Welcome to the Avatar Bowl

The new school West Point football unis


Rodney Dangerfield once told this joke: I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out. After watching the uniforms Boise State and TCU rocked the in the Fiesta Bowl, he might have said something different. “I turned on my Xbox and a college football game broke out.”

On the other hand, the NFL is the No Fun Leaguewhen it comes to uniforms.. Players are expected to resemble storm troopers in their uniformity. Should they step outside the line, they get fined by the uniform police. Interesting fact: Merton Hanks, the long-necked former pro bowl San Francisco 49er defensive back, is the head of the uniform police.

Even old school college fans can appreciate, or lament, the “new college try.” Teams like Oregon, TCU and even the service academies give us something to talk about on the field … other than the game itself. Poor Joe Paterno, the first thing he'll do when he's finally buried is roll over in his grave.
