This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Monken, age 47, is (surprise, surprise) a big fan of the 80’s band known as “Van Halen”. Interestingly, however, the Vernon Hills’ football coach claims that the band that rocked the 80s never entered his consciousness--in his planning of the high school’s new team logo.
Monken says, instead, that a Virginia Tech national title football game in 2000, was the source of his “inspiration”—the coach deciding he wanted to make a Vernon Hills (VH) logo logo similar to the VT used by the Virigina “Hokies”. Apparently originality runs deep. The coach then swapped that idea, kind of, leaning toward Van Halen.
A Van Halen song had started to play during the Virginia Tech game, apparently providing Monken with what can only be dubbed ‘creative genius’. The world of advertising is apparently missing one of its key players.
