Re: Harper Question
Looking at his high school highlights, he's wearing either white or black long sleves in every game. Must be a good-luck or comfort thing.

Kansas is cold in the fall and winter, it might have been born from need and become a habit

Re: Harper Question
I don't care what kind of sleeves Harp wears, as long as he keeps busting his rear for the team!

Re: Harper Question
I like the white sleeves. It gets me excited when I see him in the game (totally platonic, fan-based way). It may tip off the opposing team, but when he gets the playbook down it won't matter.

Re: Harper Question
His number tips the other team of too no matter what undershirt he's wearing...other teams are going to be prepared and looking for number 1 and number 3 not at the QB spot...Thats why the trick play with DT was so well covered...he just made an amazing throw.

Byrd was not wearing any sleeves in the Bowl.

Re: Harper Question
I agree the sleeves are a give away he's in and sumpin's up. Someone just needs to ask him why he wears them.

Re: Harper Question
Also why would you want to highlight you are on the field...those bloody things glow for Pete's sake!
If I was his coach I'd make him wear the same as everyone else...and if he has to wear the white sleeves/shirt he can do it when we wear our whites!

Re: Harper Question
True, but the white sleeves just gives them a little more time to adjust their D. It was just an observation. You can easily get a guy hidden in the mix until the last second by hiding his number, but the white sleeves is a huge giveaway to the "man" up in the box. Hey, I'm okay with the sleeves if it's a good luck thing for him, just as long as the plays keep working.pudgejeff wrote:His number tips the other team of too no matter what undershirt he's wearing...other teams are going to be prepared and looking for number 1 and number 3 not at the QB spot...Thats why the trick play with DT was so well covered...he just made an amazing throw.

Re: Harper Question
I think Byrd wore the really loose sleeves during the Stanford game, along with Crenshaw.
