They go there because they win national championships and have exposure to go pro.
Let's talk uniforms for this fall under Beamer
- Thread starter world famous 3rd base hecklers
- Start date
In the baseball instance, they see our interlocking SC and know who it is, not necessarily pin stripes.

This 1000 likesI want to make a change to our home game uniforms on a hot and humid days. Wear white jerseys. We done it the past years about 70 years ago or so.
Why give an edge to visitors when it's hot and humid outside. Now, with that said, we used to wear mesh garnet jerseys and something that could breath better. I'm all for going back to this look. Helmet and all.
I want this type of uniform and the type of players who played in this uniform starting with George Rogers, Emanuel Weaver, Chuck Slaughter, Andrew Provence and Harry Skipper.
I do not ever recall winning a blackout game. Hope we never have another one. It screams inferiority and desperation.
2016 Tennessee was a win. 2018 Tennessee was a win. There are some big losses in blackouts that stick out, but that 2016 win over Tennessee was especially huge at the time. They were ranked with a real shot to win the east. That game really was the end of Butch Jones' tenure at UT and gave Carolina fans real (misplaced) hope for the Muschamp era.
Older people were once younger people and remember what that's like. Younger people have no idea what they will learn during their life, they think they already know everything. As a teen I thought my parents just didn't understand what we were thinking and going through. It's kind of funny that the older I got the smarter my parents became. There's a lot to learn from one's elders and the smarter youngsters take advantage of the advice and wisdom that can only come from those that have lived it already. The others just say "Ok Boomer!" There's still hope for them but they will have to learn it the hard way.
At this point, as long as we don't do the Akron 2018 or Arkansas 2017 combos (jerseys and pants), I don't care what Beamer does. Those combos are absolutely atrocious.
And older people often paint younger people with a broad brush just like the younger ones do about the older ones. Every generation tends to think the following generation is going to be the end of society. The fact is, the world changes and people change with it.
I for one don't see the harm in letting the players have a say in what the uniforms that they wear will look like. It helps get buy-in can give the team a sense of ownership.
That said, at this point I really don't care anymore. Just win, dammit.
As someone who has tried both strategies, the young people never agree and the simplest thing is avoid conflict by letting the coaches choose the uniform.
