Tennessee Hate Week: No Kiffin! No Orange!

Word has come down that Alabama will not allow Tennessee to wear their orange home jerseys this weekend, despite the fact that both the SEC and NCAA agreed to allow it without any imposing any penalties (if you'll recall, USC elected to forfeit a time out in order to wear their home jerseys at UCLA last year). No reason was given for the decision, though Rocky Top Talk thinks it's because we're no fun. The ADs don't seem too upset about it, though:
"Mike (Hamilton) and I had a good conversation this morning," Alabama athletics director Mal Moore said of Tennessee's athletics director, "and I told him that it is our desire to maintain the custom of the visiting team wearing their visiting jerseys.
"We'll continue to wear our white jerseys when we visit Knoxville next year."
Anyway, on the one hand I personally am a little disappointed. Seeing the Crimson and White of Alabama literally clash with the puke Orange of Tennessee would be fun. On the other hand, who cares? 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!). And besides, as kleph so succinctly put it in a g-chat, "this is a football game, not a &*%$ing fashion show." I know there are certainly folks around here that are upset at the university for denying what used to be a tradition, so vent away if you will, but remember this: Had we agreed to the deal, we ran the risk of the all-Orange unis befouling our stadium.

I wish it had been allowed
Going both ways, obviously (Bama wearing their home jerseys @ UT next year). But, yeah, either way is fine. However, it does add a bit more uniqueness to the rivalry game. This is Tennessee vs Alabama after all, let’s make it as fun as we can.

That’s what she said.
Seriously, though, I think it would have been cool in a gimmicky fashion. Maybe we can bust it out for a special occasion, like 2026, the sesquicentennial of the first Bama-Tennessee game, or 2028, when we will have played every season for 100 consecutive years.

There is something cool about different uni’s, long as they are brought out for something big, and not for a “big game”. Rivalries only plzkthx.

Keeping with the road team wearing white is appropriate. I wouldn’t want to see our Crimson in Knoxville next year. Tennessee fans do not earn the right to see the GREATEST shade of red grace their field.

By tradition
I meant more along of the lines of recent history. If I recall correctly, it’s been at least 30 years since they teams both wore colored jerseys. Partly against it too, because I’ve become disenchanted with the whole “throwback” jersey games of the NFL this year

There are no penalties. The 15 yards is if the home team doesn’t agree to it, like how USC had to lose a timeout when they dressed in the home uni’s for UCLA.

No, the rules provide a provision for you to not wear white jerseys.
Saying that something is required, and leaving it at that, when there is an alternative, is quite silly. That’d be like saying, in chess, you are required to move a pawn first.

There's ALWAYS an alternative.
You don’t have to pull up after the QB throws, you just have to take a 15 yard penalty if you want to do it.
Point is: the rules REQUIRE the wearing of away jerseys UNLESS the home team approves. The home team DID NOT approve, therefore wearing the whites is REQUIRED.
You graduated from Tennessee, didn’t you?
I'm wrong all the time.
by PeteHoliday on Oct 20, 2009 1:40 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm glad you're on the same boat as me
but “Required” means that there is no okay alternative. If tennessee does show up in Orange jerseys, then yes they broke a rule. But you said
I’m pretty sure the rules require y’all to wear white jerseys this week unless you want to take 30 yards in penalties.Which isn’t the entire story. Kleph did you one worse:
we wear what the rules require.. The rules have two required provisions: that
- the visiting team wears their away jerseys
- the home team can allow the visiting team to wear an alternative “home” jersey.
Just because Alabama doesn’t want to allow Tennessee to wear their home jerseys, as the adjusted rules allow, doesn’t mean the rulebook changes to require the method that’s being used.

Just because Alabama doesn’t want to allow Tennessee to wear their home jerseys, as the adjusted rules allow, doesn’t mean the rulebook changes to require the method that’s being used.
Okay, nobody is suggesting that the rulebook is changing — we’re simply pointing out a simple fact: the rulebook requires Tennessee to wear white this weekend.
I’m going to use small words because I can see that you’re not real good with the English.
The rules say that the visiting team (that’s y’all) must wear white jerseys. If you don’t, you have to take a penalty (that’s where the football goes in the direction your team doesn’t want it to) because you’re breaking the rules.
The rules say that if the home team (that’s us) and the SEC (ignore this for now, it’s hard to understand) allow it, they can wear a solid-colored (in this case, orange) jersey.
Saban said no, therefore the rules require you to wear white jerseys. You know the rules require this because if you don’t wear white jerseys, you have to take a penalty (that backwards-moving-ball thing again).
The reason you’re having a hard time defending your point is because you’re wrong.
I'm wrong all the time.
by PeteHoliday on Oct 21, 2009 9:35 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
And, really, the whole conversation line started based off of the debating of the merits of wearing home & home or home & away.The statement
so basically you admit you guys are making this up as we go along… how about we wear what the rules require.
In context, suggests that rather than doing the proposed option (orange jerseys) we “wear what the rules require”. Agreed, if Tennessee shows up in orange jerseys there will be a rule violation, now.

that analogy makes absolutely no sense.
there’s nothing in the rules that require you to open with a pawn rather than a knight in any circumstance. This is a pretty stupid argument anyway.

