He proved that college sports can be interesting in a professional sports town.<br /><br />The picture of Doug Flutie on the cover of SI shows striped pants - so the stripe was introduced before Coach Coughlin.<br /><br /><br />http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/cover/featured/8934/index.htmBig Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-42893607555560147172011-06-14T13:46:24.376-04:002011-06-14T13:46:24.376-04:00BC should use the unis as an attempt to reach out ...BC should use the unis as an attempt to reach out to the fans.

The entire outfit photographed well on the cover of Sports Illustrated. The current maroon looks like it came from one of the French Impressionists. If it ain't broke, then don't fix it!
