And all the people here who think we should wear black jerseys because the players like it should contemplate what the players would think of dropping the University of Dead Fake Girlfriends from the schedule. I'm willing to bet a lot of money that 99+ percent would oppose that. Like everybody else, they consider the University of Dead Fake Girlfriends a big stage, and they want to be on it.

Maybe the players play harder in the black jerseys.  We're undefeated in the black jerseys.  Would you rather be 12-2 in regular jerseys or 13-1 (at least) in black jerseys?

I think this is a false dilemma.  When I got a new pair of sneakers when I was a little boy, I felt that I could run faster and jump higher, but in reality I couldn't.  To think that the color of our uniform has even a minute effect on the outcome of any game can really only be based on superstition.  Undefeated when we wear black?  I would emphasize that correlation is not causation.

Hell, Cornfed, as a little boy I felt that way when I put on a brand new pair of socks.  Let's not even talk about how I felt putting on a new pair of tighty whiteys!

Careful, my friend.  We are getting awfully close to that invisible line between good-natured banter and lewd and lascivious imagery.  The admin's finger is poised above our delete buttons!!  But if sneakers could improve my running and jumping, then .  .  .  .  .  .hmmm
