We're on FOX tonight, with the excellent Gus Johnson on the mike. Huge crowd in Morgantown, wearing tee-shirts that give a blue-and-gold checkerboard appearance to the stadium.
Uniform watch: WVU is going with gold helmets with the blue WV logo, dark blue jerseys and pants with gold numerals. The numerals are a ridiculous font not seen since Lee Petty retired from NASCAR. Oklahoma, entering into the spirit of the modern Big XII, has eschewed their usual road uniforms, which are among the best in all of sports. Instead, the Sooners are going with a shiny version of their usual crimson helmet with white OU logo, white shirts with crimson sleeves and the word "OKLAHOMA" over their numerals, which are of a font only slightly less goofy than WVU's. They are also wearing crimson pants with white stripes down the side.
The whole effect of the two uniforms is not too bad, although the footage from this game will seem very dated in a few years.
