Auburn Vs Oregon

Auburn Vs Oregon, (AP) – The latest weapon in the game of recruiting can be found in the closet. Critics may dismiss the wide range of uniforms and helmets Oregon burnt-orange Virginia Tech broke the Orange Bowl as gimmicky marketing – Do not let your collection is incomplete! Get the latest must-have “swimsuit! – Designed to extract money from loyal fans. But several jerseys and gloves, helmets and cleats that go with them, are powerful attractive to players.

“Being the University of Nike, in essence, we get a lot of cool stuff. A lot of new things all the time. It really is a recruitment tool, “Oregon receiver Jeff Maehl said.” When I climbed on a recruiting trip, I was shown all the different jerseys and said the 100 uniform combinations. ”

Resident fashionistas College football is about to add one more to the composition, debuting another new look for the game Monday night’s BCS title against top-ranked Auburn.

“It’s nice to know you’re in for a surprise every week,” Oregon receiver Josh Huff said.

For years, football uniforms were pretty standard. Baggy pants fabric yielded to spandex equipped, and some schools would add impetus to their shirts here and there. Notre Dame broke even – gasp! – Swimwear green on occasion. But a fashion revolution like what the Fab Five did for basketball? This does not happen.

Then came the Ducks.

“We used Oregon as a test pilot for a large number of innovations and a large number of mix-and-match (uniforms), said Todd Van Horne, Creative Director World Football Nike.

Just as it did with clothes in other sports, Nike has improved the functionality of their uniforms over the years by making them more lightweight and breathable, which reduces the amount of material used and padding by adding the structure itself. It has improved the technology on its way mitts.

“Hear the voice of the athlete” is our principle, “said Van Horne.” They want innovation. … They want lighter, they want more flexibility, they want more breathable, they want great fitting shirts, but are not binding. ”

But players want to look good, too, and have a primary color jersey for home games and white for the road is so 1990s – 1980s and 70s, too, for that matter.

“I feel like our tradition is the unexpected,” Oregon linebacker Spencer Paysinger said. “It’s our tradition to mix and shock the nation.”

Oh, the shock of the nation the Ducks did when they unveiled their “struggle against highlighter” uniforms in the opener of the 2003 season. Temporarily blinded some fans, too, with Day-Glo yellow jerseys and pants so bright that ‘they could be seen clearly SEC country.

And that was just the beginning. Since 2006, Nike deployed four different uniforms for Oregon, giving the Ducks nearly 400 possible combinations when considering the various jerseys, pants, helmets, socks and shoes. As if this were not bold enough, the numbers on the jerseys were futuristic funky – think “Rollerball” – and the reasons for diamonds on the shoulders and knees gave uniforms a moth-eaten look.

Wings on his shoulders have replaced the diamond, but the Ducks are still setting fashion trends. Over the past two years, they wore green jerseys, black sweaters, shirts yellow, white jerseys with silver numbers and trim, white jerseys with green trim, silver pants, black pants and green pants.

Got all that? Good, because for Monday’s game against the Auburn BCS, No. 2 Oregon has yet another twists, it’s all in white, called “Stormtrooper” look. Figures have neon yellow piping around them, and matching studded neon-shaded and socks that are designed to make players’ feet a blur as they downfield dart.

“I love them,” said Paysinger. “They will make us look quickly on the ground. As it gets darker in the day, the color starts glowing.”

As those who have been around teenagers knows – the children of any age, really – what a person has from the others want.

Asked about the uniforms of Oregon, defensive tackle Auburn All-American Nick Fairley eyes brightened. Not only is he a little jealous of the Ducks missed; there is a drop in particular he loves.

“I love everything they have in black with black helmets,” said Fairley.

Schools have seen several other flashy patterns of Oregon, the more they have claimed for their own unique looks. Maybe not the same degree the Ducks, but options.

Ohio State, Oregon State, Alabama, Boise State, Florida, Miami, Pitt, West Virginia, Virginia Tech and TCU all wore uniforms specially designed for a game this year. TCU updated his uniform for the Rose Bowl, his first appearance BCS, and Florida and Boise State got a new look for the bowl games, too.

“Kids today, they are impressionable. They love this stuff; they like to be on the cutting edge, “Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said. “This is something that is important to our children today, we also saw it as a recruiting opportunity to show we are innovative, we are creative and we can do things differently.”

For the second consecutive year, Ohio State was wearing a survival suit for its game against Michigan. Honor this year’s team in 1942, the first Ohio State win a national title, and as simple scarlet jerseys with gray trim around the sleeves and helmets scarlet.

Merchandise sales benefited from Memorial University, of course, but Smith said the revenue generated by the add-ons was not huge. ” The real point was to strengthen the link between the Buckeyes and their fans.

“To be able to demonstrate, not only for our football team but to our Ohio community and our community Columbus a reminder of what they did – because they were playing football and went to war – to get them back on the stand, to promote and remind people what these people sacrificed … It was very moving, “said Smith.” It was very exciting for our fans. It was very emotional for our players. It was very emotional for these guys themselves. ”

And he made Ohio a player in the game of fashion this year.

Alabama Football, San Jose Taste of Alabama Football Today they say that football passion of religion in Alabama, but not in every house of worship. John Dees is the pastor of Crosspoint Church in Madison, Alabama Auburn also played running back in 1970? S.

“I never criticize other schools in the podium – not me,” he said. But many pastors do. ”

– San Jose will experience the passion of Alabama football first hand when faced with a multitude Crimson Tide today number 101 821 sold-out Bryant-Denny Stadium.

