Good!!

On a side note, anybody remember the UW v UofI game a few years ago? Red on orange. I had to turn it off.

Ugh. Not time for those baby blues.

I love the baby blue jerseys and they look awesome but too BIG of a game. I think the teams are extremely similar this year and this will be close. What is our record in the baby blues? Like one win. Hopefully this "decision" is a rumor.

Love the choice.. Big Game, gotta look good for tv

If anyone is implying they are unlucky, you are a fool.

I believe we wore the baby blues when we destroyed Louisville at home a couple years ago. Hopefully Buzz breaks out the matching blazer.

Don't you mean B1G?

Who cares about past records? players seem to like them, they look sweet, and it's a big game all the more reason to wear em.

Nope, home whites - I'll never forget that game. You were right on the blazer though. I wish he wore it every game but I think he only busts it out on Al's night.

Duh on me, why would we be wearing the baby blues at home. I know we've had some big wins in those unis and I do know they're Pat Forde's favorites.

We wore the baby blue at home against Florida Gulf Coast. The baby blues and gold are alternate uniforms, which can be worn home or away.

Love the baby blues, looking forward to seeing them on national tv! Wait... big1? network? Nobody is going to even see this game.

PGsHeroes32 · « **Reply #13 on:** November 30, 2011, 10:40:44 PM »

Love the uni's, not pumped for the probable loss to once again come in them.

I thought it was funny after the Jacksonville game, Buzz said something to the effect of "well, the game is on the big ten network, so that should tell you how big it is" (and I think he meant that sincerely), but if anyone thinks being on the BTN is impressive...they must be living in the the midwest.

I'd guess that Buzz thinks ESPN, ESPN2 and BTN are the only channels on TV and they only have programming from November - early March. He also refuses to believe that The Dennis Krause Show is really broadcast on television.

Love the baby blues (regardless of the record while wearing them). Honestly my favorite uniform in all of sports! Well, maybe a close second to the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders uniform...

CTWarrior · « **Reply #17 on:** December 01, 2011, 07:05:39 AM »

I guess I'm just getting old, but those baby blue uniforms are the ugliest uniforms in sports since the all-red Cleveland Indians uniforms in the 70s.

I think the white, navy and gold unis are very sharp, which makes the baby blues seem that much worse.

I love the fact that everyone goes crazy when Fulce is making that shot in the second play where Buzz is dancing. He was a solid, often unintentionally discounted staple of that team.

~~Baby blues~~ Valour blues worked okay for us here:

and in this game, too:

also, those shoes are quite SWAG.

I don't think it is age, as I love the uniforms myself. Have heard many a positive comment about the "baby blues" from fans of other teams as well. I guess to some, it brings them back to the Warrior teams of Al McGuire.

I was hoping they wore the baby blues and am EXTREMELY happy they are.

As for those who are superstitious, it seems many of those were predicting MU to lose anyway. At least if they do, this gives you a reason!

To many negative nellies this week. Bring on the Badgers. Saturday cannot get here soon enough.

It's not so much the baby blue color, it's the way it clashes with the other colors (gold, navy). North Carolina wears a similar blue but it doesn't look so bad mixed with white. The other colors on the McGuire era baby blues were much more subdued as well.

Besides, when you're going to battle I'm not sure "baby blue" is the color to use! Look at the picture of Crowder to the left. Would he look nearly as menacing in baby blue?

Just realized this, and will correct my previous post:

To channel my inner Walter Sobchak here... also, dudes, baby blue is NOT the preferred nomenclature; valour blue, please.
