Let's call it "community service green"Ugliest college band uniforms on the planet will be found in the Granola Head city of Eugene Oregon and are worn by the University of Oregon band. Oregon University, home of the $15 million locker room, and the $20 band uniforms. The most horrid things I've ever seen. They actually look like something people convicted of misdemeanors wear while they are cleaning roads. I call it community service green, ill fitting, ugly, and just awful. Saw the Oregon-Michigan football game over the weekend and it was the most exciting game I've ever seen in person. Autzen Stadium, home field for the Dux, is the noisiest outdoor stadium in the country. I still can't hear out of one ear. College football is really exciting. Hope you can go to a few games this year.

Game observation from a football nut Michigan has a 1975 pass offense and that team wouldn't beat either USC, Oregon, and maybe Washington State. Big quarterback drops back into pocket, moves up in same, then throws to one of THREE receivers. Eventually this offense breaks down when a QB has to throw 55 times a game. Every passing offense in ACC, PAC 10 and SEC has multiple sets with as many as five receivers running complicated patterns. Michigan supposedly had the best rusher in the United States and they didn't have one pass to him, no quick slants, and no three wide sets. Oregon has one of the worst pass defenses in the West with corners under six feet tall and one DB is only 5'9". Michigan is just another Big Ten "we'll run it down your throats to prove who the real men are" team facing the 300 pound per man defense. Minus three yards rushing for the entire game. Notre Dame must be awful to be pushed around by these guys and Michigan can be thankful they didn't face U.S.C. with the biggest and baddest defense in the country. Real loser is Michigan recruiting because they try to recruit in the west and any kid who plays wide out, quarterback, or running back will be shown "lowlights" of this game by all recruiters to prospects thinking of going to Michigan. Trust me, this offense as shown couldn't win ACC, SEC or PAC 10.
