Big Red Network —
... the all-white pits to knees stripe experiment of Pederson's first season as AD, Nebraska fans will see the Huskers in something new. But that's okay because it's something old. There are two camps when it comes to uniform changes at Nebraska: a) Those that think the uniforms are full of tradition and should be left alone, and b) Those that crave something new. As a uniform geek I considered myself a member of both camps. You can have at me in the comments for this, but I LIKE the new Oregon uniforms and I liked the ...

Last week I mentioned that Nike had extended their deal with U.S. Track & Field to provide shoes and other apparel to the teams until 2013, and now there’s news that they’ve extended their deal with the University of North Carolina.

The LeGarrette Blount Apology Tour Is Underway
SPORTSbyBROOKS —
It’s no surprise that LeGarrette Blount waited until Saturday to call Boise State and apologize for getting all punchy and stuff ; he probably spent all of Friday turning in his equipment. Five different game jerseys , five different pairs of pants, dozens of coordinated wristbands, elbow pads, socks, six pairs of cleats … what a project. [image] But after all of that was accomplished, he did head over to Chip Kelly’s office and call Boise State coach Chris Petersen and sucker punchee Byron Hout and apologized to both.