I wish they had allowed the all orange uniforms as a tip of the hat to the history between these teams.
I am sorry to see such juvenile rants about “puke orange”. It isn’t as classy as this community has normally been.

Three very good reasons...
1. psychological; study after study indicates players feel more powerful in darker jerseys.
2. game play…it’s easier to see down field if you’re looking for contrast of dark/light than against orange-red
3. I don’t believe for one second Nick Saban is going to oblige this punk on anything. I doubt he’d piss on Kiffykins if he were on fire.

All good points
And certainly valid ones, but I’m still a bit disappointed those points couldn’t be overcome for the “man, it’s cool to see orange on red” for us.
With point 2: Johnathon Crompton has shown he has little regard to the color of one’s jersey to throw it to them, aside from the last two games. So, no problems with that here ;-)

I should say
A national fan-audience. The argument that “The Jerseys are Ugly” is old, tired, and worn out. They look nothing like ‘puke’ orange — or if so, I want to know what the heck ya’ll in Alabama eat. They are just true orange — in the sense that when you say “orange” you think of something close to the Tennessee/Clemson color (Clemson is a bit darker, but not by much.)
Also, this rivalry was played for 60+ years in Orange on Red, and this game would mark 40 years of playing without that. Conventional wisdom would say that the “tradition” of the 3rdish Saturday in October is still to wear those jerseys.
Also, you Alabama fans crack me up. You talk about how you are going to dominate — why be worried that Tennessee is going to get pshyched up?

You seem to be missing the point
The point is: leave your orange jerseys in Knoxville. When you come to Tuscaloosa, you play in white.
The tradition argument is weak at best. Things that haven’t been done in nearly half a century are FORMER traditions. So what you really mean to say is that it USED TO BE a tradition for UT and ‘Bama to both play in home jerseys. Guess what? It ain’t a tradition any more.
There’s just no compelling reason to allow it and since Kiffykins has been a huge douche since his first day in the SEC, I don’t know why we would do him any favors.
Maybe someone ought to buy him a copy of the Carnegie book.

Love the logic:
“If you change the stadium’s name, you change the history!”
Well, a bit of added research tells me that Denny Stadium opened in 1929, and the 1930 rivalry game was played in Tuscaloosa. So, while I assume that was in that stadium and that the uni’s were orange, I could be wrong.

It was Kiffin’s attempt to steal our thunder at our stadium, to give his players something to be pumped up about. So no, Lane, you don’t get to wear your orange. You don’t get to come to Bryant-Denny and steal the attention we will be getting, without beating us. You’re the visiting team, you get the attention a visiting team gets. You can wear the orange jersey next year and we will wear white.

If Saban doesn't want to do it,
he’s got a reason, even if he doesn’t share it with the public. And I’d bet it’s something more than spite or “continuing the tradition” of wearing white. Maybe McElroy’s colorblind. Who knows? But since he’s been here, have you known him to do anything without a plan?

Heard Beano and Ivan on the Podcast today...
in the words of an Alabama AD personnel type: “Saban doesn’t like surprises”. Now, in the no shit department, the sun still rises in the East, and Jonathan Crompton sucks against anyone not named Auburn/Georgia.

And now
You are finally a ’Bama fan ;-)
A quick search of ‘Nick Saba’s Wife’ on Google led me to this gem:
Nick Saban said he is worried about how much money his wife,Terry, spent in Baton Rouge over the weekend.
$4 Million a year and you’re worried about your wife buying a nicer dress?!

I know women who could spend $4 million on shoes alone. I’d be worried also.

i’m actually in the reverse conspiracy camp on this whole issue. if there is a better way to divert coverage this week from our abysmal special teams and passing offense i sure as hell would love to see it.

Hmmm?
I wonder if Spurrier is going to catch grief for this:
“We’re honored to be associated with these brave men. I like that word courage. We’re trying to encourage our football players to play with a little more courage like the way these guys do for our country.”
I mean, c’mon, Saban caught all kinds of crap for mentioning 9/11 in the same breath as football, so it only should follow that Spurrier will catch grief for mentioning war and football together. Right. Right? Right?!?
