first not sure if it's new but the whole time i was watching the wvu game leadin up to the storm they kept talking about lighting strikes withing 6 miles, from now on if there is a lighting strike within six miles of a stadioum game is postponed for 30 minutes minimum. the rule seems a bit over kill, and the worst part is they haven't really figured out what to do when the game is postponed. when the wvu game was stopped they had everyone huddled in the tunnles just waiting. then the two schools AD's have to get together and decide if they want to call it. it's def somthing that needs to be addressed asap.

now as far as md's uni's they are complete crap and very distracting, somthing tells me they will change, i hope these were just a one time deal. and as for no name on the back i couldn't disagree with you more. in college football the players change every year and i like having the names on the back so it's easier to identify a player. georgia did somthing even more annoying imo though by putting georgia on everyones name plate, that was even worse than the no name.

Wait! What? You are joking right?


My buddy works at Under Armor and they have been getting slammed all day about complaints about the uniforms.

I mean honestly, how does something like that get past the idea phase?

Unless they were trying to win an ugliest uniform contest, it's a complete fail.

Yeah, what was weird is they kept saying 7 miles away, then changed it to 6 but would also say 6.75 or something..... Then they said the storm was continuing its path North West but that the stadium was south of the storm. Then they cut the game off. They definitely need to do something about coming up with a better way of handling it. I was watching on espn3 (its officially crunch time for the whole no cable thing) which made it even harder to figure out what was going on.

It is hard as hell to keep up with players when their names arnt on the jerseys in college, but I still prefer it.

At first I didn't like the new Maryland uniforms, but they've grown on me. I think moreso that there are a lot of people who don't like them than anything else. I think if you take the helmet out of the equation, the uniform is quite sharp. I like the fact that they are completely different and UA thought outside the box on them. And quite honestly, I like them better than what Nike puts Oregon in...

With that said, Edsall said the captains decide on the uniform combinations each week, but that he made the decision last night. UA and the AD got what they wanted. National attention to the football program. Everyone has been talking about them, and I'm pretty sure you'll have a select few who tune in just to see what they're wearing next.

I was more impressed with the players wearing the uniforms than the uniforms themselves. Even with Miami missing 8 players, their depth is much stronger than what Maryland can put on the field. Edsall has the Maryland players believing in themselves and that they can beat anyone. Danny O'Brien turned a lot of heads with his performance. If he can cut out the mental errors, he could be a darkhorse Heisman candidate in the next 2 years.

If they wanted publicity mission accomplished. But still, they are fugly. The helmet is a hot mess.

There should be some job vacancies on their.....fashion team today..

I was there last night and when they came out in those (they warmed up in the all white unis that were introduced a few weeks ago) the crowd, especially the student section, when nuts. The players have said they liked them a lot, both the look and the way they actually felt which is great because the weather was miserable.

So if the student section loved them, the players were proud of them, and a good portion of the country is talking about them, I think they were a big win.

Are the Terps' new helmets too much like to those by Charm City Roller Girls? - baltimoresun.com

Exactly right. Every sports media outlet spent time talking about the University of Maryland yesterday. That hasn't really happened since the basketball team won it all in 2002. UnderArmour is getting bigger and bigger, and this partnership is going to really boost that program. I think Edsall is a great coach, too. Big name recruits are going to start noticing this program soon if they haven't already. I'm a Florida Gator till the day I die, but I like seeing local teams do well.
