They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

ltjets21 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 One more thing i miss college basketball teams not having new uniforms every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Each NBA team having their own warm ups.Watching the Lakers vs. Celtics with those famous warm-ups reminds me of why I started liking basketball as a kid.now everyone just wears the company line Adidas stuff. Its a microcosm for this big-business society we live in, and its worse.This.Black boots in soccer;Pat Summerall and John Madden calling football games.; ABA era multi colored basketballs;fun celebrations in all sports;players seeing out careers with one team except maybe one last year on a basement team;madly idiosincratic uniforms like the Nuggets skyline or Astros stripey thing;The Patriots in red (yes yes I know it's not historically accurate, but for my money, that was a better look for the Patriots). 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loogodude90 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I just caught the tail end of the 2003 World Series on ESPN Classic... which reminds me that I'm going to miss the MLB on FOX theme (the original one, not the :censored:ed-up one they mainly used in recent years), if it is indeed gone for good.

rvrdgsfn Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 NHL teams wearing the whites at home.Even though I've gotten use to it by now, I agree. I miss home teams wearing white unless it was a weekend game where the thirds were out. I also miss National Hockey Night on ESPN, just for the theme alone.

NYYNYR Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I miss pitchers' parks in the AL. I'm digging how HRs are down and realism may be returning to HR totals. As a mostly AL fan, I find it annoying that there are really only 2 or 3 pitchers' parks in the whole 14-team league. I'd say you have Safeco, Oakland and Target. That's it. The others are simply varying degrees of hitters' parks...sad. Is my nostalgia misguided? I thought Comerica had a chance to be a real pitcher's park, but then they caved to Juan Gone's crying...

Not sure about the Trop. I forgot Kaufman stadium. You could make an argument for that, too. But the league is severely tilted towards hitters' parks. The entire AL East is pretty much arcade baseball now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
