A "Whiteout" with matching T-shirts in the student sections. Tennessee orange-and-white checkerboard end zones. A crimson-and-cream streak on a white-and-burnt orange helmet.
College football is full of colors – hyper-specific shades painted across football fields in the United States. Notre Dame beat Army 13-7 at the Polo Grounds on Oct. 18, 1924 – and legendary New York-Herald Tribune reporter Grantland Rice wrote, "Outlined against a blue, gray October sky the Four Horsemen rode again."
Rice was among the first colorful personalities who took college football into the national spotlight in the 1920s. Since then, several other media personalities have emerged to complement the players and coaches that have made college football special. Sporting News is honoring those personalities as part of our SN 140 celebration this season.
These are the players, coaches, media personalities – and even in a few cases mascots – who have brought a little more to college football.
