denard doesn't seem happy about being 0/3... like the new gear there trying out
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:19 AM ^
Oh great...with Denard under center even Van Bergen can catch him.
WHITE PANTS! NEW UNIFORM OUTRAGE GOES HERE!
This post needs the "dong forest" tag.
I was hoping for a more in depth video, but it will do for now to feed my football needs. I love the competition between players like RVB and Denard. Stuff like that makes you better and we definitely need that, especially on defense.

White practice pants! AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!! I hate Adidas!!!

EDIT: Dammit, Tripp!

Nike is so much better.
/s
But seriously.
March 23rd, 2011 at 12:03 PM ^
Well, with Nike we could have a pro combat uni with claws exploding out the shoulder and a steel-colored winged helmet to reflect the regions auto-producing heritage. We're missing out.
They know the fanbase all too well. How many emails do you think the athletic department will get from people who were so outraged that they turned the video off before they explained the pants? Over under set at 50.
They won't order them. They'd only be able to wear them for one game before labor day.
March 23rd, 2011 at 12:56 PM ^
LOL! +amillion
fashion discussions were an off -color topic ! Actually now that I think about it ... they should be !
Go Blue !
I will remember this comment, and in the future, if real upvotes come back, I will posbang you for it.

Wasn't there a comment from a lineman before the 2009 Iowa game about never wanting to wear white pants? I can't remember who said it, but it was something along the lines of "some of us lineman already have body issues, and you want us to put on white pants on national TV? There's no way we're ever doing that."

Hoke wants to bring competition at every position, seems like the same stuff RR preached for three years.
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:37 AM ^
that german polar bear cub?
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:43 AM ^
Just to soon, man.

Knut died?!
That's horrible news. Now I know how that MGoPoster felt when I told him Mr. Rogers was dead.
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:26 AM ^
Starting Oline in that clip looked like
LT-Taylor Lewan
LG-Ricky Barnum
C-Rocko Khoury
RG-Patrick Omameh
RT-Michael Schofield
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:56 AM ^
Plug Molk in there and that sounds good to me. I think we should be excited if Scofield seizes the RT spot from 5th year man Huyge.
March 23rd, 2011 at 12:11 PM ^
Huyge will be an important piece regardless of whether he starts or not. He has experience and is versatile enough to play a couple different spots on the OL, and he would be a key backup if he did not start.
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:38 AM ^
a QB scramble I saw at about 1:33? I like it!
Also, I'm pretty pumped to see how Devin Gardner has progressed.
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:54 AM ^
Strong arm to make that throw on a rope running left.
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:42 AM ^
Its a Good Sign that the D-Line is applying pressure to the qb's but is that a bad sign for the O-Line not protecting the qb long enough or not strong enough? I cant wait until the media can go to a practice and watch so we can get more information about who has improved and what may need improving over the summer.
GO Blue!!!!!
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:55 AM ^
I wouldn't worry about that. It is only the first practice with pads on for this season. It is probably just a drill that lets Denard know that he only has so much time in the pocket and to scramble once he sees it falling apart. No need to fret over that yet.
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:09 AM ^
I don't think it's a bad sign. Remember, RVB is a 5th year senior 290 lb DE, he's not exactly a scrub. I think it's a good sign that he's doing such a good job getting to the QB. If that's something he's really working on, he could be a great asset on the DL.
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:24 AM ^
"Defense looked stout."
"OMG! The offense is gonna suck!"
"Offense looked great today."
"OMG! The defense is regressing!"
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:26 AM ^
I'd add to what people are saying with the thought that at this point in the season, the defense should be ahead of the offense a little. I would be more worried if our offense was running roughshod out there.
Denard was sacked in that clip due to the pressure first applied by Martin that he side stepped. I would not be worried that Mike "Beastly" Martin is beating Khoury.
If anything I was impressed with Denard side stepping the DT rush and inserting himself back in the pocket.
March 23rd, 2011 at 10:44 AM ^
PLEASE BRING BACK NIKE!!
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:19 AM ^

No offense to Adidas, but I like Nike better.

Adidas trying to capitalize on the Lloyd Brady craze with the white pants
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:32 AM ^
MOAR FOOTBAWLL!!!!!
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:43 AM ^
If having Addidas means that we will never have "combat" uniforms for us then I will never say a word against them.
Also, love Denard and RVB arguing over sacks!
March 23rd, 2011 at 12:10 PM ^
You spelled it Addidas twice.
March 23rd, 2011 at 12:50 PM ^
You will be happy to know I work professionally as a college instructor and professional fact checker. Incompetence!
March 23rd, 2011 at 11:58 AM ^
I gotta say, I kinda like the white pants. Go ahead and kill me know
March 23rd, 2011 at 12:15 PM ^
Im with you. I love white pants. Dont really care what other people think. All white would look sweet. Not saying to wear that every road game, but still, theres nothing wrong switching the style up once in a while.
All white would look a little odd with our helmet. Personally I think the helmet locks us into "choose your decade shade" of maize pants.
March 23rd, 2011 at 12:39 PM ^
Looks like RVB has been spending a lot of time trying to corner rabbits lately
Great -- considering that we tied for 10th in the country (and tied for 1st in the Big Ten) in sacks allowed last year, cannot wait to see that go "downhill." Reminds me of that article about how RR's offense sometimes resulted in wide receivers being wide open -- as if that is a bad thing. (In fairness to Hoke-Borges, SDSU was tied for 5th in country in sacks allowed, althought I'm wracking my brain to think of all those stout MWC defenses they faced.)
when does the contract expire with adidas, that way we can become a nike school again
deal back in 08 i may be wrong on the length but it should end in 2016. I'm hoping they put an option to opt out of the contract 3 years before so we can go back to Nike though.
