huskerfan74 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I could care less about apparel change, I am more interested in character change. Can we get that? 1 Quote Link to comment

Can we get that? You don't think money drives CFB? Brand, apparel lines that attract specific recruits? Adidas is going to go the way of Riddell. This school needs to get rid of Adidas if they want to compete with the rest of CFB. That's the name of the game today. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

WWG1_we_GBR Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Umm. Nike can't fix this dumpster fire. all the flashy uniforms and uni combos in the world (see, eg. Oregon) won't make a difference. Not the problem. 2 Quote Link to comment
WWG1_we_GBR Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 in my humble opinion, our success was due to the confluence of many things. mostly, we had a vision and implemented it and did things that nobody else did, right place, right time. facilities, strength and conditioning, coached to our strengths...strength, nutrition and an emphasis on a massive walk-on effort. we were doing that before anyone else and won a bunch of titles because we "won the race" we were first. recruiting changes, scholarship limitations and the "arms race" for facilities all caught up to us and so did other programs. We didn't keep up. Now we have to play catch-up in the new era. it's evolving and we are devolving. that's what I think anyway 2 1 Quote Link to comment

We can have Nike without having flashy uniforms and crazy combos. All blue bloods are Nike except us and ND. If we can even call ourselves that anymore. Quote Link to comment

If you can't beat em, join em. 1 Quote Link to comment

Do you know that for a fact? Seems like NIKE treats schools with royalty. Seems like NIKE schools win championships. Seems like NIKE schools bring in better student athletes. I can go on and on. 2 Quote Link to comment

It has to do with coaching and players less to do with what they are wearing. If you happen to sign the best schools in the best conferences your odds of clothing a National Champion go up. 2 Quote Link to comment
