its not mystique, its a tradition now.

who the frick ever said that wearing white helps us win?




When a coach petitions the NCAA for restoring a tradition (you're right about that), and then weaves that with "bringing back the Magic," folks could consider confusing the words of Magic and Mystique.

Traditions become what they are because they do, in fact provide a mystique, then therefore a 'want' to keep doing it because we won an important game with that particular tradition.

Night games are a tradition at LSU, but have become a mystique (or whatever word you want to use) because we tend to play much, much better.


ETA.....if we'd ever play night games again.

Not NO! But, HELL NEAUX!!! White jerseys go back to the 40's and 50's!! Ever hear of a thing called tradition. Tigers are one of only 2 teams that wear light colored jerseys at home!!!

Tradition? Do tell more!!!! Oh WOW!


NBC has Traditionally aired ND vs. the Military Academies due to a sorry-arse contract...>Where's that getting them?

If you stuck to tradition all the time, you'd still have goalposts, on the goal line. It's 2012.


ETA...still want those Night Games as a tradition. Just a small rebuttal.

JJ loved the purple Jerseys also, and told Miles he would never play to his potential until Miles stopped making him wear the white ones

Dont make any mistake, it wasnt the jerseys that made us lose.... Those coaches were horrible, we could have wore anything and still got killed every game!!

This. I'm all in for bringing back the purple for all the home games except homecoming.
