My wife rips me all time!! I never match or coordinate. She tells me - "Accessorizing & coordinating spells Success!!!" I guess she's right - according to this post.

Hey look, if you don't want to confront the problems that are at the heart of our struggles, then go ahead and keep your head in the sand.jmvcougar wrote:Ah yes totally! No offense kittic cause i like you and all, and I'm sure you're in your only little way joking but this has to be one of the lamest threads I've clicked on to in some time.... But you got people commenting on it so that's gotta be worth something! And in all honesty this topic probably beats out any of the Jake vs Riley threads.

Ok - changing subject a little, but as long as we're talking about watching on TV - did anyone else notice that the ESPN announcers were even worse than those on the mtn? They were terrible! Didn't know names, or usually even who had the ball.

Welcome back to ESPN, this has long been the calling card of non-BCS games on ESPN. They simply don't care.IowaCougar wrote:Ok - changing subject a little, but as long as we're talking about watching on TV - did anyone else notice that the ESPN announcers were even worse than those on the mtn?

Re: The real issue we're not talking about!
This has got to be THE issue. Of course receivers are dropping balls because they are too embarassed that their helmets don't match their uniforms. That kind of thing plays with your head. Likewise for the defense. If they make a tackle, then the cameras will zoom in on them and expose their mismatching uniforms. So, they flail on the ground rather than wrap up and take down the offense.kitic77 wrote:Hey look, if you don't want to confront the problems that are at the heart of our struggles, then go ahead and keep your head in the sand.jmvcougar wrote:Ah yes totally!

I am glad you were brave enough to bring up what everyone else was too scared to mention, Kitic. Good job by you.

Ha! Yes I know it was a bit much but I can't help myself. I am a perfectionist advertising guy with ADD. I have to know the psychological effect of colors and there combinations as well as how the colors react under varying conditions. Also I am a believer in "you play how you look." Just ask Jerry Rice, Enzo Ferrari, and Ronald Reagan (if he were still around).Cougy_Monster wrote:That is by far the most in depth analysis of uniform colors I've ever read. I have no idea if it's correct but it sounds great.

Well, no one has ever tried it and been successful.CougarPeasant wrote:Or BYU could go back to royal blue, change their field to match the color of their uniforms and switch to royal blue helmuts.
No one has ever tried that before.
