Color schemes

More cross-linkage love between one of my new favorite blogs.

Kyle at Dawg Sports has put up his take on the best and worst college football uniforms. He loves the traditional look from Nebraska, Alabama and Penn State (I, as well, am a fan of the Nittany Lions' uniforms), but I'm not so sure about Michigan. I mean, what in the hell is that thing on the helmet? Is it supposed to be a Wolverine after Troy Smith lowered his shoulder into one?

Though he thinks Wyoming's is ugly and, well, he's right. Though if we're talking specific uniforms, those throwback uniforms worn by Miami last year exceed anything I've ever seen. At least Oregon's is campy enough that you realize they were probably going for that (seriously, can't you almost hear the folks at Nike going 'how can we really screw with their fans?').

As an aside, despite it being Auburn, I've always liked both the home and away look the Tigers put on. In fact, when it comes to best 'on-the-field color scheme' few things are impressive as watching Georgia take on Auburn. As another aside, that's one of two games each year where, at some point, probably in the second quarter, I sit back and think 'holy crap ... this is Auburn' ... Florida being the other.

yeah, it sounds like he might have had a year of law school left, tops, when JMac rolled into Athens for college in 1996 (or when I rolled onto Techwood...shudder). Was he a noisemaker around campus then?
