Lamar Broadway and More Uniform Drama

Senior Lamar Broadway is profiled in this Dave Reardon article. He did well at cornerback against San Jose State and will probably get the start against Fresno, while Kenny Patton and Mel Purcell are still injured and questionable for Saturday's game.

And further down that page, more controversy with the road uniforms. I mentioned during the game that the new-new jerseys looked like Pop Warner unis. Some UH players disagree:

"We looked like a high school team," right tackle Dane Uperesa said.

Strongside linebacker Tanuvasa Moe said the manufacturers "must have thought we were giants. I thought I was out there playing in a nightgown. It was unbelievable."

Jones said he preferred the original road uniforms, which featured silver numbers on white jerseys. "Nothing was wrong with them," Jones said. "You media people couldn't see the numbers. I could see them perfectly fine, and so could our opponents, and so could the refs. That's all that matters. We responded to the press."

Jones said he also likes the style of the new uniforms, which cost UH about $10,000, but "we didn't know they were going to come three sizes bigger than they were supposed to be. ... It's very much a problem. If they don't get tapered by the next road game (Nov. 5 against Nevada), we'll wear our old ones."

Also, it looks like we'll be playing UNLV much more often. I hope they get better security in Vegas to contain those drunken UNLV fans.
