I did not know that.

We COULD just take the penalty. What is it, a 15 yard penalty on the opening kickoff?

At least that's what it was when both USC and UCLA wore dark jerseys the last couple of years. However, I don't think it would be worth the confusion of having both us and Memphis wearing white jerseys.

If an SEC home team wants to wear white,

OOC Games: Follow NCAA rules; visiting team must agree.
SEC Games: Follow SEC rules; home team can wear what they want.

I can't say I wouldn't do the same thing if I were Memphis. I don't think it's a dick thing to do at all. We already have home-field advantage, there's no reason they should make it even tougher on themselves by agreeing to wear dark jerseys in the heat.

2009-10 Major Changes<br itxtvisited="1">1-4-3-a Jersey Colors<br itxtvisited="1">ARTICLE 3. a. Players of opposing teams shall wear jerseys of contrasting colors. Players on the same team shall wear jerseys of the same color and design.<br itxtvisited="1">1. The visiting team shall wear white jerseys; however, the home team may wear white jerseys if the teams have agreed in writing before the season.<br itxtvisited="1">2. If the home team wears colored jerseys, the visiting team may also wear colored jerseys, if and only if the following conditions have been satisfied:<br itxtvisited="1">a. The home team has agreed in writing prior to the game; and<br itxtvisited="1">b. The conference of the home team certifies that the jersey of the visiting team is of a contrasting color.<br itxtvisited="1">3. If on the kickoff at the start of each half, the visiting team wears a colored jersey in violation of the conditions specified in Rule 1-4-3-a-2 (above), it is a foul for unsportsmanlike conduct.<br itxtvisited="1">PENALTY: Administer as a dead-ball foul. 15 yards at the succeeding spot following the kickoff. If the kickoff is returned for a touchdown, the penalty is assessed either on the try or on the succeeding kickoff, at the option of the home team.

In addition, the change establishes a penalty for deliberate violation of the rule.

and take the penalty.

That's just me.

I don't blame Memphis for not agreeing, but screw them. I say we wear white.

White vs white could be confusing for the QB.

I saw wear our maroon. Then hang 50 on them.
