From time to time I read or hear about other fans running their mouths about the attire of people at games. I thought MEN had bigger and better concerns other than guys wearing jorts or jerseys. Look, I’ll be the first to admit I don’t like jorts. I don’t like wearing jerseys either, since I’m not 12. But, I don’t care if YOU wear them. By all means, wear a pink tutu to the game if you want as long as you’re there for the Noles.

And as long as we’re talking about attire, I complain about uniforms. A lot. I know, it’s a pet peeve. But in the end, I don’t care what FSU wears. I just wish Nike would SETTLE ON A GARNET SHADE ALREADY. Seriously, I’ve progressed from something reddish in 1997 to something that reminds of of the lovechild of Texas A&M and Stanford. At least the gold is a gold and not mustard yellow, although it’s kind of ironic that it’s called “Vegas Gold” isn’t it? It makes me wonder when the green dollar signs will show up on the helmets.

And one other thing. This silly little “Man Card Violation” garbage. I love reading message boards where a poster says something and then 8 other guys tell the poster to “turn in his man card”. “You watched The Notebook? Turn in your man card.” “You spend an afternoon at a picnic with your wife instead of watching the D-III Runner Up game on ESPN Ocho? Turn in your man card.” “You traded in your Mustang for a mini-van? Turn in your man card.” “You drank wine instead of beer? Turn in your man card.”

If the guy was bright enough to do something to please his wife / girlfriend / chick at work he has no shot with, good for him. Insanely enough, some guys even have TASTE in things. Sometimes it’s good to be a Renaissance Man. Learn something Cro-Magnons! As for me? I HAVE A PERMANENT MAN CARD IN MY PANTS and I’m NEVER turning it in! Capisce?

Happy Valentine’s Day Noles!
