College football week 12 thread: All the Brigham Young Dudes

[micropolitan guy]

I think Maryland might have worn the worst uniforms in program history against Rutgers this past Saturday. Those things were hideous. I know they have to genuflect to their Under Armor owner, but gawd, such terrible choices. I remember the old red jersey-white pants days under Bobby Ross, looked pretty sharp.

And I think Greg Schiano has just done a spectacular job at Rutgers. Maybe he just can't be successful anyplace else but man he's done well there, better than they could have ever expected. He's the perfect fit.

I don't hate those Maryland unis. Yellow has been a color used by Maryland basketball going back at least 45 years to the Albert King-Buck Williams-Greg Manning era.

The history of ugly uniforms at Maryland is a strong one.

I don't know whether Texas is as proud of its state flag as Maryland is. Whoever's third place is a distant No. 3.

It was just for one game, but . . .

South Carolina is a strong bronze medal contender.

For some reason it just bugs the **** out of me when teams don't wear their school colors. I know it's all about marketing and selling more apparel but it still get me mad for some reason.

Washington wore all black last Friday night, hardly any purple. Carolina sometimes wears Duke-blue jerseys, with Carolina-blue numbers. Everyone has to wear gunboat grey at least once, must be a Nike edict. Drives me crazy.

Iowa State is bad about not only doing all black, but doing it against a team that actually uses black as a color. UCF last week, Iowa in the not-so-distant past.

I used to hang out on Uni Watch for a while until Paul Lukas got a little too high on his own supply and started acting like an HOA president. But he had an acronym there called BFBS that was perfect. Black for black’s sake.

I don't like looking at two teams and not knowing who's playing.

Even if you have two teams with relatively similar color schemes, IF they wear the regular uniform you can usually tell. But if Wisconsin is playing Indiana and the teams are wearing alternate ****, forget it.

What do the stars represent?

East, Middle and West Tennessee - at least that's what it means on the state flag.

Florida State is going to wear turquiose this weekend I believe. The basketball team has done it for a couple of years. It's to honor the Seminole Tribe of Florida and Native American Heritage because turquoise represents harmony, friendship, and fellowship in Native American culture.

As uniforms go it doesn't look bad at all, just out of place in comparison to the traditional stuff.

You're on double secret probation for not knowing that!

And why is a Tennessee state flag used for a college scene that was supposed to be set in Pennsylvania but was actually shot in Eugene, Ore.?

Although the film takes place in Pennsylvania, a Tennessee flag is shown in the courtroom. This is because the set decorator was unable to find a large enough Pennsylvania flag for the scene, and the blue Oregon state flag wouldn't work, because it had "State of Oregon" text on the upper part. So the set decorator used the most generic flag he could find, which turned out to be the Tennessee state flag.

Watching the rankings show and kudos to the stylist for Booger and Joey Galloway.

Harmony, friendship and fellowship. Just the things they’ve displayed in their ongoing litigation against their conference.

The Tennesseans who are super into the Tri-Star logo are usually the ones who want to sell off West Tennessee for pennies on the dollar. Which would leave them with two stars. Go figure.

West Tennessee is 40% Black. The rest of the state is 10% Black. Interesting.
