I hope to see a sea of green in the stands this Saturday! And hope the green jerseys work this time!

Not a fan of the green jerseys. It just seems too gimmicky to me and perhaps even a distraction from being focused on the important thing. Play it straight and just go out and kick ass.

I agree, indiscriminate use of the green jerseys detracts from their intent.

Willingham was 8-0 when he pulled them out of storage ! WHY ?

And they’re best used when nobody knows that the team will come out of the tunnel wearing them.

I favor Kelly green versus the brighter Oregon green
