Around the SB Nation: Santa better watch his back in Ann Arbor

by Joel Hollingsworth on Oct 20, 2009 12:01 PM EDT in Rocky Top Talking Points

Penn State blog Black Shoe Diaries stokes the emotions with a highly-amusing Michigan Hate Week post.
As Hooper noted in this space last night, Alabama has denied Tennessee's request to wear its orange jerseys on the road this week. Yes, it's 'Bama's fault for allowing the Pac-10 to out-cool the SEC. Roll Bama Roll has a point, though, saying that "It's not like a jersey's color magically empowers the player wearing it to run faster, leap higher, and tackle harder. Just ask Georgia (zing!)."
The Rivalry, Esq. examines the BCS rankings and notes that they do not support the theory that the Big Ten is having a down year. The Big Ten blog also weighs in on what's wrong with Ohio State QB Terrelle Pryor.
Team Speed Kills has its weekly lessons learned post up. Summary: Alabama's fortunate to have Mark Ingram, Florida's fortunate to have a win, and Arkansas is . . . not really all that fortunate, unfortunately.

I think we had the same point as RBR:

The jersey color doesn’t affect gameplay, so why not go home-and-home? They’d enjoy it. We’d enjoy it. Everybody wins.

Even Alabama fans would enjoy it: they’d get to gripe about the orange that much more, and that always seems to help them make it through the day.

Forget it.

I just saw the character of the boys on that side of the argument. bobo was ambushed and I’m quite proud of the composure that was displayed. I work with a good man that happens to be a Bama fan. He is in the minority. I just hope the white jerseys stay clean on Sat.
