It further proves that Peter and his team of arrogant pricks are all about the show. I couldn’t name one other team that would accept this sort of penalty just so they could wear a particular jersey.

This is ridiculous. Basically they are saying they don’t need all of their timeouts to win this game. Probably true….but it sends a real condescending message to UCLA…this should be bulletin board material for them.

I really do want to play USC with the hopes of giving the media a nice big shit burger to eat….however, it would be nice if USC loses based on the fact they gave up a timeout in the second half, just to wear some f*cking jersey.

I don’t find this overly terrible. It is bringing back a neat little tradition, doesn’t seem to be intended out of spite, and it is not like other teams don’t mess with their uniforms. And both teams and the conference seem to be on board.

LSU usually plans to wear their white uniforms as home uniforms. Schools do all sorts of crap with third color uniforms and the like. Notre Dame and the dumb green jerseys, and so on.

I think Oregon should be penalized anytime they wear the flourescent yellow uniforms, and remember those uniforms that Florida, Miami, and VA Tech wore a few years ago with 1 sleeve a different color?

All that being said, what a random penalty to assess. One timeout each half? Who made that up?

Finally, still, let’s wipe our asses with USC no matter what color jersey they wear.

Actually, I think this is crap. I mean, cool tradition and all, but I don’t believe Carroll would do this unless he believes he’s going to win no matter what. There are several scenarios in which three timeouts can be crucial. Heck, if UCLA is winning at the end of the game, say in the last two minutes, and they run three times straight up the middle, USC would have, at best 1:20 to score rather than 1:50 or so… which can be ages in the game of college football. If they blow a time out too early, that goes down to 40 seconds.

I would be furious if Penn State chose to do this just to wear their blue against a rival. I hope karma goes and bites Carroll in the butt.

I mean, I can see how this is Pete being overconfident, but I don’t see the point in us as PSU fans getting riled up about this. So he’s disrespecting UCLA. That’s what rivalries do. After they win the game there will be plenty of opportunities to get upset about USC taking us lightly. I can’t find myself getting worked up about this one.

Carroll and Rick discussed at the begining of the season and considered a gentleman’s agreement where the home coach would just call a timout at the begining of each half to make it even. It will probably happen this way. Anyway the white away rule is antiquated. It is a relic from black and white TV days.

We have to accept that PSU is a very benign presence in the world of college football. A well respected one, but benign. It would be nice if a team disrespected us as it would spice things up (Michigan State was close), but USC would NEVER do this home uniform thing to us or any other team.

And USC is NOT Miami. Sorry. They’re confident, maybe a little pompous, but hardly a$$hole arrogant like camouflage dungarees, which by the way 95% of Center Pennsylvania’s population wears year round.

and wear the old pink and black uniforms. FEAR THE PINK, USC…FEAR THE PINK!
