This game is being televised tonight - and right now, on ESPN.

North Carolina & Michigan State have Camo Unis, why couldn't the officials??

Watched the game yesterday. The teams wore uniforms with modified camo designs. It was really cool and it seemed the military on the ship really enjoyed it. That was the point.

What Do You Mean I Have To Go To Class ???
 
UCONN plays on the carrier next year. That may be the highlight of their 2012-13 season, since they may not be academically eligible for any post season play next year. How embarrassing.

Blech! Didn't care for them myself.

Then again, I don't like most of the uni's the Md Terps football team wears either. :rolleyes:

Obviously, they were doing it to honor the veterans. Good for them.

Don't forget the officials
 
And, all three of the officials are vets.

UCONN women may play in the Carrier Classic in 2013.

Coincidence, or done on purpose? Either way, I agree with grunewar, it was still pretty cool.

A few years ago I officiated for the Under 18 Irish National Team, who, in split squad games, played against a top-notch area AAU team, and a team of St. Joseph College alumni. All the officials at the site were Irish American, as was our assignment commissioner. One of the players was from County Monaghan, where my great grandfather was born.

With all the thought that went into setting the game up ON a Carrier, ON Veteran's day, WITH the Commander in Chief present, there is no way it was a coincidence.

Everything that was done had a purpose. Even the UNC staff got into it, wearing military cargo pants and combat boots. The Michigan State AD is to be congratulated on such a great idea.

And North Carolina now owns six straight of Sparty. GO HEELS!

I thought that was extremely cool. Considering in these events they think of the officials last, I am glad that was something they tried to make happen.

Peace

The announcers mentioned that the crew was assigned specifically because they are :Dmilitary:D veterans.
