BC whalepantscords

Tucked inside the box from a recent BC Bookstore purchase was the latest BC catalog. Hidden among the latest t-shirts and paraphernalia was an item I had previously overlooked -- BC cords! How come no one told me about this?

Despite my excitement, I am not sure if I'll buy them. Atlanta has a short season for cords and I am not thrilled with black as the only option. But I my change may mind come Christmas time.

Although the bookstore is selling cords, you still need to go to Pennington & Bailes for the original BC pants.

Fashion sense

Memorial Day has come and gone, so now BC fans can wear the following.

And this.

Make a note, you can't wear the suit and pants after the Kent State game.

FAQs from Atlanta

I enjoyed meeting or reconnecting with many of you on Saturday. A couple of questions came up and I just want to clarify a few things.

Do I hate Eagle Action and the posters there?

I don’t hate the Eagle Action posters. On the contrary, I like and know many of them. I haven’t been frequenting the EA boards much, but it has little to do with the posters. As for the Eagle Action writers, it is a mixed bag. Mike Shalin was always nice to me when I was a student and did a good job for the Herald. Steve Conroy does a good job with the Herald and is a very good writer. The other guys I don’t read enough to have a strong opinion on. I do not care for Mike Farrell and I’ve explained myself repeatedly here. I also don’t care for Eagle Action’s founder Mike Rutstein. Eagle Action hit its lowpoint with me during the coaching search when they threw out tons of rumors under fake bylines and outright plagiarized a few other papers. Because that shoddy work was done under pennames, you’ll never really get to the bottom of things (but I don’t blame Conroy or Shalin). Maybe things will get better with Yahoo’s acquisition of Rivals. Until then, I’ll keep my distance from certain parts of EA.

Am I going to start a Amazon wish list, take donations, etc?

While I appreciate the comments, I don’t do this for the money. This is a hobby and AOL and my fulltime job keep me comfortable. If you feel the need to “pay” for this content please give to the BC fund in your own name or click on my google ads every once in a while.

Where did I get the pants?

The pants are catching on. I saw four others wearing them Saturday. You can get your own at Pennington & Bailes.

Fall fashion

The BC Stadium (fka Whale) Pants arrived. They are glorious. A perfect combination of style, tradition, fanaticism, and comfort. I now have to make a decision: what do I wear with the perfect pants?

I could go with the SuperFan t-shirt but I don't think the yellow works well with the khaki.

There is always the classic BC t-shirt. But I am turning 31 this season and becoming an old fart. I'll probably wear a polo or golf shirt with the new pants.


While my priorities can often be questioned, my family is still No. 1. Want proof? I went ahead and got my wife an outfit that every woman wants -- the BC stadium skirt. Also check out the woman's retro sports fitted t-shirt (another new addition to the BC fashion trend).
