LSU and UCLA will play tomorrow night in the Rose Bowl, (Fox 8:30). They were the first college teams to adopt the uniform style of having rings around their player's shoulders, "to create the impression of motion":

Both schools won national championship shortly after introducing the stripes and have used them ever since. The uniforms were distinctive and I've always found myself rooting for those teams to do well because I liked the look and they were rivals of powerhouses Southern Cal and Alabama and I found myself rooting for the Bruins and Tigers against those two bullies.

This is the first time the two "alphabet soup' schools have ever gone stripe-to-stripe and it should be fun to watch.
