Well, if you want, we can talk about that one time we beat you. And then, when we're done with that, we can talk about the other time we beat you.Originally posted by Babs View Postlol. Is this what you've been reduced to, Triplet? Helmet smack??
Frankly, I think DDD was doing you a great favor. If we're talking about helmets, then at least you've got something to talk about. If we were to stick with times when one team beat another, you wouldn't be able to participate. And really, who wants that?τὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσιν

I know you don't spend much time around this forum, but try to keep up. I was talking to Triplet the Southern Cal fan, not Triplet the Coug. Hence the "reduced to" line. Southern Cal used to brag about wins. Now they brag about helmets. I'm expecting cleat smack anytime now.Originally posted by All-American View PostWell, if you want, we can talk about that one time we beat you.

I like USC's uniforms with the exception of the cheesy sticker on the helmet. If Bama is going to make it, I don't see why OU wouldn't make it, especially ahead of Arkansas. I also like Auburn's helmets.Originally posted by Viking View PostThis list sucks. Clemson? Tennessee? Arkanstupid? USC??
OU, as much as it pains me to say it, has a pretty sweet helmet.
IMO, the top 5:
Michigan
Texas
Miami
Georgia
UCLA (sorry DDD, just being honest)Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

This list sucks. Nebraska and Penn State have the most boring helmets of time and all eternity.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
Dig your own grave, and save!

This is how we can tell you're not a football person.Originally posted by falafel View PostThis list sucks. Nebraska and Penn State have the most boring helmets of time and all eternity.
I absolutely love Penn States Unis, particularly the helmet. There is a difference between classic and boring.

Miami is probably in the next group for me with USC, Oklahoma and Ohio State.
I don't think Georgias knock off of Green Bay is enough to push it to top five, though I do like it and would probably keep it top 20. I'm not a huge fan of UCLAs helmet, but that's just me.

Meh. Classic equals old in this case. Penn state's uniforms look like the stock generic uniforms you see on athlete's foot commercials.Originally posted by Sizzle View PostThis is how we can tell you're not a football person.

Why do you put Notre Dame in the top 5? They have the exact same helmet as Navy and Army except the facemask. I don't get this.Originally posted by Sizzle View PostIMO I think my top 5 includes Michigan, Penn State, Texas, Notre Dame and Bama.

Penn State is at least arguable because I'm not sure anyone has the plain white helmet with the pin stripe.
Georgia's knock off looks better than Green Bay's helmet because of the colors.
If Washington's team were any good, I think a lot more people would be mentioning Washington.Part of it is based on academic grounds.
