Special Uniforms For These Two Games?


You've got to wonder why NIKE would feel the need to break out SPECIAL UNIFORMS for Virginia Tech's games against Austin Peay and Bowling Green -- yet, they'll do just that this season in two games you probably won't see on television.  Photos above of helmets and a jersey.

Clue #2: ND's Shamrock Series Uniform



Here's the second "swatch" of material (top photo) from the folks at ADIDAS -- for the uniform they've designed for the FIGHTIN' IRISH in their game on October 6 at Soldier Field against the Miami Hurricanes.  My guess is the the top photo is from the jersey, which will be BLUE with GOLD shoulders on it.  The bottom photo is the first swatch -- which I believe is from the pants or from a muscle shirt that will be worn under the jersey, which would be a huge departure for Notre Dame.  Any guesses?

The entire uniform will be unveiled on August 16.

Golden Tate Subject of Terrell Owens PUNK!


Pete Carroll and Terrell Owens teamed up this past week to PUNK former Notre Dame All-American Golden Tate and his Seattle Seahawks teammates.  As some of you may know, Golden declined to give up his #81 to Terrell Owens -- unless he forked over $81,000.  Don't leave the video early.
