This year's bank pins.

[Roar More]

I was a little late with my State College Food Bank contribution this year so the Pins just arrived today. Somebody is going to have to explain several of these to me.

West Virginia - Stuck at Base Camp (?)
Bowling Green - Beaver Stadium = NO FLY ZONE (I get it. They are the Falcons.)
Kent State - Trash the Flash (Got it - Golden Flashes)
Illinois - Pop Da Champagne (Ok - makes sense)
UCLA - Bruins Hibernate Early ( No history with UCLA so we can still be a little original.)
USC - All Helmet, No Heart (?)
Wisconsin - Cheddah Ain't Bettah (I'll take it. Actually not bad.)
Ohio State - Don't it Make your Buckeye's Blue? (Recycled and why is there an apostrophe?)
Washington - Huskies Sledding on Thin Ice (It's a white pin for the white out.)
Purdue - Call the Repairman (A really vague reference to a broken boiler.)
Minnesota - Lions win, you betcha! (I like it.)
Maryland - Testudon't (Really - WTF!)

Maybe they should seek suggestions from this board next year.

my take on the WVa pin.
When climbing mountains you start at base camp. So, Mountaineers are stuck at the base of the mtn. Maybe?

USC’s is a take on ‘all hat, no cattle’ - so, lots of talk, but nothing to back it up.

Actually, For F*cks Sake should be a pin! It works for every game!

Imagine the quality of recruit that we could get if the pins were good!

Considering how many decades the pins have been printed for each season, it's bound to happen that you just run out of good, catchy slogans. Not every pin is a homerun like the infamous "Sh-t on Pitt" or a few others. Maybe it's time to retire the pins for some other keepsake for the fans. Maybe a signature key ring to dangle our keys like some other great schools do at games...
