The Raider Read, 9/30/15

Sending out some interesting links from yesterday for your morning amusement/vitriol/rage

Bringing us back to the old VTM roots with the #fashionblog talk, UniSwag posted some pictures of the new saucy Scarlet uniforms we wore against TCU with the Red Chrome facemask. I'm always a huge fan of red in our uniforms, and i'm excited there are others that feel the same way. It's not much of an article, but the pictures look pretty sweet. You can catch that link here.

Our "rivalry" with Baylor just got a little more official. They've added a trophy. The only way this could get better is if we stopped playing at Football Mecca aka JerryWorld and moved it to a true home-and-home. Also they could've spelled out BU-TT on the trophy, but you can't win them all.

In what will surely infuriate some farmers, a recruit who was at the Jones for the TCU game said that we're louder than the Ags. Hullabaloo?

Our mortal enemy site of the week, Our Daily Bears, has produced a mini-preview of our team next weekend. It's got all of our team stats, so if you want to see what they think of us, head on over there. If you decide to comment there, don't be punks, be nice, and remember that they love their team too, and that can definitely slant viewpoints. I know I'm wearing my Scarlet and Black tinted glasses a lot.

I don't know if y'all read the main SBNation site a bunch, but we got a moderately positive shoutout in this week's edition of Hatin' Ass Spurrier.

I mean, he's not wrong.
