re: Purple Jerseys against Bama

Why not, we keep changing our traditional jerseys every week now

No we don't. We sure won't wear any strange uniform vs. Alabama, out key rival.

I personally hope to never see another uniform as noxious as that monstrosity we wore against Miss. State. Those jerseys were horrible.

they do as much as the current jersey technology will allow and are actually closer to that now than they've been in years

No

No one except hard core traditionalists complained about the purple jerseys during the Arnsparger Era and the first two years of Mike Archer. As long as the Tigers were winning those uniforms looked fine.

When the football fortunes went south in 1989, and until 1994, it was the jerseys, and not the coaching and overall lack of talent, that received the brunt of disapproval. That's why to this very day there's so much resistance to making the gold/purple/gold scheme the default home uniform. That uniform, is to many, just the physical representation of a period of frustration and failure.

This photo shows both his insane cutting ability, and his MASSIVE legs. He was maybe 200 lbs, but had the legs of a nose tackle. I garauntee #98 from Bama was about to get whiplash.

if we're being honest, it looks like he's being tackled by #97 in that picture

I'd say #97 has a hand high on his shoulder from behind, with little leverage. Maybe he got him, but it's probably more likely that Dalton planted that right leg and exploded through the grip, while spinning counterclockwise to stay upright.

That's pretty much how he ran 95% of his runs

He'd never beat anyone in a straightline sprint, but he could run through an area no wider than a hallway, with defenders everywhere, look like he's made out of jelly, and get through.

There are times Guice looks a lot like Hilliard did. Maybe a little more angry runner, not quite as fluid, and not quite the leg strength serving as the base.

Oh hell no.

I've gone back and forth on this. In the end I can honestly say I don't care what they wear, as long as it's not some fancy Oregon reflective helmets and fancy color scheme.

The gold/purple/gold looks really badass tho. Then again, so does the white jersey.

This.


And white jerseys at home vs SEC.

The good guys wear white.
