Can someone explain where this term came from regarding, I think, our white helmets?

I'm just guessing that someone misspelled leek.

In the chat during the Florida game, someone said the Florida fans were saying that our logo looks like a leek.  So, since the '70s logo was called the Flying Worm, the SOW could be called the Flying Leek.  I'm not advocating it, but if it catches on, it catches on.

We've reached a new low.  As if a flying worm isn't disgusting enough, somebody has the nerve to suggest a poor man's onion.  And somehow people immediately understand Crimson tide and elephants and Tar Heels and rams.

Pretty sure the decal on the white helmets is the exact same as the decal on the black helmets.   Not a fan of this unofficial nickname for the white helmets that a small few are trying to grow.

This is the dumbest thing I've heard! Please don't start that nonsense. 

The white helmets are awesome and this new staff finally gets it.  I have a feeling we are going to have some really sharp new uniforms for next year! This new group staff understands what's hip and attracts the young athletes of today! Excited and optimistic!  

See ya at the game. Go Mean Green

But seriously, folks - does anyone else remember that when the SOW was "unveiled" that RV said that there would be a 3D version "in a few months"?  I do think that using some shading and judicious use of black outlining, a 3D look could be achieved which would really make it "pop".

I don't like white helmets. The throwback one was nice but the current helmet in white looks way oversized on the players' head.

Leeks are fairly expensive.  I love them, and use them in my vichysoisse, and have had amazing crepes that featured leeks.  They've become the cuisine artisan's onions.  Scallions are more like the poor man's onions.

I paint in 3-D...I could make an image that works, but you need prismatic 3-D lenses to get the effect.

Let's put NT on one side of the helmet and the SOW on the other.

Green helmets today?

I do remember RV saying there would be a 3D SOW.

I like that idea. Kinda Pittsburgh Steeler-esque

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
