Last year they were optional in Ohio. This year black pants are required.
If I got home in time from my game on Friday, I would watch the highlights on 5 in Cincinnati. The sports lasted 20 minutes with about 12 Ohio games, maybe 1 crew in knickers . They also had 10 Northern Kentucky games and 5 Indiana games and I think both states were all in knickers. We only had 1 real muddy game and the black pants washed up very nice. Our U got hit in the back and fell in the mud in the middle of the field, completely covered his right side and it came out. He said knickers would have been ruined. By the way, our U is 6'5 280 lbs, the tackle that hit him was much bigger.
I do not miss knickers. But I do have a brand new pair of Northwestern striped socks I have no use for now. I guess I can wear them under my boots when I shovel snow!
