It was also tweeted last night that the on-field ceremony will take place before the game, not at halftime. So get to your seat early if you want to see it. I have not heard yet how early the ceremony will take place, if it's before the band starts their usual routine or after, or how long the ceremony should take.

EVERYBODY PANIC NEW UNIFORMS
Here's what appears to be a great pic from the Cotton Bowl that season. So should we expect the striped pants? Plain red/white jersey? Surely they won't put the old Hog on the helmets (as awesome as that would be)?

Ok.
Sounds like when Jordan went from 23 to 45 after he retired the first time. Of course he ended up going back. Number change worked out pretty well for Kobe though.

I was very impressed and a little disappointed he took no jabs at Ohio State.

The New York streets are just full of crazy people. When I was there last a dude just wanted to come up to my group and rap for us. One guy in our group humored him while the rest of us backed away slowly.
No, really, do the opposite of whatever he said, Coach.

I see McFain and I think McBain from the Simpsons
I'd think his leg would be plenty strong enough.

Toliver will never takes his helmet off during a game again.

Are we at the point yet where respect can only come from wins? Would playing Alabama close earn the program any respect? I'm not sure.

I suggest guarding Cooper.
