Jalen Rose's jacket
I'm not sure if this is thread worthy, so feel free to delete. However, when college gameday started, Jalen Rose was wearing a red and white striped jacket nearly identical to the IU hoops team warm-up pants. Did he lose a bet or something? Considering this is the biggest Michigan basketball game in a long time and it is in Bloomington, I thought that was absurd. Just my thoughts. On top of the fact that relatives of mine that are graduates of IU felt the need to point out how one of the Fab 5 was donning their team's colors.

Michigan fans bitching about clothing choices.
If this bothers you, I don't want to know you.
February 2nd, 2013 at 10:37 AM ^
Answer is in this picture. He borrowed it from the guy in the matching pants behind him. Apocalypse averted.
February 2nd, 2013 at 1:30 PM ^
Has put on some lbs!!
February 2nd, 2013 at 1:53 PM ^
How big is the guy he borrowed it from? Jalen's a big dude!
February 2nd, 2013 at 10:28 AM ^
also, i caught a glimpse of his socks:
what is happening???
February 2nd, 2013 at 10:39 AM ^
Is it weird that Jalen's legs turn me on?
February 2nd, 2013 at 12:32 PM ^
Yeah, he must work out.
February 2nd, 2013 at 10:32 AM ^
OMG he is doing it because we won't put up the banners!!! He must be changing his allegiance to IU!!
February 2nd, 2013 at 10:40 AM ^
Was it this?
February 2nd, 2013 at 10:43 AM ^
Those are some sweet threads, for circa 1994 at least. Somebody should've fixed the tuck on his shirt, though. Maybe the photog was a rookie then, too.
February 2nd, 2013 at 10:56 AM ^
Not that, but that is quite impressive.
February 2nd, 2013 at 3:29 PM ^
I often use this picture as a background on my phone
February 2nd, 2013 at 10:40 AM ^
Somehow, I just don't feel terribly invested in what Jalen wears on TV. It must be your chain he's yanking, not mine.
February 2nd, 2013 at 10:42 AM ^
...Has all red uniforms with white outline numbers...
OMG could both teams (ADIDAS) wear them tonight? All-Red Indiana vs. All-Maize Michigan?!!
/headexplodes.
February 2nd, 2013 at 11:29 AM ^
I think IU said they would never wear alternates in response to the picture of those all red ones. U never know tho
February 2nd, 2013 at 6:23 PM ^
You're more likely to see them wear them on the road @ Crisler in round II.
February 2nd, 2013 at 10:45 AM ^
Jalen giving the edge to Michigan in almost every category lol EDIT: actually, he chose IU in the last 3. oops. Anyone see that one Michigan fan in the crowd?
Also, why isn't there an "Official College Gameday Discussion thread" posted?
February 2nd, 2013 at 10:44 AM ^
No Brady Hoke...red is in jalen's clothing attire unfortunately...Go Blue!
February 2nd, 2013 at 10:51 AM ^
Uh oh, Lloyd Carr in the Iowa press box thinks that is some Benedict Arnold ish! I heard when Jalen put on the jacket he could finally appreciate the beauty of a "good, honest, two-hand chest pass."
February 2nd, 2013 at 11:10 AM ^
I heard that Lloyd, Jalin, and that EMU trustee were all on a conference call with Izzo just before the show!
February 2nd, 2013 at 10:55 AM ^
Not So Fast...
It's kind of obvious.
This thread is the exact reaction he was looking for...good work OP.
February 2nd, 2013 at 11:05 AM ^
Obviously.
February 2nd, 2013 at 11:08 AM ^
wearing?
February 2nd, 2013 at 11:16 AM ^
It's music to my ears to hear someone say "Florida is in a weak league and if they played in this (B1G) league they would lose". Just can't wait until people are saying that about football in addition to CBB.
February 2nd, 2013 at 11:16 AM ^
I'm not worried. I saw him put on maize underwear this morning through his hotel room window.
