re: How "lucky" was 1998 Tennessee?

They started the pants call back up a few years ago. NCAA wanted the issue dealt with and so refs called it every now and then for like a season and then forgot about it. Of course, we're talking about when pants were becoming dangerously close to cycling shorts for some and really I think equipment suppliers like Nike and Adidas were as to blame as some of the player choices to wear a size or 3 too small as opposed to 98 when that wasn't really much of an issue.
