Nike Jerseys Suck! Adidias sleeves look much better. Bout the same on tightness. Material for Adidias is also better and more durable than the Nike. I'm not a Nike band wagoner.

I agree, I do not like the skin tight jerseys. Hopefully we will switch to Nike. Anyone know when the contract is up?

Why the hell would you not want a skin tight jersey? Dlinemen are held on every play. Why would you want to make it easier? Does it not make sense that its harder to be held with a tight jersey?? Come on

I think Fulmer signed it until 2013. Recruits also like Nike and Under Armour a lot better. Plus they make better gear for us fans than Adidas.

I think D-linemen managed fine for 100+ years before tech fit or pro combat jerseys existed.

Yeah but this day and age every little advantage helps, not to mention it helps from defenders grabbing handfuls of jersey on our ball carriers

But it looks funny. I say we hurry up and switch to Nike so we can get black and purple uniforms with neon socks.

Glad to hear that. Recruiting players like this I feel are putting this program back in the right direction.

Do you Alabama, Penn St., or USC wearing crazy uniforms? The school has a say in keeping the uniforms traditional.

Say what you want but Oregon and TCU were fresh in the BCS bowl games. Recruits love uniforms like that. I'm down with tradition but the uniforms they were rocking were too fresh. Numbers on the sleeves of the body armour. But back to J.Williams I think he'll be a first round pick if he stays healthy. He's big, fast, physical, and he plays nasty. Good pickup Dooley!!!

Based on an article from TOS, it sounds like his visit went really well. Even though they were already sold on Tennessee, his family (mom, dad and sister) was really impressed. Williams plans to enroll in June.

Williams: "I was locked in before but now I'm sold."

Yeah, Oregon and TCU have been killing it on the recruiting trail over the years....
