That bit about Colorado wearing the blue brought back bad memories. As a Boulder resident in the early 80s, i can tell you that those uniforms were FUGLY! I don’t know that the Board of Regents had much to do with it, though. I see to remember that the uni color was the brainchild of coach Chuck Fairbanks. It was a big event when Bill McCartney outfitted the Buffs in black in 85 for a home game against then-#1 Nebraska. The Buffs won, 20-10, and the next year they went back to black permanently. The SID at Colorado, Dave Plati, has a book out in that college vault series that may have photos of the blue. I’ll have to check around and see.

Nebraska beat Colorado 17-7 in 1985.

My Bad! I meant 86!

And FYI, I could care more about CC’s “no hitter”. It didn’t bother me either way. And yes, I wrote “more” on purpose, because if I stated I cared “less” about something, that means I already cared about it in the first place.

Only if Ned Yost could have had the same perspective.

I couldn’t agree more with you. Yost handled that situation completely wrong. I was embarrassed for him. I’m glad Yost is toast.

LI Phil… wow, this is going to be a compelling finish. Thank you for the congrats. Who would of thought we could win by scoring 4 runs on 2 hits?

Toronto at Pittsburgh tonight in the NHL: no advertising on the boards whatsoever except for an NHL.com logo in the corner.

Honestly… it looks weird. It feels like the 1970s.

That sounds wonderful. What’s the occasion?

paint hasn’t dried yet

Well, they’ve had two games to get it on right. The game in Pittsburgh against Tampa Bay had no advertisements either.

Pittsburgh may be the anti-corporate NHL!

Man, that looks so normal. So right. Everything about the uniforms pops without that interferrence.

But it’s not hockey without a Tim Horton’s ad.

When will the idiots at MLB.com get it right? They put the final score as 7-5. It obviously should have been 6-5.

save for the fact that those idiots DID get it right

a “walk off” home run is the ONLY instance in which ALL the runs scored via that type of hit COUNT in the final box score…(although robin ventura’s ‘grand slam single’ begs otherwise)

Doggone it, Phillip. I left off the sarcasm tag. Cub fan here just trying to point out to Brewer fan that the game isn’t really over until the last run has scored. At least that’s the way its been for more than a century.

Of course, there was June 25, 1891 (Thanks to Cubs Journal by John Snyder): The game ended when Cloff Carrol hit a drive over the left field fence with a runner on and the score 14-14. Under the scoring rules of the day, the contest ended when the lead runner scored, and Carroll was credited with a double instead of a homer.

If you want to know any more about this game, you’ll have to ask Ricko for his first hand account. :)

Excellent!!!

Hey UWers,

I scan here regularly, but rarely post. Usually, by the time I get around to adding my two cents, somebody else has gotten there already.

Anyway, I’m pretty positive the SI picture is Longoria … home Rays uni on a grass field; must be the All-Star game.

it IS NOW…but that’s not the pic ORIGINALLY in that link

it was a left handed batting asian-looking player…definitely NOT evan longoria

anyone get a screen cap of the orig?

Calm down Li Phil. You’re moment in the sun isn’t lost. I’m sure someone saw your heroic find and believes you.

Calm down Luke. Some of us didn’t get to see the photo before it was changed.

it’s cool larry…half the board saw it

Just to put an end to this one- the original wrong pic was that of Reid Brignac, who had a cup of coffee w/ the Rays in July.

TampaRaysFan-

I just have to ask. Is it that way because you are a Rays fan that lives in Tampa (that’s cool), because otherwise, we don’t take kindly to that in these parts ;-)
