I also thought that. It's very mid century retro futurism, googie, Jetsons vibe. Like it. Jetsons was the very first thing that popped into my mind, but I wasn't sure who would get that reference. lol im in my low-20s and still watched the Jetsons! most of us know! (I hope, or maybe I just have funny memories of my dad making the joke that he felt like the dad in the intro where he pulls out some cash out of his wallet to give to his wife and she takes the wallet instead🤣)

A lot of Gen Z'ers grew up with the 90's theatrical animated movie, too.

Ok, we know it will be Omaha Supernovas, so now the biggest question of the day: what are we nicknaming the CHI?
The Nebula The Core The Quasar The Neutron - star core remnants of a supernova The Black Hole The Event Horizon The Constellation The Fusion The Shockwave The Elements Critical Mass The Celestial The Singularity
What do you think?

Only thing I found in Atlanta's local media was just the press release verbatim.
Atlanta reeeeaaaaally needs to develop relationships with the local news editors and producers.

So the Dallas team follows 15 people on Instagram. 4 of those are Texas volleyball alum. No SMU, Baylor, Rice, A&M, or alum from any other Texas school. Am I reading too much into this, or could that mean there is a significant tie to UT among the leadership of the team?

Oh crud, now I *really* feel old. hey, if it makes you feel better, you’re one of my favorite nebraska posters regardless of age! sports have historically been a great way to connect generations, right?!

During the press conference for the Omaha name, Diane Mendenhall stated that 2 more 2025 teams will be announced soon as well as the last 2024 team. I have a sinking feeling the 7th team might be a "Roaming" team playing "home" games in potential or future markets to build interest. Hopefully that won't be a permanent situation. Bet accepted. I say Vegas.

I say Vegas. whoa, whoa, whoa! Who said anything about a bet? I just am uncomfortable with them announcing 2025 teams before the 7th 2024. Definitely getting the vibe Dallas and this last team have just hit too many roadblocks and the 7th may just be stuck without a home venue, but they'll form the team to save face, that's all.

So, Omaha's Coffee and Cream radio show was at the Supernova's unveiling yesterday. They apparently did a collaborative podcast that hasn't been released yet, but they talked a little bit about the experience and their thoughts on how the team fits the city on their show this morning. It's from the 0:10:02 mark to 16:49
