Tennessee's diversity office put out a thing last week suggesting (again: suggesting) that UT profs use gender-neutral pronouns or ask students what they prefer to use. The hot-taking tweetstorm from fans and beat writers was...unfortunate.

I think it's all ranked teams that are facing FBS opponents.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.

Weird, can't find anything about it and none of the 5 local hacks are talking about it.

Also, UCLA will not release a depth chart this week and UVA has responded in kind by withholding theirs.

I can't tell. My coach says a max of 10 words whenever a mic is put in front of him and it's all nothing of answers. Not even coach speak. He's done this since he was hired, so no change there.

Only one of our scrimmages and a couple practices were open to the public and media this year, which was a pretty big change (usually the first week of camp is open and the first couple scrimmages are, too). This team was already an enigma, but the lack of any substantive reporting during the past month makes it even more difficult to tell what's going on. I suppose that was the point, but yeah.

I actually think those are about as nice as orange lids get for us. The maroon facemask is nice (glad it isn't chrome or metallic), provided we don't go orange popsicle about it I think they'll look good with an all maroon uni.

But they could equally be too much orange if we get decked out in orange tops/pants.

More importantly we are also wearing a sticker on them honoring the news shooting victims with their station # and ribbons for each.

Orange is a terrible, terrible color. Not just in uniforms, everywhere. Nobody wears it well and it's bad for everything and everyone. If our species got together and found a way to breed out the ability to even see the color on the spectrum it would be the greatest advancement in the history of mankind.

SC will be doing something similar for the Emanuel 9. Not sure who designed the logo (it's been used everywhere lately), but it is fantastic.

Probably local design giant Jay Fletcher (if I had to guess).

Flat orange is far less offensive than a stock metallic color that adorned automotive icons such as the Pontiac Aztek.

I'm not even sure why we're not releasing our depth chart, it would take anyone like 15 minutes to make it from scratch given the fact that we have almost the entire team from last year returning and Rosen's been named the starter. I can't think of more than like 2 positions where it's not obvious who we'll start.

I love the color orange, but it is best used as an accent color. I really only want to see it on our uniforms as trim or numbers or helmets at most. I really want to see more maroon jersey's this year than orange (I hate seeing us play in orange uniform components it never seems to go well).

I can't argue that anyone's orange uniforms look any good tho. Excepting my soft spot for my 2nd alma mater the Vols. But anyone that didn't go to Tenn hates that anyway so whatever always alone in my love of orange.
