how weird is it that there are like 3 teams in the FBS that have nearly identical weird as hell color schemes to my color-blind rear end (Clemons, Syracuse and Illinois)

I thought it was universally agreed that Tennessee had the worst shade of orange.

And on that note, Auburn is going to attempt to stripe the stadium alternating sections of orange and blue for the Ole Miss game this year. Wonder how well that will work out.

Maybe because it's just a plain university jacket and not affiliated with athletics. He said the purple wasn't as popular in the 60s and it changed a lot in the 80s.

Tennessee's orange is really ugly on its own but actually looks great in a checkerboard or other situations where it's with lots of white.

I don't have a speck of orange in my wardrobe and it's probably at least partially motivated by Clemson, but it's also just a real bad color in general. Texas' burnt shade is the only one I come close to liking.

Baylor released their post-spring depth chart today.



No huge surprises - Seth Russell is the official starter at QB, but that's been expected for months. I will say that between this and general insider reports, there's a bunch of young guys all over the defense who seem to have been making major strides and vying for some quality minutes - which is exactly what I was hoping to see, especially in the secondary. Seeing Tion Wright listed as a co-starter with a not-terrible veteran starter DB in Ryan Reid seems like a good sign to me, with some of things I've heard about our secondary getting gassed or playing through injury because we didn't feel comfortable playing the guys behind them too much. I also really like the Jefferson/Zamora/Coleman trio at kick returns - that's some speed. Offensively the skill positions will be absurd and the left side of the line will be pretty formidable. Won't be a bad place to groom a new QB, that's for sure. I also kind of want us to run power some with some two-tight end sets featuring Armstead and McGowan - that's going to be just a wall of muscle.

It looks good but under very rare occasions, like the lining on a Detroit Tigers logo, or the Astros old dope jerseys, or uh, okay I don't know anything outside of sports apparently. A sunset, that involves orange right?

These are actually the only 2 helmet concepts I really like from Empire. The orange ones would look good with UT's white jerseys; the alternate grey ones would look nice with the orange jerseys.
