What is the rationale for schools getting special uniforms for bullshit bowl games again? I might have missed a memo or two

blogs may give them publove?

These remind me of Bruce Smith for some reason. I don’t think their uniform looked anything like this when he was there but it seems like it should have.

Big fan of the matte helmet trend, though these are underwhelming.

Can’t wait for the Penn State matte white bowl helmets in 2032

I kind of expect the VT bashin from JMac, but I’m a little surprised this is more than a blip on Ty’s radar…meh, I’m just glad people are still talking about VT after this season instead of trying to send us to the Big East.

Seriously Duffy, you bitching about everything related to college football is really getting old.

Whatevs, yo. This is what Duffy seems to do more often than not. It’s almost as if CFB is the abusive husband to Duffy, but he just keeps coming back. He can quit it, but he can sure bitch about it on the reg.

But making the same complaints in each Duffy thread is exciting and fresh while clearly making an impact

I never said they were. They are equivalent.

Not like he can start praising or celebrating college FB. Duffy’s pigeonholed himself.

*not making a judgment on the actual process just found it interesting that the interpretation is different between countries

Off Topic, but check out this HSBC drug laundering story and the lack of prosecution. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/taibblog/outrageous-hsbc-settlement-proves-the-drug-war-is-a-joke-20121213

I will read that in a few, looks good. A different pissed off approach I had seen last week in The Independent was fury over the fact that the US was fining HSBC, Standard Chartered, and Barclays but won’t do the same to domestic banks. While the anger here is “we won’t really punish them” over there it’s “you won’t even nominally punish your own, just go after London banks.”

It sums up these helmets perfectly, though. Hardly ugly enough to dislike, but not cool enough to care about. They’re just kind of…there.

Somewhere, David Simon has read this and is either off having a knowing laugh at this or he’s punching a wall. I doubt there is any in between there.

Last week I was editing a third circuit brief that involved a corporation whom the writer decided to shorten as “MEH” for the entirety. I refused to be drawn into the argument because they would have thought I was crazy, but writing a persuasive brief and using the horrid word associated with a dickish disinterested shoulder shrug seems like a horrible idea to me.
