I understand about keeping up with the Jones and recruiting.
That being said, I say [Bleeeeep!] the new uniforms and helmets.
If anything go back to the classic look from the early 80's .....and win some games.
New duds don't mean anything if they continue to play .500 ball.

Although I agree with you it will never happen. Lets face it we are just bitter old folks smile

The fact of the matter is that this is exactly what recruits expect and makes a huge impact on being able to recruit nationally.

The days of "owning" the state no longer exists along with the days of stealing a Steve Emtmen because no one ever saw him play in Cheney are also long gone!

You can also kiss the 12:30 start times for the same reason. If Sark could schedule every game on primetime ESPN Monday thru Saturday he would for the same reason. One reason Wa has had back to back excellent recruiting classes is that exposure on "blackout" Thursday nights. High School kids just think it's the bomb!!

This is reality in big time recruiting so us old farts just need to get the memo wink
