Title: Pre-season NFL Football Has Begun....
Post by: RWS on August 09, 2009, 09:57:19 PM
Tennessee is beating the piss out of Buffalo, 21-6 in the 3rd quarter. I know this is only pre-season, but Buffalo looks like shit right now. I'm not all that big on the NFL, but I would watch any live football right now. Absolutely cannot wait for NCAA ball to start.

I was watching with the sound off.  Why were the refs wearing orange and blue jerseys and orange "AU" caps?

The Hall of Fame Game 2009 is particularly special this year because it pays tribute to the American Football League's 50th anniversary season. For those of you who may not know, the two teams facing off tonight - the Tennessee Titans and the Buffalo Bills - are charter members of the American Football League (AFL), which merged with the National Football League (NFL) back in 1970 (which spawned the birth of the American Football Conference (AFC)). To that end, the two teams will be rocking throwback uniforms during tonight's Hall of Fame Game 2009. (The Titans started off as the Houston Oilers, so they will be wearing vintage Oilers uniforms.)

The orange and white ref uniforms were the colors of the original uniforms worn during this period as well.

The "A" is from "AFL"... not AU.

The more you know...

Looked distinctly Auburn to me.  I was jazzed about the national coverage.  Then you stomped on my dreams.  Fucker.

Stomping on dreams, one post at a time.  :silence:

Vince Young needs to get his resume together.
