    Did anyone see this game last night? Clemson wore orange with orange shorts, Maryland wore red with white shorts.

    Maybe it looked different in the field, but I thought it was a little hard to watch as the colors were too similar for my liking. Certainly the ref has the final say on such a thing- would I be wrong if I insisted on one of these teams changing?

    I did, and considering it was played in hard rain at times, I thought it was very difficult to see. Don't these big time teams have white alternates?

    I think the ref should have a worn a red shirt . . .

    I suspect there was enough contrast live, especially with the different shorts/socks. But I'm at least as surprised that on a televised game there isn't a push for better differentiation to keep the TV folks happy.

    As the center, I may have been just barely OK with it, but as an AR it would have driven me crazy.
