The Ohio State Buckeyes have always had silver helmets speckled with Buckeye leaves earned for game accomplishments. I turned on the OSU Michigan matchup and saw guys with red helmets. Must be Oklahoma or somebody. Bucks don’t have red helmets. Then I looked closer, the whole uniform changed. The BCS and NCAA changed the uniforms.

“Ohio State uniforms for Michigan game unveiled, are Big Ten divisions next?

This is still Ohio State football, right?

The Thursday game is no big deal to me, a nice change that gives the Buckeyes two very helpful extra days of preparation for the Miami game as they shoot for a national title.

The possible unveiling of divisions, which a Nebraska assistant athletic director said on radio last night he expects and many, many other people are speculating will happen - well, that could make some people very angry.

But I think the first real announcement of the day turned out pretty well for Ohio State fans, as Nike showed off the new Pro Combat jerseys in New York, giving a glimpse at what the Buckeyes will wear for the Michigan game.

Not bad. As we wrote yesterday, I like the theme honoring the military service of the 1942 Buckeyes. You can see a little bit on the gray sleeves under the uniform the camo pattern.

So, with one announcement down for the day, what do you think?”
