  • Personalization Guidelines
    Personalization Guidelines Purpose Our personalization services are a very important part of the Thirty-One experience. We believe our personalization services set our products and our brand apart. Although we never want to disappoint you or our Customers, there are legal and policy limits to the personalization requests that we will fulfill. These Personalization Guidelines are intended to assist you in: • Helping our Customers understand what personalization requests we cannot fulfill; • Avoiding damage to the Thirty-One brand; • Avoiding the infringement of the trademarks of others; and • Reducing potential legal liability for both Thirty-One and our Customers. Our hope is that these Guidelines will help you to advise Customers of problematic personalization requests when Customers place their orders. Why Can’t Thirty-One Fulfill All Personalization Requests? Legal Reasons There are legal reasons why we cannot fulfill certain personalization requests. Sometimes companies (like Avon or Microsoft), sports teams (like the Cleveland Browns or the Ohio State Buckeyes), and famous people (like Jennifer Lopez) make a filing with the government to register their name, the name of a product (like Apple’s iPad) or a tag line (like Nike’s “Just Do It”). If we fulfill a request to personalize a Thirty-One product with a name or phrase that has been “trademarked,” then there is a risk we could face a legal claim for “trademark infringement.” Trademark infringement can occur when someone uses a name or phrase that causes confusion with someone else’s trademark. Here is an example. The word “Coach” could refer to a sports team’s coach or it could refer to the COACH brand of handbags.

  • Nebraska Basketball Program
    NNEBRASKAEBRASKA BBASKETBALLASKETBALL Two years into the Doc Sadler era, there is no question about the excitement building around the Nebraska basketball program. That enthusiasm not only comes as a direct result of the energetic and engaging personality at the helm of the program but from the hard-working and increasingly talented squad he puts on the floor every game. Sadler’s squads have reached their full potential each season, including a 20-win season and NIT berth last year. He has reshaped the program, bringing a new attitude to Lincoln and his players have bought in whole-heartedly, evidenced by a trio of Nebraska all-conference and all- newcomer honors in 2008. With each new accomplishment, the future gets brighter for Nebraska with Sadler on the sideline. Far column: In each of the past two summers, Coach Doc Sadler has hosted a golf tournament to bring together former Husker players and coaches, including (top) NBA veterans Eric Piatkowski, Erick Strickland and Nebraska’s all-time winningest coach, Danny Nee, along with (middle) Andy Markowski and NBA veteran Tyronn Lue. NU’s third-leading all-time scorer Jerry Fort came back to play in the golf tournament in 2008 (bottom), making a return to the campus for just the second time in nearly three decades. Left: Sadler led NU to fi rst-round wins in both the 2008 Big 12 Championship and postseason NIT. His 37 victories ties the 86-year-old Nebraska record for a second-year head coach. Below: Sadler has presented a free coaches clinic each of the past two years to have a chance to connect with high school and junior college coaches from around the state and region.

  • Husker Power's First 50 Years
    The Early Years Husker Power Timeline Why and How Husker Power became the national leader in strength and conditioning Devaney 60’s Bob Devaney joined Nebraska in 1962 as (Fig 60.1) Coach Bob Devaney later served as Nebraska the Head Football Coach and immediately Athletic Director from 1967 to established the program as a force in 1992. the Big Eight Conference. Prior to Devaney's arrival, Nebraska football had seven consecutive losing seasons. Devaney engineered an immediate turnaround with a 9–2 record in 1962 that included an upset victory over Michigan at Michigan and a victory in the Gotham Bowl at Yankee Stadium over the Miami Hurricanes. Devaney followed with an even better 10–1 season including a perfect 7–0 record in the Big Eight to claim the conference title and an Orange Bowl victory over Auburn. His success continued through 1966, with records of 9–2, 10–1, and 9–2. Consecutive 6–4 seasons followed in 1967 and 1968 and Devaney became subject to a whispering campaign about whether he had peaked. 1966 - The Weight-Loss Experiment Backfired. “Alabama looked at us as a bunch of big, slow guys from the North, and they were fast, quick guys from the South,” said former NU linebacker Adrian Fiala. “When we got done with that game, the Sugar Bowl, and the 1966 season, the next few weeks before conditioning got under way, Bob Devaney told us we had to lose in terms of weight. Everybody was put on a program to lose weight. When you are playing in the Big Eight and you are undersized, things happen, and they are not good.
