Bring back the maize road pants
I have no problem with Jim Harbaugh continuing to coach Michigan football for the foreseeable future. However, his failure to win the big road games means he has lost the right to dictate the color of our road pants. Simply put, it's time to bring back the maize pants.
I realize the white road pants are an obscure reference to one good Bo team from 50 years ago. Hey, I like cool one-off throwbacks as much as the next guy. Except instead of one-offs, apparently we are now Penn State, from a pants standpoint.
Personally I would prefer the maize pants.

Shut the fuck up
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:20 PM ^
I agree
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:20 PM ^
I'll shoot him a text and let him know that you're concerned
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:21 PM ^
Shut the fuck up
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:22 PM ^
Shut the fuck up
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:22 PM ^
Am I getting this correct? Random internet poster decides it's OK for Harbaugh to continue coaching, but has simultaneously lost his right to determine road uniform pants colors?
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I cannot wait for the off-season. Multiple daily posts on best practices for canine anal gland expression will be a refreshing change.

You gotta do that for dogs too? Every time our cat needs that we take him to the vet, lol

I'd rather get rid of the stupid helmet stickers that muddy up our beautiful helmets than bringing back Maize pants.
December 2nd, 2019 at 2:09 PM ^
Ya, I'd have to agree. They just muck it up, don't they? Maybe one sticker should count for 5 good plays or something
December 2nd, 2019 at 7:24 PM ^
whats your opinion on the helmet numbers, I loved those the first year of Hoke and was very sad to see them go.
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:26 PM ^
I prefer the white pants. Maize pants aren't going to make us win a big road game.
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:27 PM ^
Saquon Barkley agrees.

The UM color scheme is Maize and Blue. NOT WHITE. Our home and away uniforms should be variations of those colors and those colors only. This allows for four combinations that should be enough to differentiate from any other team's color scheme. Blue/Maize, Maize/Blue, Maize/Maize and Blue/Blue all look amazing with the distinctive winged helmet.
White/White looks too much like PSU and White/Maize is meh at best (White/Blue would even look better for contrast).
One-off color scheme variations like the Nike Combat uniforms that may include white are acceptable.
Get rid of white as a regular uniform color.
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:28 PM ^
I disagree but you raise an interesting point. Who is more responsible for Saturday's debacle: Lloyd Carr or white pants for our road uniforms?
DISCUSS!

