They're old throwback Urnge colors. Dont wear them much, if ever. Beside being horrendously ugly, not very comfortable. The EB jersey is its companion. Wear them lightheartedly, against Vandy.

Adidas is sooo 1999. If had it to do over wouldve thrown in black, or, done reverse. Orange stripes with white exterior.

Adidas had a resurgence ironically right when we dumped them for Nike around 2015-2019. Ultra Boost, NMD, Yeezy, Pharrel, all were very very popular shoes for about half a decade

Honestly I get why Madden flipped to Arkansas, SEC school and not far from Big Bro but also allows him to build his own legacy.

And allows the family to stay closer together. You can’t tell me it wasn’t hard having Nico at Tennessee and Madden in HS in Cali and trying to be there for both.

Honestly always loved the Adidas idea of being different. For just symmetrical, inside the box apparel they are far above Nike. Nike is too large, and supply chain is all over the map.

Nike tries too hard and has too many variants in its CFB apparel. That said, when they get it right, they get it right.

14 hour drive is much easier.

A take: once you hit age 85 you should have to re-pass your drivers license exam annually.

They need to fire the Mullet. I can't believe that some on here wanted him. They can't even win with T. Boone Pickett money.

The DC was a division 2 DC before Gundy hired him and The OC has been on Gundy's staff since 2011 as WR coach and didn't get promoted to OC until 2020. This tells me that no one wants to work with Gundy.

IF I live to be 85 years old, then ETHRA will be my transportation. No need for a DL.

 

[TrippieRedd]

but anyone can literally go on Nike ID right now and do it themselves

I think it means their actual shoe.

Lebron, Kobe, etc

The two times I have watched Duke they have looked good.

that freshman is legit. they are good. tough draw to go to Cameron. but i think it would have been tough for Duke if they had to go to the barn. they play good defense, and rebounded pretty well last night.

Auburn's defense...man...there were multiple times last night they literally stood around watching...........looked like an NBA team.

how do they even determine the matchups for these things? previous seasons conference standings? or is it random?

Once you turn 21, you should have to do a breathalyzer before starting your car.

As Cooper Flagg goes is how Duke's team will. The other Frosh for Duke is a terrific outside shooter though.

They unironically passed this recently. Look it up. Every car made after a certain year has to have a camera to detect reckless behavior and a kill switch installed.

 

[JCP201]

Okay, I just realized that if we beat Ohio State at their house, then we have to go to the Rose Bowl and play the number one team Oregon. Alabama, who barely got in plays Notre Dame, who is generally over rated, and then SMU? Seriously? this is some wonky crap.

 

[jakez4ut]

I think UGA blows TX out and Oregon kills PSU. For the life of me, I don’t understand the live TX is getting in this UGA game. TX has beaten nobody.)

they're getting a lot of credit for HOW they beat aTm, in College Station. and i get that. i think aTm was their most impressive win of the year....because they were the perceived less physical team and despite aTm's shortcomings this year, they were the physical team playing at home. most thought, self included, it was a bad match up for TX.

wel....turns out, TX can be physical and can beat a good team on the road in a big time environment...................................just like UGA did in Austin.....

so i understand it, plus it's hard to beat a team twice. and i would expect neither team to play the same way they did previously....i think TX will beat UGA this weekend. won't be surprised if they don't though.

i have no idea....kinda wondered that myself.

yeah, he had what, 20 in the first half, hit 6 3's? who does he think he is, Chaz Lanier?

 

[Volbucky]

Ah, so Nike/Oregon’s pitch is “hey come here and we will help you make your own shoe”

Literally selling every kids dream.


Must be nice.

A shoe isn’t every kids dream.

If you Google its determined by best matchups for Television, which makes sense..

That age needs to be wayyyyyy lower
Grandma going 50 in the fast lane is just as bad as bozos going 95

Sampson got SEC player of the year. Def looks like an eff you to Doak even though he earned it.

Should also be at least a consensus All-American. Finished 6th in total rushing yards and tied for second in total TDs among RBs.
