Has to be a Southern thing:

I wonder if you could find the South with a compass.
lain: Read that part to my wife, who did her undergraduate and Masters work at Alabama and she asked, "Has he ever actually visited the South and does he know it's not mostly plantations and spiritual singing in between the games?"People in the north just don't dress like this:
Most people anywhere don't dress like that. But I'm sure I've seen a few equally ridiculous outfits along the way.
Boise State Fans, by way of...

Here's a real improvement from Michigan

You can find ridiculously dressed fans having fun with their school colors or mascots just about anywhere. I suspect most of them aren't wearing their ensembles outside of the confines.
I know, but when it comes to checkered and plaid sport coats, you guys are in a league of your own.
Showed my wife, who did her undergraduate and JD work in Massachusetts, those suits, and she said she never saw suits like that in New England. :chuckle:
Outside of game days and golf courses you really don't see a lot of it, though why that's worse or some sort of singular litmus for the absurd is anyone's guess.
Ask her if she had an undergrad major or concentration. I had a concentration. If she knows why I asked she'll know what it means. And tell her I followed it with "____ B.U.!"
Because you couldn't get that sort of garish out of a Boston sports fan, to narrow it a bit, could you...

Yeah, that's a loooooot better.
lain: It's the lack of plaid that really makes the difference. 
Reminds me of Herb Tarlek from WKRP in Cincinnati.
One time Johnny Fever asked Herb were he bought all those crazy suits and sport coats. Herb's reply was "a Pro-shop in Kentucky".
She said double major.
She doesn't know why. Is a concentration like a minor? What about a specialization, is that easier or harder than a concentration?
No checkered or plaid sport coats.
No, it was just me playing a hunch. If you go to a particular school in New England that would trigger an answer. Not to worry. The "___B.U.!" line would have likely made sense too. Just curious.
Which is worse why again? :chuckle:
She did her undergrad at Simmons College in Boston, and then went to Boston University School of Law.
Does your "____B.U.!" refer to Boston University?
Said Peyton Manning on the Tennessee sideline when your Crimson Tide scored that late TD, and then recovered that fumble at the end of the game.

Interesting day today.
Utah got beat pretty good.
Fla. St. lost to a Georgia Tech team that was 0-4 in the ACC heading into today's game. Just when we thought there wouldn't be another famous "Kick-6", we got one.
Alabama squeaked out a win. Peyton Manning on the Tennessee sideline must have spooked them.
Clemson gave the Miami Hurricanes their worst loss in school history.
Baylor didn't crack the "50 Point" barrier for the first time this season. They only scored 45 points.
Ohio St actually played like a team ranked #1, but it was against Rutgers.
Ole Miss returned to its early season form.
Toledo looked like they were going to show everyone they were from the MAC, but then scored 41 points in the second half.
Duke, Pitt, and North Carolina keep winning. Somebody forgot to tell these three schools that the ACC Coastal isn't a basketball division.

Speaking of the ACC Coastal Division:
Almost every preseason poll had it Georgia Tech #1, Virginia Tech #2, and Miami #3.
As of today, Georgia Tech is in last place, Virginia Tech is in next to last, and then Miami is next-to-next to last place ("antepenultimate" for you attorneys and Greek students)
So much for "experts".

No, they played a darn good game, but we had the ball on their five and took a knee or you could add seven to our total.
I thought that spoke well of the program.
That was only after the fumble. No fumble, and Tennessee could have drove for the winning score.
The Tide was losing with 3:00 left in the game.
Alabama was very fortunate to win the game. Don't pretend they weren't. I watched it.
No dropped passes by a normally sure handed db and we likely have two more tds going the other way.
It's the nature of the game.
You're always losing until you aren't. They played well, but we helped keep them in it. That's Alabama's weakness this year. You could as easily have said we were winning until Tennessee made a valiant drive and then we did what we had to do, which is also what Bama tends to do.
You may have watched it, but if that's what you took away you weren't seeing it.
A good SEC team played up to their potential and a better team didn't, but still managed to win the thing.It happens.

Well, seeing it thru burgundy colored glasses does give one an odd perspective.
