I hate it as well. I also hate players who roll their jerseys around the shoulders - as if they are wearing mink stoles that somehow need to be tucked in as they get in the way of actual play.
As for the wind resistance arguments, come on people. we aren't talking about track or swimming where milliseconds can mean the difference between winning and losing. UCONN has NEVER allowed players to alter or adjust their uniforms in any way, shape, or form. I dislike that other teams allow players to "personalize" their uni's because it smacks of "look at me - i'm a princess/prima donna/peacock".
But I guess I'm just a fuddy duddy because I also don't get players getting all dolled up for games - makeup, lipstick, huge false eyelashes, etc. I just look at the TV like WTF???
I agree they are not very utilitarian. Make no sense what so ever except to correspond to a stupid thug baggy style which originated in juvenile halls. They wore oversized pants because they were not fitted to the inmates size rather just always given larger sizes that hung down since they were not allowed belts. The baggy clothes were also ideal for hiding weapons. So the term thug style clothes is very appropriate since the style began in places of incarceration. They wore the same style once the got out because it gave them street cred displaying that they had done time.
True, but when life is as wonderful as ours (UCONN fans) is, what are you gonna do?
Agree, you're a basketball player, not a model.But I guess I'm just a fuddy duddy because I also don't get players getting all dolled up for games - makeup, lipstick, huge false eyelashes, etc. I just look at the TV like WTF???
Al Kooper?
Kooper fan from Dylan days, and B,S And T, Super Session and his other collaborations. He also "discovered" Lynyrd Skynyrd. Quite a storied career, with influence on many other acts. First B, S ,and T album , Child Is Father to The Man, is one of my favorites. While other people wanted to become stars, he just wanted to play great music. Good question by the way.
Minor problem, most VB players are in significantly better physical shape than WCBB players.
Some long shorts when you sweat drag on the legs and inhibit good movement
I seem to recall that Bloomfield did not show up after the first session, so Stills sat in. Don't know the background or the why.
