Why do these guys all wear shorts now? They will get their knees scraped up, knee contusions and torn up on the field turf. All for a fashion statement and to look cool. Football pants used to come down to your knees. With a knee pad. To protect against scrapes, contusions and field turf too. Even a deep bone bruise if hit directly. Just seems ridiculous and not protective enough.

So it can match their painted fingernails.

Probably feels less hot

I think that's why people wear shorts instead of pants but I'm no scientist

It's just not ideal for football. The knee pad protects the knee. There is a reason for it. It's an epidemic in College Football. Especially WR's and DB's. All these Diva guys. They want to have shorts because it looks cool. Wait until you get your first knee contusion. Or scraped up badly on field turf. They are half way up the thighs for a fashion statement. Health and protection and proper padding are more important IMO.
7-6 on picks this year so far

took TCU -3.5
It feels weird and awkward seeing Bill Belichick as a College Football coach. But best of luck to him. He's a good coach. A lot of players wanted to transfer there. So North Carolina is probably on the upswing for football.

Hmmmm

Nobody really expects him to do it this year. They have 70 new transfers. It's an all new team. Give it a few years. They will probably get better.

He's not going to see this though. I think this is one and done.
