Yeah I dunno about those unis...they look weird. Oh well, as long as they win, I don't care what they wear. Go Terps!

Wait! What? You are joking right?


My buddy works at Under Armor and they have been getting slammed all day about complaints about the uniforms.

I mean honestly, how does something like that get past the idea phase?

Unless they were trying to win an ugliest uniform contest, it's a complete fail.

At first I didn't like the new Maryland uniforms, but they've grown on me. I think moreso that there are a lot of people who don't like them than anything else. I think if you take the helmet out of the equation, the uniform is quite sharp. I like the fact that they are completely different and UA thought outside the box on them. And quite honestly, I like them better than what Nike puts Oregon in...

With that said, Edsall said the captains decide on the uniform combinations each week, but that he made the decision last night. UA and the AD got what they wanted. National attention to the football program. Everyone has been talking about them, and I'm pretty sure you'll have a select few who tune in just to see what they're wearing next.

I was more impressed with the players wearing the uniforms than the uniforms themselves. Even with Miami missing 8 players, their depth is much stronger than what Maryland can put on the field. Edsall has the Maryland players believing in themselves and that they can beat anyone. Danny O'Brien turned a lot of heads with his performance. If he can cut out the mental errors, he could be a darkhorse Heisman candidate in the next 2 years.

If they wanted publicity mission accomplished. But still, they are fugly. The helmet is a hot mess.

I was there last night and when they came out in those (they warmed up in the all white unis that were introduced a few weeks ago) the crowd, especially the student section, when nuts. The players have said they liked them a lot, both the look and the way they actually felt which is great because the weather was miserable.

So if the student section loved them, the players were proud of them, and a good portion of the country is talking about them, I think they were a big win.

Exactly right. Every sports media outlet spent time talking about the University of Maryland yesterday. That hasn't really happened since the basketball team won it all in 2002. UnderArmour is getting bigger and bigger, and this partnership is going to really boost that program. I think Edsall is a great coach, too. Big name recruits are going to start noticing this program soon if they haven't already. I'm a Florida Gator till the day I die, but I like seeing local teams do well.

Frikkin' awesome games today.

I flipped back and forth between Auburn-MS State and Iowa-Iowa State. The Auburn game came up a yard short of overtime. The Iowa State game was won in triple OT.

Then I watched Virginia-Indiana. Indiana came back from 20 points down just to see Virginia score 11 points in the last minute for the win. Awesome.

Then Michigan and Notre Dame scored three TD's in the last 1:12. Unbelievable.

I know that there were other good games. These are just a sampling from my tv.

Football is an amazing sport. Thank God it's autumn!
