Untucked Jerseys

So if I make an assertion that is illogical it is nonetheless presumed to be true unless proven otherwise?

You didn't take logic at Marquette did you.

You are correct. I didn't take logic at Marquette. This isn't about logic. It's about saying someone is wrong when you have no factual evidence that they are indeed wrong. But logic away if you want.

We aren't confusing the bumblebee jerseys being a competitive advantage for the psychedelic effect they had on opponents, are we?

There is no evidence that he is right either.

I think his explanation makes no sense so I think he is wrong.

Is that so hard to understand?

The easiest thing to understand is that you are the smartest guy in the room. I'll leave it at that.

Pretty low bar if you're in here with me.

Refs at every level tell you to tuck in your jerseys. I feel that's the simplest and most logical reason for it being banned. Not sure the reason for it but safety would be my best guess.

I remember it the way Fr. Dan does, but I was pretty young at the time, maybe some of the others would know.

I thought the untucked were an unfair recruiting advantage (letting players design uniforms) and the bumble bees were too psychedelic and made opponents dizzy.

Both are a reflection of how much the NCAA hated Al McGuire and Marquette. No other explanation.

So Marquette wins the national championship in 1977, Al McGuire retires, and it takes until 1984 for the NCAA to disallow untucked jerseys because they hated Al McGuire and Marquette? Seven years later?

By that time Marquette had moved onto the tiger striping jerseys. My recollection was those were tucked in by I might be thinking post 1984.
