  • COLORADO Basketball Postgame Quotes Page 1 Colorado Buffaloes Vs
    COLORADO basketball Postgame Quotes Page 1 Colorado Buffaloes vs. Air Force Falcons, November 28, 2020, CU Events Center, Boulder, Colo. Colorado Head Coach JR Payne Opening Statement “First off, I want to say Brian Howell, you’re lucky we played well today because I was going to blame any misfortunes on you not being here. All kidding aside, I am proud of how we played. I told the team coming into the game that anytime you play an academy, you're going to play a team that's extremely tough resilient, and never will ever quit. Air Force was all those things. What I was mostly proud of is that we also were all those things tonight too. We always want to be the toughest, hardest working, the most disciplined team on the floor, and I thought we played well today. I was very excited about that.” On taking more shots “After the last game, even at halftime of the last game, we talked about how we were shooting way too many 3s. Not all of them were wide open. We want to be able to move the basketball and share the basketball and really work the offense to get a great shot. I don't think we did that the other night, and that's why the 3-point numbers were so lopsided. Now, we typically will take more than six 3s. But I also think our shooting percentage shows that we were really sharing the ball and really getting better looks at the basket.” On pulling away in the second half “I thought we started to transition more effectively in the second half.

  • 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.
