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. Oh drat.

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.

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.

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).

No one has ever tried that before.
Well, no one has ever tried it and been successful.
