College Football 2014 Season

[JPDesign]

you really think that could be a solid conference??

TCU

Baylor

Texas A&M

Texas

Houston

Tech

Rice

North Texas

UTEP

UTSA

Texas State

SMU

This would be one of the weakest conferences ever and the top 4 would run rampid over everybody (i spaced it with how far apart these teams are from each other

Fixed.

Not everybody:

UH was a member of the SWC from 1975 until it's demise following the 95 season:

Cotton Bowl appearances 75-95:

TAMU 6

Texas 4

UH 4

Arkansas 3

Baylor 1

SMU 1

Texas Tech 1

When the Coogs were on a level playing field with the other schools in Texas we more than held our own.

What happened when they played UTSA earlier this year? You guys would definitely bring up the middle of this fantasy conference but im not sure how well you would compete with the current top 4

back on topic, this would be an interesting conference uni-wise. They could have a week designated Texas Pride week and wear special one offs since some of these schools like that kind of thing

I have always wondered what would have happened if the entire SWC had joined the Big 8 and created the first "super conference."

Big 8 Division: Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Colorado, Iowa State

SWC 8 Division: Texas, A&M, Texas Tech, Baylor, Houston, TCU, SMU, Rice

It's easy to remember the alignment - the Texas schools versus non Texas schools - plus top to bottom it's a pretty evenly balance conference as well. Balancing Nebraska-Oklahoma against Texas-A&M seems like each division has traditional powerhouses and even the mid-level teams (Mizzou, Colorado, KState -vs- Tech, Houston, Baylor) seem pretty well balanced as well. Would have been an interesting move, and makes you wonder if the Big Ten and SEC would have tried expanding further in retaliation. At the time, they had each recently scooped up members (Penn State, Arkansas & So. Carolina) so it seems like they might have continued expansion to counter a "Big 16."

You wonder about the upper tier ACC/Big East teams of the day. Might we have seen Virginia Tech, Miami, FSU, North Carolina, NC State, etc., wind up in the B1G or SEC?

The WAC was truly the first "ultra-super conference" with 16 teams. However, it was rare when one of them was, you know, super.

[29texan]

Didn't say it would be a "solid" conference. Just stating that it has enough to be its own "Big XII", WITH a title game.

[buckeye]

[hailstateunis]

These suck. They could at least have the DWS 100 stripes on the sleeves.

Obviously I disagree, but I've dragged us far enough off topic already.

Houston 1989 throwbacks for this week's homecoming game vs Tulane:

[razorback447]

Very nice. It seems like the entire SWC is rolling out throwbacks this year.

[WSU151]

Those UH throwbacks are pure awesomeness. Aren't the pants going to be just a bit different than the '89 pants?

[JPDesign]

An OU player posted this, which seems to indicate they will break out the home version of the alternates for the Baylor game this weekend:

I know this is kind of a weird post, but does anyone know the story behind this Oregon practice jersey? If you click and open the high res picture if you look closely (especially on his right shoulder) you can see the outlines of the feathers printed within the stripe. Just a manufacturing error or what?

If you read the story the photo was in, you would have seen they mentioned that several players were wearing jerseys with a new material that Nike is testing. This is nothing new really since there have been other photos and videos over the years of certain players wearing jerseys that were different from the rest, even some that looked like prototype Mach Speed and Hypercool jerseys.

[Dnice]

I do like Miss St's helmets, gold is a nice touch since they have similar looks in the SEC.

[MellowTheMyth]

I can never unsee this now, but the Mississippi state outline within the numbers look like dog treats. Anyway, I could care less about these Egg Bowl special uniforms.

[lahaye7]

If Akron's goal was to look like Baylor tonight v Bowling Green, then kudos. Oh those State Egg bowl unis are horrible. If you're gonna do gold for a special occasion, look to last year's Red River rivalry .

[LAWeaver]

The only thing that Miss State has going with that set is the helmet logo. Everything else is just typical adidas...

[hailstateunis]

I agree. Last year's egg bowl unis were the same way. Good helmet, but crap from the neck down. I'd prefer that we simply wear the regular unis with a gold (or gold accented) helmet, but I suppose that just makes too much sense.

[St Louis Cardinals]

I loved last years egg bowl uniform. I think the helmet was one of the best I have seen, and the uniforms were just a good compliment to the helmet.
