NCAA Football '11-'12

[Barrister]

I like it.

I mean - it's ugly as fuck, but it certainly is different...

[grumbler]

So sorry for you, Seedy! 

There have been some good-looking Maryland uniforms in the past (I liked the black-and-white better than Friedgen's red-and-white) but none of these seem close to being good.  The third one from the left would do if they abandoned the butterfly wings over the shoulder pads.   The one on the far left might even be acceptable if the pants didn't look like a set of diapers.

[CountDeMoney]

You should have posted the whole set. 

I was too embarrassed.  Figured it could wait till the season started.

I like the shell but the stripe doesn't look right.

It looks less like a turtle shell, and more of something Barney Rubble would wear.

I am so ashamed for the Terpies.  It's shit like this (and Oregon) that makes you appreciate the Notre Dames, UCLAs, Michigans, Army/Navy and Penn States even more.

Now that you have some sweet new uni's you are only one shitty street agent and $25K away from playing for the big one.

One of these things is not like the other ones...

UCLA?  They make UNC look macho.

UCLA was where the jersey shoulder loops started with Red Sanders back in the '50s, and has influenced many a collegiate and pro uniform ever since.

Sorry bro, baby blue and scripted logo aside, they still get props for innovation.

The white uni, from what I can see of it, isn't too bad, except for the helmet, which is retarded.

No all-white uniform is actually good, but I agree that this all-white uniform isn't worse than any other.

[PDH]

All of these schools are trying to take away from Wyoming's long run in the top ten of "Worst Football Uniforms" lists.  It is just another case of the power conferences taking the little guys out of the picture.

JOHNSTON, Iowa -- The new trophy designed for the winner of the annual Iowa-Iowa State gridiron showdown was scrapped Tuesday as organizers acknowledged it had too much to do with corn and not nearly enough to do with football.

[Valmy]

I love it when states embrace the stereotypes other states insult them with.

'Hell yeah we have nothing but corn!  We are proud of it!'

ESPN had a story on pressure on Mack Brown. Sounds stupid to me. Reminds me of the crap Tressel went through a few years ago.

YUO WON A TITLE, WHY WON'T YOU WIN MORE..NOW. NOW! NOW.

Stupid subhuman fanboys.

They've been like this from day 1, and it won't matter if his teams win three more of the things.  They'll still find reasons to hate him and screech about how he needs to be fired.   I hate those people.

edit: Well okay three more for a total of four and they might get off his back. I would imagine Mack would retire after winning the first of those three, so it wouldn't matter anyway.

So Michigan's AD has decided to schedule Appalachian State as the season opener in 2014.  After a series of pretty good moves, this one comes as a shocker.  While he argues (via twitter) that "the opportunity to play again is a good thing. I don't see how it could be a negative" the only conclusion one can draw is that he lived under a rock in 2007.

Who needs (besides Michigan's recruiting rivals) eight months of re-runs of the vids of ASU blocking the field goal for the win in between the end of the 2013 season and the 2014 kickoff?  Michigan doesn't need the revenge game (and if they did, they should have scheduled Toledo instead!  ) and cannot gain anything from beating ASU; ASU is Div-1AA, so is going to be a massive underdog no matter what.

Dumb, dumb decision.  I hate, hate, hate the fact that Michigan has abandoned its longstanding policy that it won't play Div-1AA schools.  They are playing Alabama at a neutral site in 2012; why not make that kind of game the new tradition?