February 2nd, 2013 at 11:25 AM ^
My roommate (an IU alumn) swears that Jalen wanted to go to Indiana, but Knight wouldn't offer him. Any truth to this? I couldn't find anything. Or is my buddy trolling me?
February 2nd, 2013 at 11:31 AM ^
Your buddy is trolling you.
February 2nd, 2013 at 12:10 PM ^
A new roommate
February 2nd, 2013 at 11:29 AM ^
He's not wearing it now
February 2nd, 2013 at 11:38 AM ^
As long as Jalen doesn't claim he went the University of Lloyd Carr's Indiana University of Michigan, I think we're good.
February 2nd, 2013 at 11:43 AM ^
Are there any Michigan fans there?!?!? I was desperately trying to find a ride just so I could go there and hold up a 4 foot poster of Jalen in his Fab Five days
February 2nd, 2013 at 3:55 PM ^
I saw the maize teletubbies. That's a start.
February 2nd, 2013 at 8:21 PM ^
Nah those guys were wearing Indiana pants, thought it was them too
February 2nd, 2013 at 11:54 AM ^
Well, that was awkward. Anyone catch him calling out Digger Phelps for not recruiting him? Even before that segment, i thought Digger has this smug look on his face, like he doesn't want to have anything to do with Jalen, or anything he says.
I take issue with what digger phelps said. He's a good coach, and so is Coach K obviously. But there's something to be said about coaches who take on the Jalen's of the world and try to have a positive influence in their lives.
February 2nd, 2013 at 12:00 PM ^
Jalen called you out.
February 2nd, 2013 at 12:00 PM ^
Jalen picked Michigan!!!!!
February 2nd, 2013 at 12:35 PM ^
Don't be alarmed. I am an IU student who happens to absolutely love Michigan. That jacket Jalen was wearing belongs to my roommate. We asked all of the panel to wear the jacket during College Gameday and Jalen was the only one cool enough to wear it. Afterwards he was kind enough to take some pictures with us and sign autographs.
February 2nd, 2013 at 4:54 PM ^
Pics, man, or else, ya know...IT DIDNT FUCKING HAPPEN!
February 2nd, 2013 at 12:35 PM ^
It's TV folks. It's ENTERTAINMENT. It's all staged. It's Holtz vs. May. It's Jalen vs. Digger. It's anything possible not to be boring so that you don't change the channel.
Have fun with it and don't get your undies in a bunch. Jalen in the red and white jacket was a hoot.
February 2nd, 2013 at 12:38 PM ^
It was not staged at all. When we (my roommates and I) asked Jalen to wear the jacket the ESPN manager at first said no but he insisted when the fans chanted "wear the jacket."
February 2nd, 2013 at 1:02 PM ^
I didn't mean the jacket. I meant the animosity and forced controversy between Jalen and Digger, Holtz and May, etc. It's part of the show.
February 2nd, 2013 at 4:10 PM ^
Holtz and May day like each other though, you can tell. Digger and Jalen... there really seems to be some animosity there.
February 3rd, 2013 at 1:05 PM ^
Yes, Digger (and Packer) absolutely hated the Fab Five.
February 2nd, 2013 at 10:18 PM ^
Best post in years
February 2nd, 2013 at 12:46 PM ^
I'm really dissapointed in Mr. Rose, I heard somewhere that he likes Nic Cage movies :/
February 2nd, 2013 at 12:59 PM ^
The same person told me Trey Burke listens to Nickelback.
February 2nd, 2013 at 1:02 PM ^
IDK if you guys knew this, but apparently our fight song is really Fail to the victors.
I am so disheartened.
February 2nd, 2013 at 1:04 PM ^
Does Indiana even have a fight song?
If so, is there something about a chair in it?
February 2nd, 2013 at 1:12 PM ^
"When Folding Chairs Fly." It's kind of a Prince thing. Steamy beat.
