Clemson - Took Auburn's colors and mascot
Clemson's colors are Orange and Purple, not Orange and Blue.

How do people still fight this? It literally was on clemsons website

clemson had a coach come from Auburn and he brought practice jerseys with him. The jerseys faded from dark blue to purple and thus, the worst color combo in college football was born

Not sure but I think Hotty Toddy is based off some old chant also. I remember a scene in Band of Brothers where they were marching to that older chant or song. Not sure what the name of the old chant is though. I read about it but I forgot and I’m too lazy to look it up right now.


Oh yeah when they are marching up the mountain. I never realized that but it is the same cadence

UT Martin ripped off Auburn as hard as I've ever seen.

Those uniforms look so good that they look better than Auburn's

LSU’s band has been playing Tiger Rag since 1926, which was 9 years after the song was written in New Orleans. Clemson didn’t begin to use the song until 1942.

UCF’s claim of the 2017 natty is a rip-off of aggy a&m’s tradition of claiming fake nattys and conference championships.

No but I was wondering when Alabama was going to try and shove an elephant off the upper deck and see if it could fly like dumbo. I did like Tua’s house sitting house the REC gave his parents. Looked real good on national TV.

Whenever I see your posts, I think you are like the Mississippi version of Hank Hill.

UT was ripped off by some school in the middle of Texas. They even copied our school colors.

Wrong.

Tennessee’s colors had their origins in 1891 but weren’t put on jerseys until 1922.

The University of Texas started using orange and white in 1885 and began using the colors on all athletics uniforms in 1900.

Michigan stole the “block M” logo from Mizzou

Michigan’s block M started showing up on uniforms in 1891.
LINK

As you can see here, Missouri’s first team in 1890 used “MSU” on their uniforms, as did the 1893 team.

This article states Missouri started using the block M on its helmet in 1961.

This picture of the 1960 Missouri team doesn’t show a block M anywhere, helmet or shirt.
