I know we have a solid offense and the D is improving. However, it is a road game against our rival. Albin beats OUr rival after rolling up undefeated Buffalo (4-0) I'll send him a gift card to the College Book Store for a new sideline hat. A collapsible hat with a belt buckle snap is not great gear for a D1 Football Coach.
I'm a hat snob FYI. Fitted, 6 panel, eight seamed lids only. Get a lid from Coach Moore for goodness sake.
Cap digression incoming...
I attended OU in the early 2000s and have kept an eye on the bookstore and athletic department merch website ever since, and Ohio's hat game has always been awful. Follett's had some New Era fitteds around a decade ago, and I snagged one, but the quality isn't great and I don't love the design. If you look at the College Bookstore website, it's almost exclusively terrible dad hats (like Coach Albin wears). I'm sure they have data showing that those sell better, or maybe they don't want to worry about selling different sizes, but I can't wear caps like that with my 7 3/4-wearing dome.
The baseball team's caps when I was a student were New Era and looked really nice, but I never saw anywhere that offered them for purchase. They wear caps by The Game now, and even in the player headshots, they look awful. The bookstores all carried crappy Zephyr fitteds when I was a student, but those appear to be a thing of the past.
