Prohm's Ties

[clonetil01]

Might be petty, but I've noticed in multiple games that Prohm isn't wearing any Cardinal and/or Gold . Now, usually this is covered with some kind of tie, and I'd think it'd go without saying that's part of your game day wardrobe. It actually drove me nuts in the game at Kansas that he was wearing a BLUE tie, who does that? I saw against TCU it was some sort of Lime Green. It may be petty but I really can't grasp the idea of not sporting the colors in some way. Thought I'd check and see if there was some story behind it, maybe the ties are some kind of fundraiser/awareness thing.

You're absolute correct. This is very petty.

For crying out loud, has the weather done this to our brains?

This is really stupid. I don’t think any of our coaches specificslly wore cardinal or gold ties in basketball. Fred certainly didn’t when he was still wearing ties.

The lime green was for literacy.

I suggest you find other things to worry about.

I do wish that Prohm would do more to play to the fans (entry song, shirt and tie colors). However, I don't think the lime green tie was his idea as other coaches on both teams were wearing the exact same tie. It probably had some charity tie-in.

wtf...

Are we done here?

More Fred pics please.

Fred supported nobody?! We should have know he was never going to stay here.

How can anyone be worried about Prohm's tie when he hasn't even fixed his slacks yet? One thing at a time, guys!

I always find it interesting what people post when they haven't posted in months. His ties were bothering you so much that after 8 months you're like, "I need answers!".

I'm just happy that his suit game improved. He looked like David Byrne his first year on the job.

I had a buddy who was a high school coach up here. I went to one of his games and was surprised that he was wearing a tie that was the other team's colors. Someone told me that he does that for every game. He feels that it gives him and his team a psychological advantage. Something like "We aren't intimidated by you. We'll even welcome you as we are kicking your ass." The guy is a former All-American so I think he knows a thing or two about basketball.

On a related note, did they ever say why both benches were wearing matching (greenish) ties at the last game? Mrs. Velo asked me but I never heard. Was this a Jimmy V or Coaches for Cancer type of thing?

So many applicable gifs that this might end up being a great thread, but to start:

I think some of the ties have been related to various causes that he supports (my wife noted during a recent game that both Prohm's and the opposing coach's ties were identical (no idea why she noticed that)).

As someone who has actually coached and worn suits for games twice a week (or more) for 5 months straight, there are only so many cardinal & gold ties to wear. I know of coaches who would go for the color of the opposite team just to mix it up.

Our wives have been texting back and forth again, haven't they?

Every coach on both coaching staffs wore a lime green tie the TCU game

I think Prohm should be wearing a tuxedo t-shirt. Because it says "I'm formal, but I like to party."
