NCAA Football, 2016

I've given up caring about college football uniforms. Sports apparel companies are going to pay to dress teams up in hideous outfits because for some reason that makes people buy their stuff, there is nothing I can do about it, and if I wanted to spend time worrying about clothes rather than football I'd be a fashion show fan rather than a football fan.

Those hideous alternative Notre Dame uniforms really hit you hard huh?

I am glad we can all agree on a couple critical points though:

1. In general, modern uniforms are an abomination.
2. Specifically, ASU's uniforms are even worse, but that is to be expected. It is ASU.
3. Arizona is the exception, and has very sensible, while still cool, uniforms.
4. Grambling State has an awesome band.

Actually, regarding point #3 and the picture posted, while those uniforms do not seem bad in the picture, they are actually horrendous for a fan trying to watch the game in the stadium, because that shading numbering makes it hard to ready numbers and identify players.

I know that is not a concern of Nike because it isn't a concern of someone about to buy a jersey,  so it is really not relevant I guess.

Wait.  So there's an Arizona *and* and Arizona State?  Why do they need both?

Certainly Ohio has never seen the point of having two college football teams.

The zips are enough for any state.

The lines this week for college football are interesting...Miami is only -3 against Appalachian State. It is at Appalachian State, but even though Miami hasn't played anyone, they do look significantly improved. It seems vegas isn't sold.

On the other hand, ND is -7.5 against Sparty.

It's not about you.

Maybe, but considering how few people in Ohio would be qualified to attend college if it weren't for athletes often getting a pass on their grades, you'd think that they'd want more scholarships available.

The Mighty Bobcats beg to differ.

Case Western Reserve Spartans.  OK, not really.

My brother went to CWRU.

Worst neighborhood ever. And I went to New Haven. It's bad.

Speaking of teams from Ohio, Bearcats are playing tough game vs #6 Houston.

[Admiral Yi]

And I went to New Haven.

  You're an Eli?

This morning I told my buddy in Houston the Bearcats would either win by 2 or lose by 28.

Speaking of uniforms....
