seriously...?

ok, let me just say FIRST that i have GREAT RESPECT for our troops. I DO. often i feel like i'm more on their side than their own current commander in chief.

BUT, i'm here watching the Army vs. Navy football game and army is wearing CAMOUFLAGE UNIFORMS. like the camo they wear out in the desert. NOW, i do understand the reason why they would wear that, you know, probably a nod to the alumni and current troops there...and a nod to the idea that they might be going too. but, come on. they look like a team from that poorly devised XFL with those cartoon like uniforms.

The Army vs. Navy game is one of the more revered rivalries in college football, does Army really need to cheapen it with gimmicky uniforms? what's wrong with their school colors? there's a LOT of honor and respect tied to those colors. but CAMO?

it's just sad.

In other news, USC and UCLA will be reviving an old custom of BOTH teams wearing HOME jerseys in their rivalry meeting today at the Rose Bowl. Some people see it as a sign of disrespect to UCLA (since THEY are the ones who currently play their home games at the Rose Bowl), but those people probably don't follow history very well since I believe that, until the early 80's, both teams wore their home jerseys when they played each other. honestly, i think it makes the game more fun. BOTH teams wearing HOME jerseys? it kinda makes it feel like LA is up for grabs, and the winner takes it all! both teams claim LA but only one gets the bragging rights at the end. seems rad to me.

well, all we can hope for is that Florida stomps 'Bama, Missouri beats Oklahoma, and then, if all the stars align, MAYBE USC will get a title game nod.

...and, as always, we pray that UW can pull off just ONE win this season. but, against a once ranked CAL...it doesn't look too good. winless this season? (sigh)
