Northwestern should have claimed they needed to wear white to honor blah blah blah. It can be a victim-off. As a matter of fact, don’t bother playing the game, just declare the winner to be the team with the most “disadvantaged” players.
Surely this is a joke...
A team had to place somewhere other than their home stadium... BFD...
Representing the chocolate city wearing white?
Chicago never misses an opportunity to displease.
I’m confused. Is it they wanted to wear “throwback” uniforms WITH the decal?
I’m pretty sure the home team chooses what to wear. I don’t know how NW would get to determine who wore what for a road game.
I saw a game last year? where the away team didn’t wear the proper uniforms. They were charged with a timeout at the very beginning of the game and another timeout at the beginning of the 2nd half.
The Northwestern coach said in his presser today that he talked to the Tulane coach yesterday. Also pointed out that he went to NOLA to help with the cleanup from Katrina when he was in college. The goofy accusation that somehow Northwestern was “disrespecting” NOLA is the Tulane coach trying to get the local community to pay attention to his program.
Much ado about nothing. Not Katrina, mind you, that was something. But uniforms, meh.
There were far more things that occurred prior to Katrina that made this not the most devastating natural, but in my eyes, the most devastating human caused disaster in history. The total incompetence of the Mayor (failed to declare an emergency early so as to trigger systems to evacuate citizens, delayed in taking federal assistance), the lack of renovating the levy’s on Lake Pontchartrain (know inadequacies for decades). I’m sure there is more, but I wanted to highlight the big ones. I’m not losing sight of the fact that this was and is a demoncrat run city, and won’t let others try to sell me on the natural disaster part.
My friends and relatives know when they ask me for something and I say “No” that is the end of the conversation. I don’t have to provide a reason. They asked, I answered, period.
It’s been 20 years . Get over it.
