I think coaching is a big problem for UM. Head Coach isnt helping and they got the OC from us who isnt hot either.

I guess I just don't care for the Chrome look ... Oregon does that stupid stuff and it looks pathetic, now others have to try ... Yuck, I hate the idea.
Now had they went with a Gloss Black and the Red Cardinal without the Chrome, I think that would look sharp.
This coming Saturday will be very busy, I would have loved to watch the Oregon / MSU game in it's entirety, but seeing the Buckeyes / Va Tech game is at 8 and the MSU game is at like 6:30 I think, I'll see at least part of it.
I'd rather one be at 3:30 and 8, but I don't make the schedules.

Things like travel arrangements and other school commitments the players/coaches/schools may have. This is a non-conference game, so only the 2 schools have any say in the matter as it is a private arrangement between them. Therefore unless the 2 schools agree differently, the game will not be made up.

Ask Georgia what happens when you mess with classic uniforms, 3 bad losses in a row.

There are some teams that should NEVER change their uniforms. Bama is one of those. Never. Ever.
I even hated when they did the Nike Pro Combat uni a year or two ago, and it was as bland as those unis come.

Yeah, the Alabama one wasn't a good choice. But then there were the power rangers uniforms against Boise St. at the dome, followed by B&W against Florida in JAX. Games that should have been won, but weren't.
I prefer traditional.
Some schools need the flashy uniforms to help with recruiting and to draw attention.
Some do not.
Keep trying with that assumption. Not all uniform changes or choices are based on what a 16 yr old will think.
What is laughable is, NFL teams change it up all the time and no one says anything. College team keeps the same Uni for 30 years and then changes, people act like your murdered someone.
I know more than one Bama fan here in Mobile that would like some flash here or there, but they are less than 35 years old.
I agree with Smith here. When Oregon started this trend a few years back, they didn't hide the fact it was all about recruiting. That and $ from the Nike.
Most NFL teams do the retro uniform change and that's why we don't here as much. When it is not retro I imagine the city is all talk about how the uni changed.

I think the recruiting is a red herring. Its $$$ from Nike and comes down to merchandise sales. When a kid is in Footlocker or Champs, they are going to buy the flashy stuff.
Big teams sell good regardless, Im not disputing that because I buy all kinds of FSU stuff regardless of how boring or flashy it is, but they already have my business and they want more.
Like how you see a kid in 49ers QB wearing a Dolphins hat because it looks cool, not because he is a fan. I think it is about moving out of selling to the college fan base only. Lets face it, ath departments are run like a business with Nike and Under Armour's fingers in everything. All that being said, if done right and used right, I like some flash once or twice a year.
People thought maybe our garnet and black uni's would come out against Notre Dame, but I highly doubt it. Fisher has said that the last thing you want to do is make a serious opponent feel special by bringing out uniforms only for them (See UGA and Bama).

I am sure there are some that would prefer a flashier look, I would also wager that the vast majority of Bama fans (and other teams with the traditional look) would rather they stay as is.
I have never been a fan of flashy, I prefer a more conservative understated look.
I imagine those traditional uniforms will stay as such for quite some time.
