Why not the Bama game?

References to 2008 mean nothing.

it's just not smart.

I've posted about this before. There's 2 things that could happen if we wear black for bama.

1) We win. Great! We've "exercised the demons". It will be forgotten by the rest of the country in a few weeks.

2) We lose. We will never, ever.......EVER hear the end of it. It will be brought up for decades.

The rewards simply don't outweigh the risks. It has nothing to do with being "scared" or anything like that...it's just not logical from a risk standpoint. And this isn't even taking into account the fact that jersey color doesn't matter for performance. We lost in 08 because they were a much better football team. What if they're a much better football team than us this year? There is really just no need to wear black for bama.

Agreed it would underscore any advantage, we might hold.

No way were they talent wise, but they had superior coaching and vastly supperior S&C programs in place.

I think (hope) all those gaps have closed between the programs now and we won't need a gimmicky mouse in our pocket the next time we see the elephants.

That team absolutely kicked our arse up and down both lines of scrimmage all night. Freshman Ben Jones got abused by Terrance Cody on every snap, and Andre Smith caved in half of the defensive line.

Yea those abominations don't count. The black jerseys from 07/08 were glorious and we are 2-1 in them.

This is what I mean. All this analysis and superstition over jersey colors. You've already lost when you start breaking it down like that.

They look cool and get the fans fired up. Thinking too hard about it is just not worth it.

"We'll never hear the end of it."

Only if we make a big deal out of it. Just don't say a damn thing and show up wearing them. Nobody bats an eye when other teams wear alternate uniforms...

That's because those "other teams" have zero tradition...

The alternative uniforms just gives the opposing team even more motivation to beat you. You don't think that Bama got an extra kick out of creaming us while we were wearing those black uniforms?? It acts like reverse motivation for the other team.

Damn Seth Emerson always got to rain on our parade with your logic and crap. Oh well, unless McGarity is lying to keep it a secret...

you really think the opponent wearing an alternate jersey gives extra motivation for winning a game? So a team shows up and kinda wants to win, goes through the motion a bit. But then their opponent comes out in a different colored jersey and now they really wanna win! Think all that talk is over rated.

using tradition as an excuse for not doing something is in of the more BS excuses out there.

There's no such thing as tradition. It's a figment of imagination.
