Landlord Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 The 2002 uniforms certainly can't count towards that statistic, since they were our "regular" uniforms that year, they weren't alternates... right? Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 The 2002 uniforms certainly can't count towards that statistic, since they were our "regular" uniforms that year, they weren't alternates... right? agree Same with the '92 games. In fact take all those losses off in 92, and add an alternate win, because the red pants at OU would have been the "alternate". Quote Link to comment
kchusker_chris Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 yikes. depending on the game they choose to do this - it certainly worries me that we'll have another "red out Texas 2010" type of atmosphere/outcome. Quote Link to comment

HuskerShark Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 The past is the past. Maybe I'm not superstitious, but it's more about who is inside the jersey and how well they play. Not the jersey itself. Quote Link to comment
C N Red Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Basically from that, the all white uni's need to never ever be used again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

Once we get publicity and black uni's, we get recruits, because they love publicity and black uni's. Once we get recruits, we'll go 14-0 every year. Hello? Logic! 3 Quote Link to comment

That's what I was thinking as well What does it matter if they're "alternate" uniforms for that season or not? The point is, don't wear all red or all white, because obviously they're cursed.

The Maudfather Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Anybody have the statistics on Oregon's record when wearing alternate uniforms? Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Anybody have the statistics on Oregon's record when wearing alternate uniforms? I mean they wear different uni's every week, so it's kind of hard to judge. Quote Link to comment
