    If they want to talk about legacy they should be forced to be the Citronauts again. Such a better mascot.

    Apparently, neither the students nor faculty liked or embraced the "Citronauts" mascot. Florida Tech has been recycled by a D2 school, now, too.

    May 28, 1981—Blue officially adopted as the primary uniform color in place of black after a Board of Regents mandate at its January meeting. Originally suggested to be “the deep blue Colorado of Colorado’s sky at 9,000 feet” by then-Regent Jack Anderson, jerseys were officially an “Air Force Blue” though different than the blue the Air Force Academy’s sports teams wore. Numerals were silver or yellow-gold, depending on the sport, and outlined in white. The football pant remained gold, but with a blue stripe, for both home and road. Football helmets remained gold but with blue logos. Other programs switched to blue, ranging from road basketball jerseys to golf bags. CU’s trademark south end zone is painted blue, the first color change since it was created after the track was removed in 1966.

    1984—The colors are altered slightly, as the blue is enhanced to a darker hue; football goes with gold, borderless numbers and com plaints rain in from many, as players can’t be identified from stands. Black and white photos and game films appear as if players wore no numbers at all. Bill McCartney had the football team twice wear black jerseys (against Oklahoma and Nebraska) in a similar way that Notre Dame broke out its green jersey for big games.

    UCLA wannabes?

    I hate how most iterations of gold on pants/ jerseys looks a lot more like beige/ tan nowadays. 

    Yeah, I think teams have gotten away from the "true gold" because it requires a heavier weighted fabric.

    PK is a better defensive coordinator than Mike Elko. Elko just hired a better PR firm.

    Remember how we all wanted to roast PK and Sark after the Arky game their first season at UT?

    Good times

    That’s kind of what I was wondering about.  People who are default UT or Aggy fans that aren’t that dedicated and open to other things.

    I’d have to imagine Houston is big enough that people like that exist.

    I was one of those people as a teenager. UT for football, UH for basketball

    Never aggy

    I think the Coogs would be smart to just lean into the Oiler blue full time.  I think it would help them with some casuals around town (assuming such a person exists).

    The "casuals" exist, but they're mainly UT or A&M fans during football season. They'll tune into UH for hoops, though.

    Front-runners

  8. "New" generic Nike template threads for UH.

    I do like how they've given the Adams family the finger with the Luv Ya Blue ensemble, though.

    Dad was a “practice” or Scout team player his whole time on The 40.  He was standing close to DKR with about 3 minutes left in the game vs Navy.  DKR asked have played a snap, which Dad said only on KOs.  DKR said go out there son, which my Dad asked which position?  DKR said I don’t care, just send someone off the field!  Thus my Father “lettered” in his Senior season - final game.  ST plays don’t count towards statistics, unless the person runs/catches the ball.

    He truly was “Rudy” before there was a Rudy!  David McWilliams can attest, as they were roommates for over a couple of years.

    Hook’em!!!

    Did your Dad have an opinion on, Meat on the Hoof?

    I think we should leave the playoff system alone for a few years and see it play out a bit before we start rushing to fix it. 

    Personally I thought it was fine last season.

    Agreed

    I don't think either the SEC or B1G can justify 4 auto-bids out of 16. ESPN, FOX, and the other media outlets are biased towards both because they drive clicks and ratings. Big 12, ACC, and the new PAC's champions should all get a bid. I'd be in favor of the MWC, AAC, and Sun Belt getting one, too. Hell, scrap the bowls and go to an FCS-type tournament bracket.

    I like watching different match-ups and upsets, unless UT's on the short end.
