Apparently you haven't seen this. It's a huge advantage for them.

10/20/16 2:20pm

didn't the MTN west ban them from using it in conference games or something?

Rocky Long was just pissed because his dad would show up to BYU/UNM games wearing BYU gear.

Exactly. It's a whiney-hiney-thumbsucker excuse. Only Sissies make it.

I don't necessarily buy into the advantage thing, but comparing a green team to

10/20/16 2:32pm

You don't see logic in comparing situations in which uniforms match the turf?

CSU's green jerseys don't come close to matching the shade of the grass, however

No, but my middle initial is J. Also, I watched them on film. A lot. No problems

I think it obviously is harder for the players.

They are absolutely related. If green on green was an advantage, it would have

I am more replying to the idea OP expressed about people saying it is advantageo

10/20/16 4:46pm

Most complaints (including mine) are it's an eyesore to watch on TV.

SCcoug

10/20/16 2:35pm

Which is valid. The competitive advantage thing is not.

Jake Kuresa disagrees:

Just a quick question on his quote - are O-lineman typically trying to see

gww687

That would explain why he didn't see them

Maybe he has a sight condition that causes blue things to disappear. I don't.

yewtsrnogood

10/20/16 3:01pm

So maybe the complaints are valid?

Cam Jensen said the same thing yesterday. Harder to see players.

Why are they not allowed to wear blue in conference home games?

It's not the players who can't see. It's the coaches

Dude, no, you can't. It is no different at all. I played there. It's the same.

Completely agree.

10/20/16 6:57pm

That smurf turf is stoopid

10/20/16 8:01pm

Nope. It has nothing to do with the turf.

10/20/16 8:13pm

So BYU is a cupcake?