This is the second largest crowd to attend the games with San Jose State, on Ohio 104 892 eight years ago.

“You can go to the Alabama game, do not sit all the time,” said former 49ers running back Glen Coffee, who played for the Crimson Tide. “It’s a different atmosphere, a different environment. There is a reason why they say that in Alabama, is worse fumble the ball, leaving the child.”

A few fans in attendance today have their bodies covered in tattoos Alabama football theme.

Some of them wore T-shirts adorned with the words: “We love San Nicol?s”, a reference to coach Nick Saban.

And all of them – except for a small contingent of fans SJSU – will have much more than an interest in the perpetuation of Crimson Tide.

“I would not say this is the true definition of religion: People do not worship or pray to the Alabama Cup,” said Ken Gaddy, director of the Bear Bryant Museum, located a few blocks from the stadium. “But it’s an obsession.”

This obsession has its origin in the laws of supply and demand – there are no professional sports teams in Alabama, to share our faith, “said Gaddy – and it was almost a hundred years in the making.

Football in the South largely retrospective came to Alabama in 1926 Rose Bowl, beating Washington 20-19 to finish the season undefeated. (Big Ten was not involved in the container until 1940? S.) Crimson Tide returned to Pasadena four times over the next 12 years, with each point of view of the main stage of the game increased the interest in the sport across the region .

The second stage in the development of football in Alabama began in 1958 when Bryant left Texas A & M to return to his alma mater. Three years later, Bryant won the first of its six national championships in Tuscaloosa.

The time could not be better for the state in dire need of entertainment.

“In an era of civil rights, there was little positive in the south,” said Gaddy. Alabama football to fill the niche. It gave people something to feel good. ”

Continued support of Alabama and author John Warren spent the following season RV people drive in every game Crimson Tide across the South. He wrote about a few who missed the wedding of his daughter because she had the audacity to schedule a day of Tennessee played Alabama. They boasted that they had at least arrived in time for the reception.

“I think because I live here, which is not entirely shock me,” said the pastor, Dees, who was familiar with the story described in the book. “When couples get married they call me, I advise you to exercise caution when planning a wedding for some time.”

John found a fan who had a memorable collection of red tide and is estimated at 200,000.

Another lost a game, although it was awaiting heart transplant and was not supposed to go more than two hours at the hospital in Nashville. Life, he says, not worth living without football Alabama. (He received a transplant, but died due to complications.)

The day before launch, can not be 500 mobile homes stationed near Bryant-Denny Stadium – many decorated with the colors of the grip of Alabama.

But even for those obsessive fans who do not wear their hearts on the wheels, the life of a lot of stops in the state of Alabama in college football on Saturdays. Mobile Register newspaper poll, St. John wrote, showed that 90 percent of people in the state call themselves college football fans.

“Everybody plays soccer – women want to play football at Alabama, freshman, defender Darren Daniel said Stanford, who from the city of Phoenix, Ala.” It feels like you must be a football player. ”

Obsessed as they are, are not hostile Alabama fans against the team or the fans. The old Southern hospitality will be waiting to San Jose State travel party.

“People will be friendly,” Gaddy said. “If you need directions if you want the mustard, there is always someone to help.”

Of course, if you are fond of Auburn.

Six other players – Shaun Draughn up congestion and safety Ryan Houston Brian Gupton, Da’Norris Searcy and Smith and defensive end Jonathan Linwan Euwell – held on the sidelines during the investigation.

North Carolina also reported three other players – linebackers Quan Sturdivant and Carter and Bruce Williams Deunta security – did not go with the team that the school met with the NCAA in your state. Sturdivant and Carter were cleared later and went to Atlanta on Friday night. But Williams stayed away because he wanted to NCAA for more information before making a decision on his status.

“We are disappointed by the choice of players have been denied the opportunity to participate in the contest with his teammates and the University of North Carolina, coach Butch Davis said in a statement.” Our coaches and players a big problem this weekend, and despite these circumstances, our staff will be happy to meet LSU. ”

It is unclear how many games Quinn, McAdoo, Bernie, Brown, Little and Austin will be missed. Advertise a blow to the program, which entered the fourth season of Davis in a position to fight for the championship of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The optimism built since January, when Austin, Little, Bernie, Sturdivant, Carter and Williams announced his return to school for his senior year rather than enter the NFL draft.

Few major recipient of the team and the rest have joined this group Quinn – Jr., who is considered high in the first round to select – on defense, which returned nine starters from the unit, which is among the best last season in the country.

Davis was suspended indefinitely for violating environmental standards Austin team.

“We continue working with staff, the National Council to address these issues of admissibility,” said athletic director Dick Baddour said in a statement. “NCAA focuses on each situation case by case basis. Together we are working to determine his status as a thorough and fair process possible.”

There was a similar research-related staff in the National Council of Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina, with links to the South Beach attended by players from several schools this year. Gamecocks have suspended tight end Wesley Saunders for violation of rules related to the commands for the Crimson Tide defensive end Marcel Dareus was excluded for two matches for drinking and about 2,000 in improper benefits during two visits Miami.

North Carolina is one of the 42 states and the federal government, which has laws governing contacts between sports agents and college athletes. The state requires agents to register and prohibited from offering gifts to sign the contract. Violations can result in criminal or civil liability.

In July, Marshall’s office sent a letter to over 100 agents registered with the state, you are notified that the investigation and instructed not to destroy the records. Then said his office can not punish the athletes, but he planned to speak with them about their behavior and interaction with agents.
