Put white pony decals on them
Wear them at homecoming
Going retro for one game might fire people up
I'd like to beat at least one Div 1A team this year

Long Overdue!!!
Perhaps we should start a campaign to raise the necessary $$$ to purchase retro unis & helmets for the team; & they can wear the unis a couple of times annually at home & away?

Precisely.
Posted: Thu Oct 30, 2008 6:03 pmyou are crazy if you don't think 90% of Div. 1/2/3/Pro/High school/ etc. care about how they look when they play. so all of the ponyfans can get fired up about new jersyes/helmets but players can't? they did it as sort of a "throwback" look, I personally have no problem with players being motivated by what they are wearing, especially if it has to do with the history and tradition of the program...Dylan08 wrote:If a Div 1 football player gets up for a game because of change in helmet color then he doesn't belong on the roster.

Face mask penalties got us 30 yards on our first drive against Houston. Face masks are one of our most potent weapons. Do not take them away.

Our flailing is underrated.
