A Lil SouthernPigskin Sumthin

A short column I wrote last night for southernpigskin.com as the Steelers came back to lay it on the Broncos.

Writing less this year, part is the new job cropping over a hour off my day due to the commute and my new sleep schedule (in bed at 11:30 as opposed to 12:30.) Also, the dreaded Hokie malaise. Just not feeling it this year. Other than my man crush Cody Grimm and Ryan Williams, not much is getting me excited. To make matters worse, the season has been ... dreadful. Less excitement than usual, no great teams and a shit load of above avg teams. You'd think anyone winning any week would be great ... it isn't. Anyway, I need to think of other things to write about for Southernpigskin. I also am to write about Maryland and uva too but, what more can I say "They suck ass and their coaches are dead men walking?" I could skewer the Hokie offense ... but why? It's not going to get me anywhere but more pissed off.

Anyway, the Nike vs Under Armour uniforms is bout the best thing going for this Hokies - Terps matchup. Maryland is the worst team in the ACC and to be honest, it's not close. Will be interesting to see if their ACC no. 1 rush defense is cause teams just pass at will on them or if it's legit. It's not like they won't know what's coming, Ryan Williams straight ahead. I do like the experimental, one off uniforms. I'd do away with the shoulder stripes, but I like the gradient coloring, I think the numbers look real cool.

More info on the Nike Combat Unis by Dr. Saturday here. The link to all 10 unis here. I love mizzou's and like the f$u uniforms. I also love the whatisagaintheOhioStateUniversity pants, but I have a soft spot for ugga and tosu gray pants.

Friends of the Program has a pretty good take on it, here.
