You're wasting your time, don't even try

Does Brady Hoke explicitly disallow red? Or simply not wear it himself?
Serious question. Because my understanding is he doesn't wear red himself, but there's no prohibition on others having a dash of red.
Bottom line -- meh, whatever. It's all just PR. I doubt Meyer really cares. But this gets press, and press is worth money as boosters donate more because of things like this. It's all part of the process.

So...free shirt? I'm cool with that.
August 23rd, 2013 at 8:10 PM ^
but I haven't heard of that policy. I thought it was Hoke's personal choice.
August 23rd, 2013 at 8:23 PM ^
More important, why were you wearing a red shirt??!

We don't allow red. What's the difference apart from he's a copycat?That's the point right there. It was original when Hoke did it. Meyer should come up with his own ideas.
August 23rd, 2013 at 11:44 PM ^
It is becoming institutionalized. Witness, just today I played U of M golf course and the starter went out of his way to explain to us that the forward tees (for women and juniors) are no longer red. Instead they are maize. Championship are black, then there are blues, whites, and maize. This is deliberately in line with Brady's no red policy.
As an aside, the course was in beautiful shape, the weather perfect, and from the top of the course at the 10th green you could distincly hear the sounds of a spirited Wolverine football practice. A great day in A2.

Wow, some great imagery for a Friday night. Also very much looking forward to your stories when the time comes closer, on a bit of a private note.
August 26th, 2013 at 11:33 PM ^
Still on course? Great! You can contact me any time when you are ready to get fired up for this adventure. All best.
August 23rd, 2013 at 6:44 PM ^
Who cares what they do down in that dump? Try stopping Brady from marching down there in his Michigan best.
August 23rd, 2013 at 6:44 PM ^
Meyer is obviously supporting Hernandez and the Bristol Bloods.

Maybe they should change from scarlet and gray to orange and more orange...
August 23rd, 2013 at 6:48 PM ^
On the first day NFL scouts were allowed to observe Ohio State's practice this month, at least two were wearing blue. And at some point during their time in Ohio State's facility, Meyer's message about what not to wear was passed along through Ohio State and staffers and even involved some players yelling to the scouts that blue was not welcome.
If I were an OSU player I don't think I would be yelling at NFL scouts...All in all though this seems like harmless rivalry fun.
August 23rd, 2013 at 6:48 PM ^
Nice job moron, you banned jeans. One of the most common articles of clothing.
Or in the case of people in ohio, no more jorts. GASP!
August 23rd, 2013 at 6:50 PM ^
They'll just wear Zubaz instead.
August 23rd, 2013 at 7:03 PM ^
I want to +1 you so bad right now!

...when does it start again?
August 23rd, 2013 at 6:55 PM ^
What will they do when UM goes to Cbus and leaves them black and blue?
August 23rd, 2013 at 6:58 PM ^
August 23rd, 2013 at 6:58 PM ^
Let me get this straight. Players yelled at NFL scouts? What if the team scouting you...has blue in their NFL teams colors?
I can't stop laughing.

you'd better get right on it.

Sorry it isn't red, but I think it will do.

Today has led to a nice segway into my post later on about how Indiana is wearing shirts during fall camp.
Idiots.

August 23rd, 2013 at 7:01 PM ^
and the players joined in yelling at them about wearing blue? That's like yelling at the person evaluating you for a pay raise or promotion at work.
August 23rd, 2013 at 8:20 PM ^
You don't think the scouts took it in good spirits? Being able to make your interviewer laugh is a useful skill.
August 23rd, 2013 at 8:25 PM ^
Did you read their quotes? They did not take it real well.
August 23rd, 2013 at 8:28 PM ^
When they actually made them change clothes, instead of just joking about it, they probably crossed the line into "belligerent".
Like I said, making your interviewer laugh is a good skill. Pissing him off is not.

"With Ohio State rolling and entering the 2013 season at No. 2, it's Meyer's world. Those who visit don't necessarily have to pay rent, but they apparently do need to be careful with their wardrobe choices. "
To be sure, it's probably just rivalry fun taken to more zealous level than it should have been given the company, but I think this calls for someone showing up at an OSU practice with a simple white or gray t-shirt that has on it, in blue lettering, "This shirt is not blue."

Urban is pissing off NFL Scouts. That's another reason to not be a Buckeye
