    Yeah, that truly limited the out of state skill positions they would bring in and the massive funnel of OL that were essentially brought raised since PeeWee in the Corn system. Iirc, all residents of Nebraska used to be accepted to NU, grades and scores aside or maybe it was just the OL "walk ons". It's been a long time but I recall some absolute bullshit in that regard.

    Good SI article on it from 2023

     

    Tom Osborne thought of himself as a saint for bringing those guys to Lincoln and keeping them off the street.

    That was mighty white of him. (no pun intended 😉)

    You gotta give Corn some credit for improvisation and pragmatism. They were one of the first programs to invest heavily in first-rate facilities and strength & conditioning (plus "supplements" for their walk-on OL). Those farm boys didn't gain all of their size from baling hay and alfalfa.

    On the one hand, thrilled "Wazzu" is back as a name. The admin thinking it wasn't serious enough for Washington State as an institution was a joke.

    On the other... not the most attractive helmet

    The script helmets have proliferated across CFB and TXHSFB. I'm not a fan of them, especially if the school already has a well-known and attractive logo. Wazzu's was cutting-edge for its time and is timeless, IMO.

    Their old-school Cougars script looks better than the WAZZU helmet

  4. Oregon definitely makes the most out of green & gold. But, the kids love their black unis too much to get rid of 'em. Uncle Phil takes care of his Ducks.

    A football player wearing a green and yellow Oregon Ducks uniform, number 72, with "Laulotu" on the back. The player is in a crouched stance, holding a football, with green gloves, wristbands, and cleats. The uniform features the Oregon Ducks logo and Big Ten Conference patch.

    Maybe it’s still good in Texas but Whataburgers in Oklahoma have gone to complete shit. Sonics are fading fast too but are better than Whataburger.

    It's still my favorite fast-food burger, but some locations are managed better than others. The Chicago outfit that now owns them hasn't ruined 'em in TX yet. At least not the Whataburgers near my home.

    Red outline only on the numbers looks kinda goofy, but otherwise a solid look in the Oilers' iconic columbia blue.

    Football shorts... look terrible. 
     

    We want shorts in football and pants past our heels in baseball. 

    When I officiated for TASO, the NCAA had a rule on the books that "knee pads must cover the knees".

    I guess that went away, or nobody chooses to enforce it.

    Blue numbers are hard to read on the orange jersey. Give 'em a white outline for crissakes!

    Did Liberty even exist long enough ago to have a logo like that?

    No, but the eagle isn't wearing the ubiquitous, old-school sailor cap, so that makes it okay.

    At this point I expect almost every SEC team we face to run similar defensive gameplan.  Why wouldn't you?  Let Arch prove it.

    Most SEC teams have the talent to copy the "bend, but don't break", umbrella the receivers approach. Hell, I'd make Arch dink & dunk it down the field, too, bc he hasn't proven he has the patience (or touch and accuracy) to do it yet. Limit 20+ yard explosives, just like tOSU did.

    I think those two schools were a bit more complicit in it.  With UT becoming a conference game, I think OU was just fine not having Nebraska every year.

    Now of course they said that was a reason things went south, but that's exactly like Nebraska leaving for equal revenue after they voted against it forever.

    Yeah, I remember reading something about neither wanting a rematch every year in the B12 championship game.

    My guess is they weren't opposed to Farmageddon specifically - they were opposed to schools having differing numbers of protected rivalries, so the compromise was in-state games only.

    This reminds me of the WTF moment back in the mid-90's when the OU - Corn rivalry wasn't protected.

    Good thinkin' Big 12 B16 (see the 6 kinda looks like a G. Take that, B1G!)

    I think the hype is not only completely gone, but people are just basically gonna check out until Florida.

    I'm not gonna change my schedule for 3 straight tomato cans. YT highlights will suffice.

    He said he was rooting for Georgia this morning.  Even said it pains him to do so as a Florida alum, but Texas can't come in here and win the conference without taking lumps. 

    Having aggy as our state's whipping boy isn't enough for these gumps?
