If I am Jeff Traylor, I would stay because what if UTSA runs the table and goes undefeated in the AAC next year?  Then they are likely in the expanded CFP.  

His pay would increase substantially, that and the possibility of rebuilding the Wrecking Crew is enough. He's also from Gilmer, so he's closer to home.

Meyer yes, Harbaugh.....no.  I get the feeling that he wants to get revenge on his brother in the NFL.  

I'd say that as well. The pundits already looking at Lane Kiffin, and to me that makes the least amount of sense. Mississippi is dysfunctional enough , why go to College Station? Jeff Traylor at UTSA is also on the Athletic's coaching shortlist. It's a great move for him, but I don't know if the Aggies donors will want him. 

Meyer obviously isn't on the list, and I think he needs to stay away from the sidelines permanently anyways. He might be able to waive his hand and get the players he'd want but I can't see him surviving coaching against Saban every year. And I mean literally surviving.

My guess is that they did it to provide a better contrast against the road team's white jersey.  There was never any way that tOSU was going to let a visiting team wear home colors in the shoe.

 

You're right, though, that the promo images looked like a lighter shade of gray...

 

 

I was mildly surprised by how much contrast there was, compared to the. "grey wolf" uniforms vs Penn State. That's probably why the grey was darker. Personally, I've always wanted a darker pair of pants than what they traditionally wear and I'd love if they kept these over the regular britches.

That cheap dump is beyond help.

 

I don't think the NFL would give up on Charlotte, but they gave up on San Diego, a market with a longer track record of NFL success and an objectively superior city, so who's to say.

The NFL would require a new stadium, similar to what was shown near the river. I also don't see a reason to move a team just because they have crappy owners. If that were the case the NFL would have teams in new locations every year.

Is this the most anybody’s been paid not to do their job ever?

It's going to be closer to $200 million, because whoever comes in will or want close to what Jimbo got. How long until they say Harbaugh or Meyer should be considered? 

Jimbo Fisher is reportedly getting fired after beating up Mississippi State. I love the fact that A&M paid twice as much for Kevin Sumlin's replacement and got zero improvement from it.

 You could just consider having James Franklin as your (apparently) forever coach to be a pretty significant punishment.   

If there was any game Franklin needed to trust his players more, this and Ohio State this year were the games. Franklin is Jimbo Fisher (the Texas A&M version) without a national title. He'll get a "program defining" bowl win and only win the games they're supposed to win.

I don’t see how any of these talking heads can say Ohio State hasn’t passed the eye test and then praise Florida State.

The problem is Miami is better than their record, same for Clemson, but coaching has hurt them more than bad play this year.

Liga MX teams supplied by Charley will wear uniforms based on the Call of Duty games.

Add in the "Lets play a game to celebrate Messi" friendly between NYCFC and Miami next weekend

Why are they doing this? So someone can charge $500 a seat? I know the China deal feel through, but if I was a regular starter for NYCFC I'd be pissed to be doing this instead of enjoying my offseason.

I think he means the use of two grays by Ohio State relative to the use two grays by the Lions.

I think the big problem here is that the Lions jersey is supposed to be silver, but unless you mix in some sparkly materials it will always just look grey.  The grey colors are the same for Ohio State, the difference is that on a non-matte helmet it can appear closer to silver than a grey helmet.

Pre-2023 correct*

It's silver vs grey. They shouldn't look like the same colors as the Lions.

Louisville has new 'Ghost Stories' uniforms that feature glow in the dark details similar to ASU.

 

 

That has to be the dumbest thing I've seen this year.

Ohio State suffering from Detroit Lions syndrome. Wearing an all grey uniform that is no where close to the shade of the helmet.

It matches the pants though. It only doesn't match because you're dealing with two different types of surfaces.

Well, either Brett Rypien played his way out of a backup job or Stafford's going to be out for a bit.

Probably a bit of both at this stage of the season.

I like the ESPN+ setup, but I think this will help the league get that much more exposure. Does this include the USL W League as well?

Not too sure, but I know that Stade Français Paris, Union Bordeaux Bègles and Castres Olympique in the French Top 14 use them. US Carcassonne, FC Grenoble and Provence Rugby from the French D2 league also use them. In Italy's top league, Rugby Rovigo Delta use them. So not the first brand you think of for rugby  but they've been in it for a while. I think at one time they might have been the kit supplier for Italy as well.

I remember them using a similar design to what Roma and the Tampa Bay Mutiny used for the rugby uniforms.

One of Pinoe and Krieger will go out a champion, I am not sure who deserves it more.

I just want a great game and not two teams scared to lose.

Newb here, where do you guys find templates for concept art and/or jersey swaps? Is there a template store? or available for free?  Or is it all made by hand? I'd like to try my hand at making a few but don't where to start. Wanted to start with a NBA jersey style template. I know my way around photoshop so plan to use that software.

 

If you search YouTube, sometimes the person doing tutorials will have free templates attached to whatever they are working on. Mockups Bolivia has a few. I've used them for the women's soccer player action shots that I've used in the past. 

Canton McKinley broke out a 100% Ohio State clone look for Massillon-McKinley this year. They then lost 35-0. 

Massillon wore the flying tiger on the helmets this year. 

McKinley was also able to paint the field this season since they no longer have stitched logos on the field.

That Gotham strike was a thing of beauty.

Anyone else having issues pasting images onto their posts? Copy and paste hasn't been working on any images from any site. Copy image address has been a workaround but irritating when images don't embed 

It's changed to "Copy Image Address". I had the same issues.

Italy's Serie A Femenil had a team drop out after 6 games due to complaints against officiating of their games. They lost to Sampdoria on a PK that was stated by Pomigliano to be dubious at best.
