Slippery Rock at the Big House (10/18) - Uniformz
As many of you know, and for those who do not, during our bye week, Slippery Rock will be playing a game in Ann Arbor.
For the game, they have decided to wear a new uniform. "We wanted to find a unique way to show appreciation for our gracious hosts at the University of Michigan," said Mihalik. "We thought that in order to respect the Wolverines' great rivalry with Michigan State, we wouldn't wear our traditional home green uniforms in their stadium."
Instead of wearing the traditional green that has become a staple of Rock football home games, Slippery Rock will wear a specially designed all gray uniform, from head to toe.
Slippery Rock is 5-1 heading into the game, suffering their first loss of the season this past weekend.
Anyone going to the game?

for the Slippery Rock score to be announced during games, and it's one of those inexplicble things that the fans have latched onto. And Slippery Rock gets a kick out of it.
I believe this will be the 2nd game Slippery Rock has played at Michigan Stadium.
