But I can see why Universities are making these changes. It's a way to get hype going, whether good or bad. We all know in this day and age, all that matters is if you are in the news. More news worthy, more ratings, more fans, more interest. Dollars game.<br /><br />Taking that into account, I can happily say, the only thing I find distracting are Oregon's shoes. Everything else I can take. LOL! But my experience in Sports retail allows for the neon look. We have it everywhere in our store and it sells BIG in this modern day market. If the teams are going this way, it's because it's the newest trend out there and it will draw fans. Lord knows people are buying neon shoes up like crazy these days. ;)Katherine Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701961380138616355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018633413564074437.post-25538930649981054412011-09-12T11:19:35.757-05:002011-09-12T11:19:35.757-05:00Uhh..that would be MADE the cornbread.

I kept waiting for highlighter steaks to appear on the field. And being from GA my only wish is if the Bulldogs are going to look like Red Power Rangers....please play like one!<br /><br />I too make the cornbread and it is wonderful!Sherry Werthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018633413564074437.post-83306808640293942532011-09-12T09:04:28.985-05:002011-09-12T09:04:28.985-05:00ML-Oh, yes, the shoes.

It's hard to watch the real ball when when there are twenty-two neon balls of ugly moving at the speed of light. <br /><br />Glad you liked the cornbread!<br /><br />Cheryl--You are so right. While if there wasn't change, they'd still be wearing leather helmets and no face protections, classic is best. I feel the same way about my team. They didn't even have names on their jerseys until 1981. Bear said it was enough to have the team name. But I like the names on the jerseys--at the college level.<br /><br />Don't be me started on names on high school jerseys. I think if everybody in the state can't have them, no one should.Alicia Hunter Pace (aka Jean Hovey and Stephanie Jones)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13844329805282121486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018633413564074437.post-73599472140934851672011-09-12T09:02:10.398-05:002011-09-12T09:02:10.398-05:00No surprise that I agree with you all that the sho...No surprise that I agree with you all that the shoes have gotten out of hand. When you are watching a football game and everyone in the room comments on the players' shoes there is clearly a problem!Stephanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018633413564074437.post-35835795282167615102011-09-12T08:07:17.195-05:002011-09-12T08:07:17.195-05:00I'm with Maven Linda - the shoes!

LOL<br /><br />I like my team's uniform. It's old school. Coach Dye designed them way back when. They still look good. I heard a commentator say it's kind of like in the seventies when you wore a frilly shirt with a funny colored tuxedo to your wedding - bet it isn't hung on your wall. BUT if you wore a classic tuxedo, bet that picture is hanging on the wall. Good taste doesn't go out of style. These new uniforms won't last like the classics.Cherylnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018633413564074437.post-50925034066381611352011-09-12T06:06:16.695-05:002011-09-12T06:06:16.695-05:00I hate the trendy, glitzy uniforms because, yes, t...I hate the trendy, glitzy uniforms because, yes, they distract my attention from the game. Oregon and Boise State both look as they have huge neon wooden clogs on their feet (yes, it's their shoes that most bother me!) They play good football, but the uniforms are <br />U-G-L-Y.<br /><br />BTW -- I made the blackeyed pea cornbread. YUM!Maven Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191207825985417403noreply@blogger.com
