A Very Special Fashion is Dumb

All over America, kids are preparing to head back to college, including one of our own. Men's Health, keeping up with the times, offers the fashion-forward young man advice on how to make an impression while rocking your college's colors. And in one case, how to clash like Todd Akin at Lilith Fair:


The summary for this, entitled "The College of William & Mary", reads thusly:

Don't limit yourself to the team's colors; taking the theme so literally is neither stylish nor necessary. With pants like these, everyone will know you're rooting for the Tribe.

They'll also probably guess you're a hipster dipshit who needs a belt and probably should've had Mom put together a few matching outfits before she sent you off to school. On the bright side, the whole ensemble can be yours for $320. Unless you want the jacket, too, in which case you'll need to call Salvatore Ferragamo at 800-628-8916 for pricing.

    I saw a dude about our age on the train wearing those pants only in red. I couldn't help but exclaim out loud "Really?"

    They completely missed the true fashion of W&M these days. They needed cues from the mascot. No pants. And a lot cheaper.

    Zman- you should really attend an SEC game. Pants like those are commonplace. UGA frat boys wear red ones to every game (they match their Croakies) and some even have little bulldogs all over them. God I fucking hate Georgia.

    That's why Florida really works for me as an SEC school - guys wear t-shirts they find on the ground somewhere and still pull hot trim.

    Got an Andriod phone or Google Music account? Go to the play store and look for Busta Rhymes. His new album is free.

    This is one of the more preposterous things I've read in a while. But it appears to be true. Did they forget that Seattle exists?

    I hear the Browns might follow them there.

    I am indeed bad-mouthing Virginia Beach's ability to serve as a viable home for an NBA team. Hampton Roads just doesn't seem big enough.

    I bet Bruce Rader and the entire WAVY-10 news team is fired up about this.

    The Coastal Virginia area will never have a major league sports team. And I'm fine with that.

    I think it would be really interesting -- no idea how it would work out.

    Hampton Roads in the #36 metro area by population. Between Indy and Nashville, both of which have 2 pro sports teams. Bigger than Milwaukee, Jax, OKC Buffalo, New Orleans, SLC. Almost certainly less centralized than those though. Plus we might get the VA Squires back.

    Rickie Fowler's mustache is... mesmerizing..

    The fact that LL Cool J beat his potential thief's ass so badly makes me feel even prouder that I cranked his cassette so loudly in 1991.

    The Kings may set new records for incidences of STD's if they are that close to Portsmouth.
