About a month ago, I complained about Michigan State's alternate uniforms and compared them to what I remembered Oregon's uniforms looking like a couple years ago.
Before tonight's game against UCLA, ESPN showed some of the Oregon players warming up. I assumed that they were wearing semi-throw-away, warm-up-only jerseys that would be replaced by their real uniforms during the game.
Oh, dear.
On Denard Robinson:
Can you imagine how many yards he'd put up if he got to go against his own defense?
Remember my complaints about CBS's announcers not knowing when their mics were active during online broadcasts? While half-watching the Lions game just now, I looked up after the return from a commercial break and heard one of the announcers say, "They'll rip his head off and pour beer down the corpse."
Was that another mic gaffe, or do sports announcers have that much leeway with their language these days? I don't necessarily mind if those are words that you can say on television now, but I do like keep my knowledge of what is and isn't permissible up to date.
Two Saturdays ago, I was at PAX, where football was not a concern. Last Saturday, the Michigan State football game was not broadcast nationally, so I could only listen to the radio broadcast on wjr.com.
I remember hearing jokes in the past about how the University of Oregon must be getting kickbacks or something from Nike for their uniforms to be so garish. Now that I can finally see what MSU's wearing this season, I have to wonder...
