What is the "uniform surprise"?

As this is a combination of references to their Rose Bowl helmet from 2011 and an homage to their opener in Ireland, they understand that 4-leaf clovers don't have anything to do with Ireland, right? Is this just a "ND has a trademark on shamrocks on helmets" thing?

If you read something that sounds insane on Twitter from someone you don't know, you should probably check to see if it's "satire" before spreading it.

"Satire" meaning "lies" on Twitter for some reason.
Even if this was true, Oregon would never let this happen.

What if they introduced something that could be added to a tweet to let the reader know, like a *Sat* tag. That little twitter club should understand everyone isn't going to know all the informal rules.

If you're sincerely asking, the "satire" thing is just a front to share misinformation without getting hit by Twitter's moderation. You buy a blue check mark and make your profile pic a generic white guy in a suit so that you look like a journalist, you share incorrect information that's going to inflame people, you get engagement from people who don't know it's fake --> profit for the poster who gets metrics. Twitter also has no incentive to correct this because they also profit from the misinformation being shared because misplaced anger = engagement = profit.

Take this exact pattern to political social media and this is why our country feels like it's in perpetual hell when in actuality things are largely good to great.

This why the NCAA can’t be taken serious. They worry about this shit instead of true issues.


For a second I seriously thought "Damn, the blue hairs won..."

I'm not a fan of all alternate uniforms, but the players generally like them and they're basically extra revenue when fans buy them up each year they're available. Money talks, there's no way they're getting rid of them. I still have my #9 green 2005 USC game jersey, thinking about framing it and finally starting my ND basement.

That should have been the first room done when you built! Lol
