Got my Gold Rush shirt today! Can't wait for Saturday! Going to be tailgating in the grass parking lot since there were not spots available on Spirit Hill.

This is probably just a one-off deal for Halloween (hopefully?), but I am not a fan of black uniforms. Having a black alternate when it's not one of your school colors was popular in what, the mid-2000s? Just silly for us to be doing it now. Heck, I remember Bowden doing it a time or two back around 2011 (to be fair this set looks a lot better than that one did). This comes after the women's basketball accounts have been posting pics of the players in black unis. One step forward with "Gold Rush", two steps back with this black uniform nonsense. We aren't TCU!

We aren't TCU! Yes it's just a once a year thing... I don't hate it if it's not overdone... Fun fact, I grew up about a mile from that house. My first kiss was in front of that house with a girl that live about 100 yards from it... she always wanted to buy it and restore it...

Another note on the black, I was at the Delta State game when we wore black, one of the best atmosphere in Braly I've ever been in...

Ha, judging from Twitter I definitely seem to be in the minority with my thoughts on it. If the recent lack of gold had not been such a problem, I might not hate this as much. Also, I very much admit to being a full-on "get off my lawn" type.

That Delta State game back in 2009 was a great atmosphere in Braly. Loud. I remember Quinton Andrews with the pick six. The place went nuts. Terry Bowden's 1st year as Head Coach

I personally love the black jerseys. I think the Black and Purple is the cleanest look for UNA for football. I just wish it was for a night game.

I'm just glad we are on the right track back... got our stars back on our helmets, the way it sounds, we will be keeping those. To me it makes the cut in classic look like Notre Dame, Michigan, Alabama, Penn State, Ohio State... And we got some almost gold thrown in there as well... Back on the helmets, we can reserve the White helmet for logos which it seems we are doing but if you have noticed they are putting stars on it as well... Seems like the players like it too...

Yeah, the players seem to love the black unis, judging from the TimesDaily article. And I get that they’re the most important opinion. But this is the internet, so where else can I complain? Haha. I’ve actually grown to really like this year’s uniforms, outside the black of course. I’d still like to see more gold. I’d like to see gold helmets or gold pants long before I want to see black. Hopefully the purple helmets and pride stickers stick around for years to come.

If you weren’t around during the first Bowden season, it’s hard to explain how electric the feeling was that year. Remember the Bowden day they had that summer on campus ? A golf tournament and then all of the Bowdens had an event in Flowers that night.

Yes that whole thing had a lot of excitement around it. I remember we were having a New Year party with lots of friends and that news scrolling on the espn page lit up the whole room…Lions fans or not. Really thought he might bring another natty to Florence. Coach Wallace got closer to getting his 4th than Terry did on getting his first.

Yeah, I have always felt Terry under performed a bit, given all the transfer talent we had and the pipeline to Tallahassee/FSU. One day I need to go research and see how large the crowds were. Like, how much did his name draw in.

Remember Bowden was even on Finebaum? How many D2 coaches have been on Finebaum? He definitely put North Alabama back in the limelight. I talked to some players and the treatment of the transfers vs. the rest of team kept those teams from challenging in the post season. Team probably isn’t the word for it….shame.

I remember seeing Bowden speak to abunch of students in a room at the GUC. I even saw him and a couple of assistants jog the track one day during my Walk Jog And Run class.
