You dont sponsor anything and let that company showcase your direct competitor's brand. Adidas has let players on teams with adidas contracts wear other shoe brands before, including 2 UCF football kickers who didnt like the adidas football cleat. No way were the adidas higher ups going to let a Jordan wear a Nike shoe when the school had an adidas contract. Adidas probably told their local reps to ok the the agreement in hopes of strong arming UCF and Jordan once he signed his LOI.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 9, 2009 -> 09:14 PM) You think so? I think if anyone comes out looking s***ty it is UCF here. If this situation were reversed, I imagine Nike would do the same thing as Adidas, they dont want their direct competitor sharing the court either. Adidas is only making this an issue because they wanted to get a Jordan wearing their shoe.

The Josh Freeman era has begun!!!! 3-13 here we come!

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 02:14 PM) Green Bay offensive line is playing the best I've seen them all year. Granted it is the Buccaneers. Good to have Clifton and Tauscher back. Had it not been for turnovers this game would be a blowout. Yeah this should be a blowout but I've been pretty happy with the play from Josh Freeman today. He's made his mistakes but he's made some good passes too. Atleast he gives me a reason to watch the Bucs for the rest of the season.

Good fights tonight. Rogers gave him a fight but Fedor is just on another level. Once Fedor escaped from the bottom the fight was over. Rogers can talk all he wants but other than breaking Fedor's nose 30 seconds in, he really didnt do much. Even when on top Rogers got some shots in but nothing that was close to fight ending. Roger's does have a hard head because he took some shots and I was shocked that he wasnt sleeping after the final punch. That was as crisp of a punch someone can land.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 7, 2009 -> 07:14 PM) As a GT fan, I truly believe there might be coaches as good as Paul Johnson, but there are no coaches that are better. Huge f***ing balls by him to go for it on 4th and 1 in OT down 3. Let's not get carried away.

There was an article in The Orlando Sentinel referencing a few players from different schools and sports, including a couple of UCF football players, who wore Nike shoes while their respective school were sponsored by adidas and adidas didnt care. If his name was Marcus Jackson instead of Marcus Jordan then adidas wouldnt care. Jordan also wore plain white Jordans with no visible logo on the shoe. In pictures, the only logo you can see is the adidas logo on his ankle braces.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 02:26 PM) I agree that it is entirely UCF's fault, but I think most people in Jordan's position (after learning that Adidas will pull their sponsorship of the school) would just do what is best for his team and school. How is it entirely UCF's fault if their adidas reps gave them the ok for Jordan to wear his dad's shoes?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 08:56 PM) If that's the case, I wonder if UCF might have a case against Adidas. Well the current contract expires this year and there was a verbal agreement to extend the contract for 6? more seasons. In the end, UCF will benefit from this. Either Nike will give them a deal or they can jump to Under Armour. I'm sure UA would love to get the business of UCF since they have the highest enrollment in the state and one of the highest in the country.

UCF told Jordan he could wear his dad's shoes because their adidas regional rep said it was ok. Then adidas corporate stepped in and said no.

I'm about to opt out of my verizon contract. There's a report that on Nov. 15th Verizon will be making contract cancellations $350 instead of $175.

so its basically the same quiz as "Can you name all 30 MLB teams"?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 12:52 AM) I still think that was a boring series. The only feel good moment for me is Rivera. He's so durable, consistent. It's fun to watch him pitch. Just like starters can learn from watching Buehrle work, relievers could learn a lot watching Rivera. He's a god. I hope the Phillies are done for a while; no need to see them in the WS again unless we are playing and beating them. Yeah it was. I watched more baseball today than the rest of the World Series combined. I even went to the store in the bottom of the 5th and missed 1.5 innings.

Victory Laps are so stupid. For some reason I have grown to dislike Teixeira a lot during this postseason. Something about him wants me to punch him.

Well Nike already said they had no plans in adding UCF to their roster since they already have Miami, FSU and UF but I wonder if Jordan will talk them into adding UCF now.

But I dont think any fans will ever top this.

I've always liked what Wisconsin does at football games.

Castillo gets called to the national team for the games in Denmark and Slovakia.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 2, 2009 -> 03:02 PM) Seems like it was douchebaggery all around http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/brandon-spik...yer-first-26770 Either that UGA player is the fastest and most accurate eye gouger ever or just got his hands in the wrong place while trying to make a block. It's funny because a lot of Gator fans are claiming that the UGA player was spitting on Spikes and Spikes was trying to mush the spit back onto the UGA player, not poke his eyes. Pretty weak but they are a pathetic fanbase in general.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Nov 1, 2009 -> 03:01 AM) Holiday Bowl for USC. San Diego can't be too bad a place to visit in December, can it? They are still USC meaning they will probably get a Fiesta Bowl bid.

What a crappy night of football. All 3 games were blowouts.

Tennessee's uniforms tonight reminds me of those Oreo Double Stuffed Halloween cookies.

Spikes needs to be suspended for that. That is more dangerous that throwing non stop punches.
