Check out the new uniforms and helmets around college football, and hear what some guy thinks of them here.

Ranking the BTFFL Helmets

1. Halifax Spitfires
It doesn't get any better than this one. A cat's paw on an orange helmet...genius!




2. Bucky's Goodgers
Nice Bucky logo on a beautiful red helmet. I also like the throwback look of the grey facemask.




3. Minnesota Fighting Farmers
Ah, the classic gun and pitchfork logo. Very appropriate logo for the Fighting Farmers, but not that aesthetically pleasing on a helmet. Though I do like the throwback look of the numbers on the front of the helmet.


4. Golden Goblins
Yeah, Goblins have wings I guess...and the colors are correct, but its just not that interesting. I think it should be the goblin logo thats on the rosters page on a maroon helmet....maybe with a stripe or two.

IU-Nicholls State game is on

With travel assistance from Indiana University, Nicholls State will make the trip from Louisiana to Bloomington on Friday and face the Hoosiers in a 4 p.m. game Saturday.

IU athletic director Rick Greenspan and Nicholls State athletic director Rob Bernardi made the announcement Wednesday. With the help of a Bloomington travel agency, the Colonels secured a chartered flight out of Baton Rouge, La.

Michigan State, Hawaii not sharing videotapes

HONOLULU -- Hawaii football coach June Jones and Michigan State's John L. Smith are accusing each other of withholding videotape of their teams.

"We're not sending tapes. They're not sending tapes. It's that simple," Smith said Tuesday.

Michigan State officials said they had no additional comment beyond Smith's statement.

"We've been waiting to send ours and talk to their video guy," Jones said. "They don't want to exchange tapes, which is fine. That's their deal."

Jones went as far as accusing Michigan State of lying and advising the Spartans' season-opening opponent, Kent State, not to forward a copy of the tape to Honolulu.

"The Michigan State coaches asked the Kent State coaches not to send it to us because we wouldn't send them ours," Jones said. "I have no idea why they would lie to them. It's kind of a bad deal. But you do what you do to win, I guess."

Michigan State (1-0) and Hawaii (0-1) face each other Saturday in East Lansing. Hawaii beat Michigan State 41-38 in the final game of the regular season last year to earn a berth in the Hawaii Bowl.

The Spartans had 16 penalties for 119 yards that cost them the game. Hawaii was penalized five times for 35 yards.

Exchanging videotapes of school-shot footage is common practice in college football but not required in nonconference games.

Jones said his video coordinator has tried to reach the Spartans' video staff for the past 10 days.

"They don't have to exchange it if they don't want to. They're not in our conference, but to not return a phone call and tell Kent State a false statement is kind of unreal," he said.

Kent State officials did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment.
