I for one am happy for green turf, color the endzones if you must, but not the field.

I looks like Charleys "dark days" are truly behind us now.

I've noticed all of the ads now seem to have the maroon helmets, so looking like those will be the primary. Big fan of that. Won't be too sad to see the black go!

Am I reading this right? Umass is going to have Green Uniforms?

WTF is this? Umass is Marron and White - just wear your school colors forchrissakes...

^ No, the turf is going to be green (and not colored something absurd like Boise State).

If I didn't know better I would think this post was a joke.

On this board, it's sometimes difficult to differentiate between a real statement and a joke.

Charley made way too many changes way too soon to put his fingerprint on the program. I'm glad to see the program and Athletics make changes to bring football alums back. Reinstating the old color scheme, bringing in alumni to his coaching staff, and improved outreach to alumni are three things Whipple and Athletcs have done to help mend fences, not just with alums but with fans in general.

Excellent !! The Classic Uniform is by far the best look!

Changing things up just for the sake of changing things up often produces terrible results. e.g. the all maroon uni. Complete FUBAR.

As a mostly basketball person (but I did go to 3 games at Gillette last year), I have a $$ question. If I remember correctly, we are getting $850K for playing at Penn State. Are we paying the big schools that come to Gillette, and if so, how much?

Maybe it's been stated, but I can't recall it.
