Wyoming goes there to lose next year.

Recently teams have honored their contracts and traveled to Laramie - TAMU, Texas, Nebraska have all come (of course on the old 2 for 1 exchange).  In times past big name programs bought out the Laramie game for big money.

OH GOD THE HORNS HOME JERSEY IS CHANGING



E: Also Kansas did a thing and has new helmets and uniforms.

That jersey isn't awful, but it would be better to get rid of the "Texas" if they are adding the logo.  You certainly don't need both (and since the Texas was there before the logo, it is probably what should go, otherwise this would just be the same old jersey with a slightly different font).
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Yeah, it looks busy like that.   If Bevo was a smaller collar "device" type thing just in the middle, it wouldn't be so bad (although the collar is the weird Nike "flywire" thing, so there's not really the little section at the center like there used to be).

E:  Uniforms:

E2: Someone on the shag said it'd be good if it were more like the basketball uniform collars:



I can do without the grey, but otherwise yeah.

I mean how many Bevos do the players need to have on them?  I think the helmet clues everybody in :P

Actually, they could keep Bevo and the TEXAS without it being too busy if they got rid of the swooshtika.  :lol:

Well, you'd also hope that you wouldn't need to actually have the university name on the jersey, but they've had that for years.  Not even Penn State does that, and they have about the most generic-looking jerseys possible.  I'd think people would know who the guys in burnt orange are.

But...but...they have had the 'TEXAS' in block letters there for...um...since the 80s or something.  TRADITION!

I don't know it just wouldn't look right.

I was thinking they could integrate two swooshtikas into the Bevo graphic as horns, killing two birds with one stone.

I guess that Yoga instructor/hippie medicine thing didn't work out.  Man I wanted to take his Yoga class here at UT, that would have been hilarious...but no time :(

Division II huh?  Pretty sweet to land a gig like that for your first job, but winning the Heisman has its perks.

They're taking UTSA's spot in the Southland starting this year, I think (maybe next year).  So 1AA/FCS now.

Johnny Manziel is under investigation for signing a bunch of autographs at an autograph broker's house for "five figures."  There are apparently photos.  Other brokers are popping up saying similar things.
