Actually also didn't we wear it for CW Bowl, too? Speaking of crapping the bed...
You might be right..... Either way Matt Campbell noticed. Probably why we are not going to wear them saturday.

Guessing if we win Saturday and then are the designated home team in Title Game we will wear black there as well. Campbell pretty superstitious I think.
As long as we keep winning and the players like them, I’m fine wearing black every single game.
So I'll just say it. After we lose in all-black (eventually it will happen), does the superstition go away?

p.s., the only negatives I should get here are from the superstitious.

We seem to have good luck in AllBlack vs WVU. So I'm ok w/ it.

That's my question, too. That and the "we always win in black." It won't last forever. ... Not saying I'd drop them completely as soon as an "L" shows up, or anything like that, but eventually it'll level off to the neighborhood of any other combo.

Or maybe it won't. Knock on wood! :D

Dumb question. That’s the first I’ve seen “Cyclones” across the Jersey. Is this a new development?

Pretty sure it's that way for all of the uniform announcements for game week.

Not dumb. I fell for that earlier in the year! The CYCLONES is there in place of the players' name, only used that way for uniform announcements that week.

Yeah, the idea that “we can’t lose in black” will eventually be proven wrong. Still, if the players like them I’m perfectly fine using the all blacks as much as will keep them happy.

Could someone take the unis the Steelers have on today and mock up for ISU?
I'm hoping you were kidding about that. But if you meant replace the Steelers gold with some version of red, I still don't think that would look good. No I think what they've done with the black is probably for the best, keep it all black (and silver, white).

I'm like many others though that wish they would include a little dark red (my mocks have that in the sleeve) in the all-black. They could take if from there if they wanted more (helmet stickers, logo, accessories). No-brainer really for me.

That was a joke because Hoks = Steelers

Yes. It is their season. So far can't complain!
