This shoe is supposed to make players run faster, jump faster and fly, don't you know that it also heals ankle injuries by itself?

No, I compared Nike to Bernie "Making Money Justifies Everything" Madoff and the uniforms to Flash Gordon. I didn't say it, but I think Phil Knight ranks right up there with Ming the Merciless.

I have no problem with the fact that these uniforms might perform better, but there is nothing about the new uniforms that forces the changes away from an iconic look that the football program took great pains to create.

How was your day at work at the nike plant?

Oh well, I am just hoping that this uniform deal doesn't give the scummers any material to fire themselves up, since we are donning "special" duds in THEIR stadium. And if, as I suspect, we see pro combat as our standard uniform next year, Nike sure as hell better do a more traditional look for our buckeyes. We don't deserve to look like teams who play on friday nights.

With such an emotional high last week, if these things do get the players up, it could be a help to avoid a classic let down game.JXC;1597582; said:
With that said, if we need jerseys to get our guys up for The Game, we're in trouble.

Nike didn't have a problem when Ginn busted out black/red cleats for the 2006 Game, or Pryor wearing Mike Vick's line of shoes, or Russell wearing black/red cleats.
Nike won't (and can't) force the linemen to wear the new cleats...as for the whole team, there's no way the fashion-forward set would want to go back to the old set. Watch for a mish-mash of styles on 1/1/10.

Players have always worn a variety of shoes, and were not intended to wear the same style as a huge marketing campaign.
They already forced them to wear them this game, when I'm positive Tressel wanted no part in that timing. OSU isn't calling the shots here. Hopefully JT will ignore Nike's orders if they are a problem, but I don't see that going over well either. *postgame* Why didn't you wear the fancy new shoes Tress? ... Well, our players were rolling their ankles in them. We weren't willing to suffer more injuries just to look pretty.
Nike would LOVE that kind of negative publicity.

Half the posts are: "They're killing tradition for corporate greed! Nike is making us the Oregon of the midwest! They're disrespecting The Game etc, etc."
The other half are "Where can I get one of these? Are they sold out at ___(insert store name here)___?"
In other news FCollins was shocked to learn that half of all Buckeye fans have below average intelligence...
BTW am I the only one who finds it amusing that the company which is ostensibly a shoe manufacturer fucked up the shoes?
"Well yeah but the jerseys are 10% lighter!"

"C" is for Suspension
i dont get why people are worrying about what we look like on the field.
in my opinion i could care less if we wore telletubby costumes out there as long as we kick scUM's asses to the curb at their own place.
so everyone stop worrying about the jerseys we are wearing
