The Rest of College Football

[WM Wolverine]

So sad to see those top four.

Either OU was signaling to potential suitors they were interested, or they were trying to bluff.

I still think in 5 yrs the BIG12 is as it is today. Texas will be the only team capable of moving at will.

I don't think its either, because OU is not a unified entity. Some in the AD were flashing their wares, but have been shut down by their political masters.

Agree on the B12s membership. There are no good options to add, and of the programs that want to leave, those who could do so have already. It is frozen as-is by circumstance, greed, and despair.

I don't imagine that Under Armor is too happy to see its flagship on the 2nd list.

Neither surprised nor sad.

What this says to me is that the kids like the pizzazz and don't think much about (a) Maryland's crazy-ass motif and (b) tradition. Alums, like me and probably a lot of them, love the football tradition they came up with and hate the kind of change that Nike/Oregon brought to CFB with their out there unis that started a craze a while back.

Kids love it.

I guess I need to get with the program. I could be OK with some change that preserved, in a retro sort of way, M's unis. Like Chevrolet does with the Corvette and Ford did with the Mustang (a really good job) and the Thunderbird (terrible job).

Cadillac has had the same grill emblem since the car was first built under that name in 1902. So has Mercedes. I think some talented artist could come up with something flashy and new with the Michigan helmet that preserved in some retro way the wings.

Time for a change.

Disagree. What this tells me is that winning trumps all. The rest is window dressing.

You can't separate winning/uniforms/Nike from Oregon. It is part of their strategy.

Because they are Oregon. They had to do something bold. Bama has the most disliked uniforms and they crush it in recruiting. Win and they will come.

UCLA has signed a $280M/15 year agreement with Under Armor making it the richest apparel contract to date.

...as Huey Lewis once said...

"...cool is the rule....but sometimes bad is bad..."

Not to mention his advocacy of a wide array of drugs.

The regents, according to Brown, believe Starr bears more responsibility in the matter than Briles.

Shocker. President gets fired, successful football coach is untouched.

These people are disgusting. And to think, this is a Baptist university to boot. Better people than the rest of us Phillistines and all that.

Waiting for the NCAA is step in here, with sanctions...any minute now.

[Hannibal]

When Gordon Gee said "I hope that Jim Tressel doesn't fire me", he wasn't joking.

Please don't hold your breath.

They are a Texas school, after all.

SMU had to commit suicide before the NCAA did anything.