My wife. She scheduled our son's birthday party for the same time as The Game, so I wasn't able to give it my full attention.
First time I looked away from the TV Nordin missed the PAT. It was all downhill from there.
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:38 PM ^
Oh about that, just to clarify,
Harbaugh's strategy was to run that play the week before Ohio State, so that Ohio State would see the play, thus be ultra-alert and prepared to defend it, ensuring that it would not be open against Ohio State, further ensuring that the only impact having the play in the arsenal would be to make our extra-point team have additional shit to do to set up for one PAT, that the kicker missed because of it, while causing OSU not even a minor irritation of any kind because they were going to be on alert for the play anyway having just saw us run it, needlessly, the week before. And all of this to secure no discernible advantage to our team of any kind, and in fact, only make the easiest play of the entire game harder for ourselves.
I just want to make sure that I understood the theory behind it.
Not entirely sure that Harbaugh has this whole "putting it on film" thing down yet.
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:46 PM ^
How about just lining up and kicking the fucking extra point?
Save the deception for times it matters.
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:49 PM ^
Uh... yeah. That is what I am saying, read the post.
It looked to me like Harbaugh seriously thought "oh shit I need to do something cool for the OSU game trickeration-gamesmanship thing" and truly did not understand how what he did made absolutely no sense at all.
December 2nd, 2019 at 5:05 PM ^
Yep, that was some straight up bullshit and really embarrassing. Missing the extra point was the justification.
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:47 PM ^
Online courses.
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:30 PM ^
I personally like the white pants. I think it looks really clean. But, to each their own.
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:32 PM ^
I was liking that all the posts were basketball related until this stupid shit.
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:37 PM ^
Never liked the white pants to begin with
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:37 PM ^
We just got our asses handed to us by OSU again and yet, here you are worried about maize pants. Just shut the fuck up.
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:37 PM ^
We were wearing maize pants the last time we won in Columbus, so obviously that's the solution.
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:44 PM ^
I'm of belief we should go back to the standard M/OSU number styles as OSU currently uses, like years past... Harbaugh's numbers with the slanted 4s and 1s and 7s are annoying and it looks lesser.... In fact, I'd like to see those mesh jerseys from 1997, that were part transparent and you could see the pads...
And yes, bring back the road yellow pants... our road record has been so poor that its only logical to return to tradition...
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:49 PM ^
You could just say our old font instead of saying theirs.
Again, it’s never forward thinking. God forbid we change something with the uniforms like an all-Maize permanent alternate like every other team has here.
December 2nd, 2019 at 4:13 PM ^
Just nuke the whole thing and start all over again.......blue pants!
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:46 PM ^
I kind of like the white pants since it makes the helmets standout more.
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:46 PM ^
Yeah the color of the pants is why we can’t win big games on the road or beat osu in football.
It’s never forward with many people. It’s always backwards. Part of the problem.
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:49 PM ^
well.... it wasn't a coincidence that the pistons franchise tanked, after they dumped their identity red/blue and went TEAL.... or.... when the rams won super bowl...the owner changes jerseys to muted dark blue and gold....and they tanked..... it affects the identity, albiet small, but it does...especially when its coming from great success.....
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:51 PM ^
Ok, let’s go back to Maize pants on the road. Last seen losing 7 straight on the road at OSU.
Problem solved guyz
December 2nd, 2019 at 2:06 PM ^
Wrong WD. We obviously need to switch to gray pants. Maybe a scarlet, white, and dash of black stripe down the side. That'll get us on the winning track!
December 2nd, 2019 at 3:14 PM ^
The Pistons tanked after they went teal?
Averaged 29 wins per year and missed the playoffs for 3 straight years 92-95.
Won 46 games and made the playoffs as a 7 seed in 95/96, last year before the teal.
Won 54 games and made the playoffs as a 5 seed in 96/97, first year of teal.
Made the playoffs in 3/5 years wearing teal after missing the playoffs 3/4 years directly before the teal.
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:46 PM ^
Rationale is silly, but goal is sound. Maize road pants were always better.
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:50 PM ^
Either way is fine with me. Michigan was great at being 9-3 with Maize pants too!
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:56 PM ^
When we lose by 50 the next time we’ll at least look suave. Let me guess you want to retain Harbaugh too? Lol
December 2nd, 2019 at 2:50 PM ^
mikey the troll.
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:58 PM ^
All whites rule. If we're gonna lose on the road, we may as well look dope AF.
December 2nd, 2019 at 2:22 PM ^
I hope you're talking jerseys & pants there, pal.
December 2nd, 2019 at 1:59 PM ^
This fan base is the most pathetic group of individuals I’ve ever come across. WD and RGard are the king and queen cunts of the lot. Ya’ll should get a STD and IQ test.
December 2nd, 2019 at 2:32 PM ^
Mikey, you left your webcam on again. What are you doing to that chicken?
December 2nd, 2019 at 2:15 PM ^
I disagree. We looked ridiculous in the 2017 PSU game. Keep the white pants on the road.
December 2nd, 2019 at 2:46 PM ^
No doubt. The maize pants looked great on previous Nike and Adidas away jerseys, but the current road jersey absolutely calls for white pants.
Looks great.
December 2nd, 2019 at 2:20 PM ^
Good thing you decided he can keep coaching.
Does anybody have a differing opinion, where Harbaugh should be fired, but kept on as a fashion consultant?
December 2nd, 2019 at 2:22 PM ^
I miss the maize road pants. Current road uniforms do look too much like ped state.
December 2nd, 2019 at 2:25 PM ^
Love the all whites.
December 2nd, 2019 at 2:44 PM ^
You're wrong and this is a stupid post.
