LOL. I'm the one clueless, not the guy holding outdoor practices in 40mph wind gusts.

Having the filming tower up was a huge mistake, but there was absolutely no reason to move the practice inside. If the wind is gusting 40 on game day the game is going on as planned.

"It's probably the easiest way for Oregon to cut through the clutter of college football, to be undeniably known for something," Swangard said. "If no one knows your product exists, there is no demand for your product, and at the end of the day it's about 18-year-old kids. The uniforms are the key ingredient to getting those bodies there, and the bodies are what win you football games."

Like LeGarrette Blount, from faraway Perry, Fla.

"The uniforms are awesome," he said in 2008 when he was asked why he wanted to go all the way to the Pacific Northwest to play football.15

Like LaMichael James, from Texarkana, Texas.

"I loved the uniforms," he said before the 2010 Rose Bowl, "and then I got to know more about Oregon."16 And then he became a Heisman Trophy finalist for the Ducks.

I guess uniforms do make a difference in recruiting.

Most schools, like OSU, practiced inside that day. Without film of practice it's almost a waste as the coaches can't review how formations/plays went and can't make changes for the next practice.

Something tells me that had Notre Dame been coming off a win the previous work they would've been practicing indoors.
