Well, we can blame the NCAA for the uniform business. In 1971, they passed a rule that stated one team had to wear white. Sometime in the 80s, they changed it to the home team had to wear white (even LSU). Eventually, they changed it back to the original 1971 rule, and added a rider later that said if both teams agreed, they could both wear their primary colors. Leave to the NCAA to fix something that wasn't broken.

I think you mean the home team had to wear their color jersey. LSU is the one that got them to change it back so that the home team could wear white in 1995, although for a while they had to get the visiting team to to agree. Vanderbilt refused in 1995 to wear white, and most seemed to think it had to do with DiNardo leaving Vandy for LSU. In 1997 Florida agreed to wear their blue jerseys but in return LSU had to wear their dark jerseys at Florida the next year; which they did (well special gold jerseys, not their traditional purple ones) and Florida wore their white jerseys at home. At some point they changed it to the home team decides what they want to wear and the visiting team has to wear the opposite, unless the home team agrees to let them wear their color jersey (and there is enough contrast).

And of course all this started because of black and white TVs; people complained they couldn't tell the difference between teams therefore the rule that one team had to wear white was created. Obviously they need to keep using rules based on black and white TVs.

I heard Leach and Norvell are out of the running at Arkansas. Now, they say, Justin Fuentes and Lane Kiffin are the top targets.

Thanks for the correction. That's what I get for trying to rush out a text. 😀🙄

Rumor on the Arkansas 247 board that Hogs will offer Matt Campbell a 7 year, $6 million deal with a large pool for assistants. Kiffin sounds like the next in line if he doesn’t bite.

That would be a grand slam hire for you guys. I’ve been a fan since his Toledo days. Was one of the few on here that thought he’d be successful at ISU and maybe the only one who wanted UT to hire him in ‘17.

He would be a great hire for Arkansas or most anyone else. I think he has a pretty big buyout but there are some deep pockets among y'all's boosters.

The Razorback fans will have to give him time to turn it around if he is hired. I think no matter who is hired it will take 4-5 years to turn Arkansas around.

I think it will wind up being Hugh Freeze or Bill Clark

Hugh Freeze won’t be a head coach in the SEC again for a long time if ever. The SEC office doesn’t want him embarrassing the league again and blocked him from being a coordinator. Any school who attempts to hire will be under massive scrutiny

Missouri is our only win over a team with a winning record.

Rumors on message boards during coaching searches are usually rock solid facts and Kiffin has shown interest in nearly every major opening since he was a coordinator at Bama: Houston, Oregon, FSU, coordinator at LSU, Miami, and now FSU again/Arkansas. Kiffin can be a great coach but he is a train wreck waiting to happen

Umm what?!
-UAB (8-3)
-Miss st (6-6)
-kentucky (6-5)
-Chattanooga (6-6)

Maybe not the type of wins you’re looking for? Some of these teams are .500, but at the time, they were/are quality wins

Oh wow! All of those ended up with winning records? I totally forgot about UAB, as well. Kentucky could go 7-5, if they beat Louisville. Damn! We good!!

Yeah there have been a lot of rumors about different guys but the mods have indicated there’s something to it so guess we’ll see. Apparently Jerry is really ponying up for this hire and will go up to $7 million per year if we need to. Said he has until Monday to decide or it’s going to Lane.
