Why does uconn have osu on jerseys

Which means the Buckeyes, the hosts for Saturday's game, have decided to go all-out with custom uniforms for the game, which they unveiled Monday afternoon. Take a look:. These are certainly a departure from their traditional white-and-scarlet emphasis, but the Buckeyes still retain plenty of class OSU design flair. The two-toned greyscale design means any splash of color -- like the buckeye helmet decals, bright shoes, and well-placed "O" collar insignia -- pops even more than usual.

And the fur pattern in the numbers, seen below, is a nice subtle design touch, a nod to the "Land of the Wolves" mentality the Buckeyes took on before the season. Will these all-greys be enough for the Buckeyes to overcome the power of Heisman hopeful Barkley and the high-powered Nittany Lions? It's disappointing when it isn't that way, to be truthful. It's disappointing. The stadium was about half empty no, not "half full" as the players hit the tunnel. Thousands of the 40, seats were still empty at kickoff.

The stadium was sold out and eventually did fill up, but a mass exodus back into parking lot began well before the clock expired. You might think that fans in Connecticut deserve a pass, given our lack of experience with "big time" college football. Decent theory, but that pass expired a few seasons ago. Heck, the football coach is actually taking the time to educate the fans on proper protocol. If the fans are still unsure of how to support a team, watch a University of Georgia or Notre Dame University game some time.

Try to find an empty seat during the warm-ups—I dare you. Pack the damn stadium before kickoff. Doesn't seem hard, does it? While I have you here, please indulge me in a final thought on supporting college sports. You can walk out of a movie if you don't like it—no harm done. You can boo your favorite pro team if they lay down on the job—I wouldn't, but it doesn't bother me. College sports are different. These are kids. They are sons and daughters, friends and classmates, taking the field in the name of the school you support.

I know that the revenue-producing college sports have many business-like elements to them not all good , but these are fundamentally student-athletes trying their best to represent their school. They are playing for you as much as anything else. These aren't professionals cashing a weekly paycheck for the most part ; they're kids. These kids are doing everything they can on the field to represent the University of Connecticut.

Would it kill you to show up and support them with the respect and pride that they deserve? Enjoy our content? Join our newsletter to get the latest in sports news delivered straight to your inbox!
