobcatattackers.

I chose OHIO Original even though OCF might claim it refers to him.

I chose OHIO Original as the best of 3 not great or very original (pun intended) choices.

They "borrowed" the first theme from Billy Joel and the third theme from HBO.

How about "OHIO and You, Perfect Together".

Worked really well for New Jersey.

Athens State of Mind sounds too much like Athens State Hospital, aka Lunatic Asylum.

I voted Ohio Original.

I like the other choices as well. But, boy, can you use Band of Bobcats after watching Band of Brothers? Makes me hesitate on that one.

Can somebody hit a pull up jumper for me?.....

Lunatic Asylum might make for a fun Homecoming theme.

Thought the same thing OCF. None of these is particularly exiting.

The accuracy of Bobcatattack polling is simply amazing. Just like in our poll, the 4000 folks who voted in the Homecoming theme poll picked Athens State of Mind for this years' theme.

Homecoming game is Saturday, October 20th versus BG.

Well, it could have been worse. They could have compromised on the options and decided on "Ohio State of Mind", which would have resulted in donnybrooks, shennanigans, and potentially fisticuffs.

Interesting and perhaps the voting is representative of the acceptance or lack thereof of the OHIO spelling in many publications and communications. According to the email I received today, Athens State of Mind received 2308, Band of Bobcats 936, and OHIO Original 665.

So your saying that Homecoming is going to be a Saturday home game. I wasn't 100% sure that was going to happen ;)

Me thinks you read too much into that, Alan. I think the vote had to do with the way people reacted to each total theme, not the spelling of OHIO. Personally, I liked Athens State of Mind the least because it sounds too 1960s and because it reminds me of the Athens State Hospital. But, that's just my personal reaction, I wouldn't try to generalize it to all the people who voted for that option. For the record, I didn't care enough to actually vote in the official poll, only here on BA.

Edited to correct grievous error thanks to my favorite proofreader . . . bobcatsquared. I'm glad he doesn't charge for his services! ;-)

Don't you mean "two" 1960s?

Or perhaps "too" 1960s?

Better ask the wife.

Or blame it on a typo?

I make lots of typos . . . get used to it. Remember I majored in broadcast journalism. You'd never catch that difference on the air! ;-)

Some on here have already renamed it, "Pedan."
