No, I didn't go to Ole Miss, but AGAIN, I think there is room between what appears to me as the clothes a girl rolled out of bed in and pretentious/over-done.

(Blast online stores that protect their images!) So here are some links of some shorts that NOBODY would call over-done. And the t-shirts fit.

I fully appreciate turning down the $1000 budgets on clothes for rush, but I think there's been some whiplash here. The same girls are going to show up for the official introduction to these chapters looking like that and in a few short weeks they're going to be going to football games in virtual cocktail wear? Somewhere along the line there has been a disconnect.

lol, hey I agree with you. Perhaps this is a trend toward more comfort and less wardrobe pressure?

On the other hand, it took me a while to grow accustomed to some other trends that came along -- like cowboy boots worn with cute dresses. And some girls at Bama have been dressing far more casually for games -- like football jerseys and jeans.

But some trends I'll never accept. I'll never see a tattoo I think is cute. Never. Ever.

You mean.. NORMAL clothes for a football game?

Normal is only defined by what you're used to.

Dressing up for games was fun. Seriously. There is nothing cooler than a sundress on a hot day.

lol. When I was in school, we wore fall dresses and skirts (with panty hose even). Because it was fall (never mind that the weather wasn't). And for homecoming, we might up the ante with a wool blazer (great place to pin a fat mum).

A little bourbon in the game cup of cola and dirty ice was almost a necessity to survive the game.

I remember hearing rumors that students at Florida wore cut-offs and halter tops to games, and wondering why we were so stupid.

I saw lots of this yesterday. Good ol' Big Ten football. It was all about the denim shorts and tank tops. However, they were very cute tank tops. In fact, I saw a couple of sorority tank tops that were adorable.

However, I am disturbed by the high waisted jean shorts. They look like someone took a pair of Mom jeans and put them off. They really only flatter stick thin girls. Are Mom jorts in style in other parts of the country?

Seriously, yuck....I can't believe these girls want to wear Mom jeans....very disturbing indeed.

Only if they don't have a date.
Plenty of times I'd see girls in the stadium on a homecoming Saturday dressed in full wool skirt, tall leather boots, belted wool sweater - the the temp was 90 degrees. SO glad I was in the band and had a uniform!!

I totally agree!

Well a lot about that changed too. Girls don't need a date to go to the game or even a frat party anymore.

That seems like a good change. I wouldn't have been caught dead in Bryant-Denny without a date. Or at a frat party with a group of girls.

You've got approval on that one! I used to tease that the ONLY tatoo that I would consent to get would be Soundex on my one palm, just to make it easier to research. That was generally received with the seriousness it deserved.
