  1. The ceiling for the 2025 Texas team - QB’d by Manning - appears to be 2024 OU: really good defense with a limp-dick offense, mostly attributable to incompetent QB play. There is an argument to be made that even average QB play raises that ceiling. Could Caldwell be average? No clue. But if he can complete passes that almost every FBS QB consistently completes every week, that seems like an improvement. We’ve seen this movie before - this is going to be 2010 all over again if Texas sticks with Manning.
  2. Counterpoint: they should wear this for every home game, period, forever.
  3. I’m a big fan of Virginia’s unis. All orange isn’t my fav, but it isn’t bad and I’m a sucker for navy/orange combos. I’m particularly fond of the 1990 Shawn/Herman Moore throwbacks they recently wore. These are close enough.
  4. Less is more. Well done.
  5. Not only that, but you know who totally sucks at games that were never played??? Texas, that’s who! They always would have lost.
  6. Yeah, UNM has been using that script Lobos for a few years now. It’s fine I guess but I don’t see what value it adds. The Zia should always be the logo. Multiple logos waters down the brand. Feels like it is variety for variety’s sake. I’m of the opinion that Texas has the most recognizable/strongest brand in college athletics. In large part because they don’t fuck around with the logo or have alternate anything. Not suggesting UNM could build a brand like Texas but the Zia would make them immediately recognizable, and the turquoise would help too.
  7. No on the red/turqoise/red for me. The script helmet is fine (better than the cartoon lobos) but the Zia on silver helmet is perfect and anything else is inferior. I’d always have the Zia. If you want a white or red helmet, fine, but the Zia should be ubiquitous.
  8. Exactly. And perhaps the color will fade into something that looks more like orange.
  9. More like old school Oilers. But whatever, the turquoise is a little different and they’re a million times better than what they’ve had. Also, UNM had these back in the ‘70s: They’re perfect for UNM, the state flagship school. The Zia is on the state flag and aesthetically it is great on a helmet. Turquoise on silver is perfect for NM. This should be their brand.
