A closer look at Louisville's smokey gray uni's for the FSU game

If Adidas has their way, Louisville might well become Oregon East — at least in terms of a zillion uniform possibilities. Yesterday we gave you a sneak peak at the gray ghost ensemble the Cardinals will wear against FSU. Today, a closer look. The point is that Louisville considers this a very special game: their chance to knock off no. 2 in that nation and earn instant cred in their new conference. The combination of cool uni's and the fact that the game is played on Halloween gives it even more big event status. And you know an offensive guru like Bobby Petrino will have plenty of wrinkles the Nole defense hasn't seen.

So if it's not obvious by now, this game has TRAP written all over it. 

 

 

 

Louie-Vul going Gray for Thursday night showdown with the Noles

The Cardinals have launched an early pre-emptive strike against FSU — at least in the fashion department. Petrino's boy's will come roaring out of the tunnel in menacing...uh, gray. 

After wearing black against Miami earlier in the season, Louisville has chosen the Adidas designed "TECHFIT" uniforms for the October 30th game at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.

Louisville's media release elaborates: "Themed 'Showtime,' the threads are mostly gray with red elements, including the old English "L" and helmet logo. The jerseys are also highlighted by camouflage on the helmet and matching shoes.' (Ralph Lauren couldn't have said it better).

So will FSU respond with a unique uni statement of its own? Is there a funky/fashionable road design in the Noles' Nike wardrobe? 

Jimbo, STOP recruiting this kid

This story from USA Today tells you almost everything you need to know about 5-Star WR Darnell Salomon. Almost. Because besides obviously stealing a woman student's mobile phone while on a recruiting trip to the U. of Georgia, Salomon continues to deny it. Despite the fact it was traced to his home and that he continues to use it.

Most creepy of all is how he got the phone. According to numerous reports, like this one from the Athens Banner-Herald, Salomon entered the victim's dorm room before dawn and was standing over her watching her sleep — til she woke up in a panic.

Georgia has stopped recruiting the 5-Star WR from Hollywood, Florida. But Salomon still has a long list of scholarship offers from top programs — including FSU. So, Jimbo, if you haven't already crossed this talented but untrustworthy problem child off your list, please withdraw your offer. You'll be saving yourself sleepless nights and handfuls of hair ripped from your scalp.
