My initial reaction to the away uniform throwbacks against Michigan was negative, but it mellowed out over the weeks after the photo leak, to the point where I ended up digging the threads outside of the helmets (although the pant stripes looked pink on television for some odd reason). And we ended up winning anyway, so, hey: disaster averted. But what the hell are these? Expertly done photoshops? Rose Bowl unis, as the BBC fears (BATTLE OF THE UNIVERSITIES OF NIKE)? Or have they already made throwbacks for next year's edition of The Game? The final scenario is the most likely, but what exactly are we "throwing back" to this time around? An Ohio State squad that finished 7-2 in 1955?
