Black Uniforms against MSU

UTSA wearing all black for a Halloween game vs Tulane as a 6 point dog, live odds are UTSA -21.5

Bring on the all blacks!

Go Kiwis!
 







So it is BOTH salute to service and spooky Halloween week?!? Classic throw everything against the wall and see if something sticks.

There is an old saying “read the room.” After last week’s pile of stench of a game, there has seldom been a bigger cry for a unified maroon and gold reset.

But here we are. Hopefully the defense department check offsets this failure to read the room.

And this is from perhaps one of the most tolerant people of uniform shakeups.
 





Personally, I will always be partial to Angry Gopher.

We have 2 Angry Gopher pieces of memorabilia. One is a plastic juice pitcher that is gold with a maroon Angry Gopher face on it. The second is a full-size heavy wool blanket that is maroon with the complete running Angry Gopher on it. Given he existed for only a single season feel pretty blessed with both of them.

For some reason I thought that maybe Coach Kill would move to bring him back. Supposedly he was too scary for the kids in 1985. He's probably too scary for the young adults nowadays so never mind.
 









"Kids like them and that's what matters!" So we wear them to please the kids!!

Players that wear boring OSU, Texas, Bama, Georgia uni's, etc go there to win and represent the uniform and the tradition whether they like them or not.
Texas, Bama, Georgia - yes.

But OSU has worm black and dark gray (not the light gray of their official pantone) at home.

A plea to disco and UU . . . stop interjecting facts/photo evidence to ruin a good argument!
 

Honestly, as far as major programs go, only USC and Penn State come to mind as never having a real alternate uniform/color scheme, though I think PSU did wear some throwbacks with numbers on the helmets once or twice. Even Notre Dame has those bright green uniforms sometimes.
 

Didn't some buffoons at the U believe it made the athletes rapists so they went back to friendly goldy?
I don't think it was that, but that's probably how some people mischaracterized it.
I think this was around the same time that the original Sally on the Sally's sign (a buxom lady gopher in a low-cut sweater) was modified because some thought she was a bit too slutty.
