Boise State forbidden to wear all blue at home

Re: Boise State forbidden to wear all blue at home

its very stupid but guess what...they signed off on it. It's not something handed down from the NCAA or just NOW being handed down by the Mountain West. They knew this coming in, no one to blame but themselves, if they didn't like it then don't sign it.

Exactly.

So i guess Oregon and Michigan State are banned from wearing all green then. I hate the smurf turf, but this is ridiculous.

Re: Boise State forbidden to wear all blue at home

If I'm correct in saying this, then I don't see the fuss.

It's a Mountain West rule, right ? Just MWC games.. they can wear their all blues out of conference and they knew it when they signed up.

Re: Boise State forbidden to wear all blue at home

I have mixed emotions on this. While I think it is stupid that they are being forced to not wear blue at home for MWC games, then again they knew this going into joining the MWC. They agreed to it. So I guess the coach really shouldn't be complaining about it. They could always go back to the WAC.

It's a stupid rule, but they did sign for it. It is stupid that it was even brought up in the first place though.

Re: Boise State forbidden to wear all blue at home

I'd wear all blue and let the ****storm ensue... When you are on the field... You will notice a 6 foot 200 pound person, no matter what the hell they're wearing... smh

So Kellen Moore has no trouble seeing his WRs at home but MWC teams can't see Bosie's defenders?

Re: Boise State forbidden to wear all blue at home

does this mean they can just wear orange pants? or an orange helmet?

I can understand the conferences thinking, I've always hated watched Boise State in all blue at home, even with my HD TV its annoying. Conference could just be thinking about the quality they're projecting to their consumers than just the advantages of being the same color as the field.... or both had to do with it.

Stupid/Funny comment from random person on the same story different website

This week's episode of "Unfrozen Caveman Commissioner."

Announcer: [ over SUPER ] "One hundred thousand years ago, a caveman was out hunting on the frozen wastes when he slipped and fell into a crevasse. In 1999, he was discovered by some scientists and thawed out. He then helped form the Mountain West Conference, and became Unfrozen Caveman Commissioner.

Jingle: "He used to be a caveman,
but now he's a commissioner.
Unfrozen Caveman Commissioner!"

[open on interior, courtroom, the Judge banging her gavel ]

Judge: Mr. Thompson, are you ready to give your summation?

Thompson: [ stepping out] It's just "Thompson", your Honor, and, yes, I'm ready. [approaches the jury box ] Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'm just a caveman. I fell on some ice and was later thawed by some of your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me! When I see a solar eclipse, like the one I went to last year in Hawaii, I think 'Oh no! Is the moon eating the sun?' I don't know. Because I'm a caveman -- that's the way I think! When I'm on the sidelines at a TCU game, I wonder if the ball is some sort of food they're fighting over. When I see my image on the security camera at the country club, I wonder, are they stealing my soul? I get so upset, I hop out of my Range Rover, and run across the fairway to the clubhouse, where I get Carlos to make me one of those martinis he's so famous for, to soothe my primitive caveman brain. But whatever world you're from, I DO know one thing - When the Broncos wear all blue on the blue turf it frighten and confuses the other teams. My primitive mind can't grasp the concept that players wearing blue uniforms on a blue turf aren't magical. What I heard from coaches is that it's a 'competitive advantage. It's as simple as that. And, for that reason, I ask that you find me not guilty of pettyness. Thank you.

Judge: The jury will now retire to deliberate.

Jury Foreman: [standing ] Your Honor. I don't think we need to retire. Thompson's words are just as true now as they were in his time. We find him not guilty.

[ the jury applauds Thompson ]

Judge: Did you hear that, Mr. Thompson? [ no answer ] Mr. Thompson?

Thompson: [watching Colorado State playing in all green uniforms on a green field on a tiny TV ] I'm sorry, your Honor. I was watching the tiny men trapped inside this strange modern device! [ smiles maliciously to the camera ]

Announcer: "Unfrozen Caveman Commissioner" has been brought to you by petty, frightened coaches looking for excuses for their team's pathetic performances.

Announcer: Next time, on "Unfrozen Caveman Commissioner"
Thompson: I'm just a caveman and those burning sun balls in Bronco stadium frighten and confuse me when the Broncos are on offence, so for all conference, night, home games the stadium lights will be turned off when the Broncos are on offence.

And that is basically what I think of the brains of the MWC now... <bleep>ing idiots, the lot of them...

Re: Boise State forbidden to wear all blue at home

I don't see why people are spending so much energy getting worked up about it.

I don't think the rule makes much sense, but no one held a gun to anyone's head and made them agree to it.

I think some people didn't read the article in it's entirety. I know my first impression was that the MWC just upped and decided to institute this rule one month before the season, before I read the article.

The MWC was the only conference with the balls to bring them in. So you saying they shouldn't have signed the contract and should have stayed in the WAC is stupid. They had to sign to it but it was the only option.

It is stupid, which is why I didn't say that, anywhere.

We do not know if that was the only option. Maybe Boise St could of fought it, maybe they tried, we don't know. However, they signed the contact and it is a MWC rule. As stupid as it is, it's obvisouly better then being in the WAC.

It's a stupid rule, but they did sign for it. It is stupid that it was even brought up in the first place though.

This was my feeling as well. Makes you wonder how much of a say Petersen had in it though.

At the same time I can't just say ""they shouldn't have signed it" as it seems like they wouldn't have been allowed to move without it. Staying in the WAC was still worse than going to the MWC.
