Houston won't allow white uniforms for Celebrate Cotton Game this Saturday

Link

Bad article but it looks like UH doesn't like Tech's all white jersey's on Saturday. In fact, they are not allowing it.

Saturday is the Celebrate Cotton Game that Tech has had a few years now and the crowd is asked to wear white too.

I guess the natural color of cotton is offensive?

That's funny, I've always thought the "Tell me about ...." threads were about Texas fans shit talking specifically about the subject school and not a thread on the Texas board for the fans of that sub

Keep ‘em coming - the Yormark and McGuire memes and vids - not only are they well deserved, most of them are hilarious. 🤣   Now that the Tech/UT series is officially over - or at least pause

I wouldn’t hold it against y’all if you fired Kliff before the season ends. 

They need him gone. We need him. It makes too much sense for everyone involved to not get this done.  We give you Tim Beck for what’s that worth and help fund KK buyout.  If he’s shitcanned after this season regardless he’s got nothing to lose. We continue to pay him his HC salary while he would be acting as OC. No new contract until the end of the season. If he works out he gets offered a new contract at OC market value. If he sucks, hit the bricks.

I take you haven't watched the Tech offense much since Mahomes left, then?  The shit Kliff is dialing up these days is more reminiscent of Greg Davis than it is of Mike Leach.

This from the NCAA rule book.

"The visiting team shall wear white jerseys; however, the home team may wear white jerseys if the teams have agreed in writing before the season."

So all of those SEC cocksuckers agree with LSU?

That’s hard to believe.  

All that being said, Fuck UH.  Wreck the Coogs!

this is why teams like Texas do not play UH because UH thinks they are relevant and they need to try and prove it by doing stupid shit.....Texas tried to play them the one time and they did the stupid shit with the bleachers of death and Texas said fuck off never again

having said that Tech needs to win this game for a number of reasons mainly to shut them up for good and to have 2 in a row over them after the infamous mike swings his sword and steals defeat from the jaws of victory game....after this Tech should do like aggy and Texas and just ignore UH and leave them off the schedule and to rot in the AAC

Fuck you and your neverending shots at Leach. 

He did not go undefeated. Nope. 

 

Tech football sure was fun. So was being in the national discussion. It’s been about 9 years since we were in it.  Guess that bothered you...

 

Give it a rest.

LSU and the white jerseys from wiki........

Jan 3, 201rom Wikipedia:

White Jerseys - LSU is notable as one of the few college football teams that wears white jerseys for home games as opposed to their darker jerseys (in their case, purple). Most other NCAA football teams wear their darker jerseys in home games, even though football is one of the few college sports that do not require a specific jersey type for each respective team (for instance, college basketball requires home teams to wear white or light-colored jerseys while the away team wears their darker jerseys), and is similar to the NFL in letting the home team decide what to wear.

The tradition started in 1958, when Coach Paul Dietzel decided that LSU would wear white jerseys for home games. Another story is the tradition first started when Dietzel had LSU wear white at home for good luck against a ranked Georgia Tech team in 1957 because Georgia Tech's team had long been known for wearing white at home. LSU won the game and he continued that tradition for the 1958 season and LSU went on to win the national championship that year. Since the 1958 championship season, LSU continued to wear white jerseys at home games through the 18-year tenure of Charles McClendon. Then in 1983, new NCAA rules prohibited teams from wearing white jerseys at home. Because of this, LSU wore purple jerseys during home games from 1983 to 1994. The team's fans believed wearing purple jerseys were "bad luck" and often complained about being forced to wear purple jerseys at home although LSU won SEC championships in 1986 and 1988 wearing purple at home. In 1993, then-coach Curley Hallman asked the NCAA for permission to wear white jerseys at home during LSU's football centennial, but was turned down.

In 1995, LSU's new coach, Gerry DiNardo, was determined to restore LSU's tradition of white home jerseys. DiNardo personally met with each member of the NCAA Football Rules Committee, lobbying LSU's case. DiNardo was successful, and LSU again began wearing white jerseys at home when the 1995 season began. In LSU's first home game with the white jerseys, unranked LSU prevailed in a 12–6 upset victory over #6 Auburn.

The 1995 rule allowing LSU to wear white at home had one stipulation: the visiting team must agree for conference and non-conference games. In 1997, the SEC amended its rule to allow the home team its choice of jersey color for conference games without prior approval of the visiting team. Therefore, only for non-conference home games does the home team seek permission to wear white jerseys at home. In 2009, the NCAA further relaxed the previous rule that required most away teams to wear white. The rule now states that teams must simply wear contrasting colors.[26]

After the 1995 rule change, on two occasions LSU was forced to wear colored jerseys at home. The first time was in 1996 against Vanderbilt, who was still angry at LSU for hiring Gerry DiNardo, who left Vanderbilt to become LSU's head coach after the 1994 season. LSU wore gold jerseys for that game (a 35–0 LSU victory), and fans were encouraged to wear white in an effort to "white out" the Commodores. The other was in 2004 when Oregon State did not want to suffer in its black jerseys due to the humid weather of Louisiana in late summer, thus forcing LSU to wear its purple jerseys for a nationally televised game on ESPN.

After the 1995 rule change, LSU was forced to wear colored jerseys on the road on four occasions. In 1998 and 2000, Florida coach Steve Spurrier exercised this option and forced LSU to don a colored jersey at Gainesville. The Tigers wore gold in 1998 under Gerry DiNardo (lost 22–10) and purple in 2000 under Nick Saban (lost 41–9). In 2007 and 2009, LSU also wore its purple jerseys on the road at Mississippi State, but the Tigers emerged victorious both times (45–0 in 2007 and 30–26 in 2009). Prior to the rule change, in 1978 LSU lost to Mississippi State in Jackson, Mississippi wearing purple jerseys.

Currently, LSU does not wear the traditional white jerseys for every home game. LSU only wears white jerseys for the home opener and for home games against SEC opponents. For non-SEC home games other than the home opener, LSU wears purple jerseys at home.

For our resident Tech fans, how much has personnel or play calling changed since ole miss?

Seeing what you guys did to a respectable UH team tells me Tech is not bad this year, but seeing what Bama did to ole miss after what they did to tech...either tells me Bama is just frighteningly good (probably true) or Tech is playing differently now.  Maybe both. 

I know, I know, transitive property and all, but still.

Probably the biggest difference is Ole Miss took out the starting QB on the second series of the game and Bowman was put in with little preparation and kept on a short leash.  He had the Lamar game to work out the kinks and open the playbook.  We all saw what Bowman did vs. UofH.  I certainly don't expect that type of performance at Okie Lite and I figure the true freshman will come back to earth pretty quick.  Seems like Kliff actually schemed pretty good against the UofH DL and Oliver.  

Let's see if he can scheme against the much better overall defense that Okie Lite has.

All of this plus Tech losing possibly one of its best DB's early to a targeting call.  Also there were some key personnel out with injuries that may be back for the Okie St game.
