The new all gray uni's look good, but you have to admit that's our version of jumping the shark, and everyone knows that jumping the shark never works. In other words we're getting desperate. If you think a kid is gonna select your school because you have GRAY uniforms you're crazy, and if they do; is that the kind of kid you want in your program? (seems kinda shallow).

Last I looked... We had the #1 class in the nation BEFORE the new jerseys were released.

I want a talented kid with NFL talent. If he likes gray jerseys, then so be it. I've stated I don't like the gray jerseys, but it isn't the gray as much as I just don't like the designs in them and against a white helmet. If you think we're getting kids to play here because it's their dream to don the orange and bring back the '90s, you're crazy. They come here for the chance to play, shine and hear their name called from Roger Goodell.

It's not just about the recruits. It's also about the players currently on the team.

I totally agree, It's kind of like a woman putting on make up, and fixing her hair trying to make her self look pretty before her first date. so silly.

we're on our 4 coach in 5 years.

We're long past desperate.


God forbid someone makes an attempt to inject some enthusiasm into the damn program.

Wait until the game they wear the gray uniform, it will bring out all the disgruntled ones snarling and barking. The big box stores will sell out of Depends.

I say break em out for 2-3 games. Anything to get this team fired up is fine by me.

I was so scared for the Fonz. Had to wait a whole week to see if he made it.

Don't HAVE to admit anything...kids like progression and fun in a program they plan on committing 3-5 years of their life to, was reading the story on ajc's website and the negative response was from fans of our rivals....go figure

You realize "jumping the shark" in no way means getting desperate, right? I think you need to look up the phrase's Happy Days origins and get a grasp for what it actually mean.

I'm not the biggest fan of the gray unis, but the kids on the team like it and the kids we are recruiting like them. Therefore, I like them because that is really all that matters.

Do we want to compete at the highest level? Ok get used to a concept.

Everything matters.

Im sure that tour de France bikers dont shave their legs cause it makes a HUGE difference. But because it make difference at all makes it worth doing because when you compete at a high level any difference maker is important.

For one game UT will wear a uniform that most of the players are obviously excited about. If that little bit of extra adrenaline gives us the slightest edge, in just that one game, and it helps our team perform with just a little more intensity, thats a difference maker and it is worth doing.

This will be that last post i make on anything in regards to uniforms. GAWD HELP US!
