I do have a funny bone, I've got Scottish DNA... but I draw the line at racial jokes. It's very personal to me given my ancestors endurance of persecution for being Jewish.He's Black. He calls himself black. He's wearing a tan suit. Black and Tan. Grow a funny bone.
I am a white male (well, technically Native American) with five adopted African American brothers from Sudan who I consider my blood. (Is that me justifying something? Moving on.) My post was in no way racist but, in fact, poking and evoking humor on a political spectacle in 2014 in reply to a convenient post. If you continue to view it as such, I will happily delete it so as to not hurt your feelings. And if you wanna talk racism, as a Scot yourself, convince your peeps 780km to the East to keep it easy on my guy Lewis Hamilton.Racist jokes aren't funny.
Maybe everyone will eventually come back.I miss GDU’s posts. Heck I miss all the old posters who are no longer here.
Stop pretending you're a victim. Acting like you've endured persecution because of something that happened before we were all born is insulting to those that really lived it.I do have a funny bone, I've got Scottish DNA... but I draw the line at racial jokes.

Is TCU not wearing some form of Purple for the National Championship game instead of black? We shall see but I just don't get it if there is not more Purple shown other than on the trim strips. Go Frogs!The rumor is…
If we go no purple I’m going to more than a little disappointed. Hell, at this point I’m a little surprised Nike hasn’t been secretly working in an all new combo since last weekend and it’s under wraps.Is TCU not wearing some form of Purple for the National Championship game instead of black?

That is not a thing that happens Takes way too long to plan, design, and produce a jersey and nobody had TCU in this position pre-season.If we go no purple I’m going to more than a little disappointed.

I agree with lots of the complaints and if the uniform is the only thing I’m complaining about come late Monday evening, I’ll be ecstatic.That is not a thing that happens Takes way too long to plan, design, and produce a jersey and nobody had TCU in this position pre-season.
Nike adds the diamond swooshes to the team's existing uniforms and gives them next year's cleats and glove's. That's it.
Although, Nike would have to produce home and away looks for at least the top 3 teams. So, I suspect we got white tops and bottoms, purple top, and black pants.
So, we likely just wanted a different look than the Michigan game and if our only alternative is black pants, they probably decided to pair it with black helmets.
Which is really unfortunate, IMO. Given these limitations, Purple/White/Purple is a much better look IMO. But, TCU being invited to the CFP, making it to the NCG and us being upset about this unis only proves one thing: we can always find something to complain about.
Go Frogs!

I know a new combo wasn’t happening, more of a joke to help me cope with the possibility of no purple.That is not a thing that happens Takes way too long to plan, design, and produce a jersey and nobody had TCU in this position pre-season.

That’s all I have friend…
Gary must‘ve taken them with him, haven’t seen those in years. One of the best looks IMHO…I’d like us to wear those metallic purple helmets with white jerseys. My personal fave helmet.
Understood. It’s been a pet peeve of mine for TCU’s uniform choices all year. More black than purple. Purple and white are the school colors and mixing in some black is ok for a couple of games but this is the Championship. In my old fashioned view point the school colors should be shown loud and proud. Go Frogs!That’s a response I got on Twitter from a TCU guy called “Roll Toad”
