Maybe we should vote on it.

and those people are FOOTBALL PLAYERS and RECRUITS.

both groups I care about much more than old alumni's uniform color preferences.

uh oh ur going to [deleted] off a bunch of old timers

[SMU2007]

do you think oregon alumni are pissed off that they were in the national championship this year with bizarre uniforms? NO. and i don't think you'll hear a single one of them whining about the uniform

you old timers need to figure out what is actually important to you.

[SMU2007]

win games and you can wear neon pink and a black top hat for all i care.

im not an old timer

uniform talk has gotten oh so very old. i don't know why i continue to get in on the discussion.

let's move on to more interesting things that actually pertain to smu football...

like- are we going to have a chance to beat a top 10 a&m team to open 2011?

Show mw any correlation between tricked up or black uniforms in Recruiting. In fact, if anything teams that wear traditional uniforms outperform jacked up and teams wearing black uniforms. The kids that have been instrumental in TCU going to 2 BCS Bowls and 25-1 did not turn that program around because of Nike Pro Combat Uniforms that did not exist when they were recruited. And TCU did it wearing Puple with a Horny Toad

[SMU2007]

if the football players that are there are excited to wear black jerseys, why not let them?

teams wearing traditional uniforms don't outperform a team wearing alternate unis. that is complete [deleted] and has no basis whatsoever. those things are totally unrelated.

the only thing that does have basis, is the players claims that they are really excited to wear black jerseys.

show me where wearing black uniforms for 1 game HURTS recruiting. the two things have nothing to do with eachother.

It's June. There's ample evidence to believe this isn't a one game thing. That's partially why this debate is being held. June's also very good about using "causes" in order to create positive spin around cosmetic and cultural changes he wants to enact at SMU. See Hawai'i. See the Geldings. See the black uniforms. I'll bet a top-shelf drink these black jerseys weren't a one game thing and we'll see them again except with more black.

It's not like it's hurt anyone but June says one thing and then does another when he's not throwing out vague, PC coach-speak in interviews.
