OT: Football Jersey size.
I just saw some pictures taken from the first spring practice. Besides the obvious (not wanting extra material to be grabbed by defense or offence) Why in the sam-hill are the Football jerseys so dag-gum small? I have to say...it looks like we couldn’t afford jerseys that fit. What would be the rational for this?

Exhibit A as to why we, as a society, are worse off from the invention of spelling checkers.

Your correct their, my friend.
No, exhibit A as to why we are worse off from the invention of spelling checkers was his spelling of "rational".
My post was exhibit A as to why you should never use sarcasm on the internet no matter how blatant it may be.

You can't set up your argument by conceding a point (here: by stating "Beside the obvious" before alluding to the presumed heightened tacklability of brides in foofy dresses over gymnasts in leotards) and then immediately delegitimize that point--yep, that's right, the same point you just conceded to--as though it couldn't possibly explain all of the logic involved in decisions regarding tight football apparel.
Anyway, the jerseys have three critical functions.
#1--Color, number, and name the player.
#2--Keep said player well ventilated relative to other materials and jersey cut styles.
#3--Keep said player on his feet more often by way of a tighter, less tacklable fit.
Given that critical function #1 will be difficult for any jersey to fail to satisfy and given that critical function #2 is unlikely to involve material lengths, I believe we are left with a single critical function (#3 for those playing at home) to single-handedly explain why our football team looks like they couldn't afford jerseys that fit.

Sure, they're warm, fashionable and popular, but why do so many students at Michigan own North Face fleece jackets?
