Wow! You guys really embrace the plain look. Throw a logo on the helmet!

It's all about embracing our "humble beginnings" as a school in 1906 and a reborn football team in 1982. We had no money and the "stripe" on our helmets were athletic tape. 171-32 home record vs various fancy uniforms.

Eh. I'd buy that if it wasn't a blatant Alabama knock off.

Eh. Speaking of blatant knock offs .... gotta love that coming from a guy who calls himself Dr. Gonzo. Bet HST would kick your ass for that.

As for Georgia Southern's uniforms, I hope they never change.

I would think that having his picture as my avatar is adequate attribution for the alias. And the late HST and I would have gotten on VERY well.

Who is HST. I ask because I really do not know.

Hunter S. Thompson, writer and artist. His style was referred to as "gonzo", becase it was out there. Came through during the era of the counter culture; one of those provocative Playboy writer types. Flying Dog beer bottles use to feature the same artist that worked on his books. A couple of his books were made in to movies, including the autobiographical "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" with Johnny Depp. That's my non googled version.

I haven't seen a helmet in this conference that I didn't like.

One of the greatest American writers and as journalists of all time. His style involving participatory journalism and his coverage of topics ranging from the Hells Angels to campaign trails in the 70's were given the stylistic name "Gonzo."
He also lived fast refused to curtail his party-rich habits, even while in the middle of the work. Sometimes, as is the case in FAL in Las Vegas, the drugs themselves became the journalistic subject. He stated in interviews that it was in the best interest of the common good that he smoke a joint at that very moment. We was brilliant. He was insane. He was an absolutely fascinating character.

Nether have I. They all look pretty sharp to me. One of my favorites is Georgia State's from the last couple of years. Hope they don't go chrome.

It's just not as common now, but it was more the norm at one time. So we're throw back, not copycats !
Georgia Southern:

Alabama 1960

Arkansas 1958-63

Auburn 1961-65

Florida 1963

Kentucky 1963-68

I've been on a little vacation from the board this off season, but I will be back in full force very soon. To those of you who have continually participated in this Eagle/Mountaineer feud that's spilled over into way too many unrelated threads...ya'll aren't going to like me.

We have a Smack section to our community here for a reason. I suggest that those of you who want to rile up your rival's fan base do so in there. If this thread hijacking doesnt stop we're going to see a big reduction in GaSo and App posters here on SunBeltbbs.

That is not an empty threat so don't test me.

To everyone else, "Hugs and Kisses, miss y'all!"

I understand the part about GSU, but have App fans really done anything? Or are you just lumping us together since we're both move ups?

The short answers, yes especially the last question. I know GS has really had some tools on here early on. But, we have certainly not been the only offenders. I have seen some pretty obvious violations of "the rules" by posters from most every fan base against each other too not necessarily us, but seems as GS and to a lesser extent App are the villains here. New kids on the block have to be put in their place I guess. Anyway,
Looking forward to our annual clash... on the field that is.

I think why the Georgia Southern group is picked out because the irritating ones you had, were REALLY irritating.

App fans had a few stragglers of "you are nothing, kneel before YOSEF!" types, but overall both fanbases have been really cordial.

Just the few bad apples spoiling the bunch and putting everyone on 'defensive' mode.

Kinda like what I did for the Texas State fans.

Dude.... GaSo/Bama is uncanny when it comes to uni's. Just like Delaware/Michigan.

Every other SBC uni combo is unique.

How are you liking those Miami uniforms?

Don't pull a muscle reaching so far.

Also, the new Nike Pro Combat App Uni's are a new and unprecedented design. Enjoy your Bama knockoffs . Simple, like your students and alums.

We'll be bringing these "knockoffs" and a beatdown to boone in a few weeks!

I forgot what it was like to lose to Georgia Southern. I don't expect to be reminded this year.

Unfortunately, and ironically, I'll be missing Black Saturday this year for a wedding () -- the first home game I've missed since the last time you beat us at KBS.

Bring the "knockoffs" and we will gladly give you a beatdown...

To detract from the App/GaSouth debate I finally found the picture of our new gloves



Comparison is the old gloves in my sig.

I had to miss the spring game this year due to a wedding and I thought that was bad. Missing the the rival home game of the year, that I could not bear. Oh, and we will work on that memory for you.
