The cool thing about seeing those helmets on Gameday was how deep the purple was and how Gold it was when the light hit it. It was crazy to see the colors contrast that much. Those helmets are pretty cool.

if you believe everything is about advertising, you’re dead wrong. Nike is in the business to make money. And they make millions off of LSU.

A lot of helmets, but I did not go back and look, but I thought is said it took four coats for each one. Now you can still paint a lot of helmets with a gallon of paint

I couldn't play golf this morning. I have to have something to do.

I don't like what they're doing to golf, either. But that's another matter.

Yeah looking around I saw that it takes about a gallon to paint a medium sized car, so this wasn't even $10000 worth to paint the helmets.
