Go Gophers!!
Go Gophers!!
White helmets and pants also?
Why not all gold like we did for the inaugural stadium game vs Air Force? Even those ugly anthracite jerseys could have worked. What a dumb decision.
I’m assuming that the NMSU equipment manager screwed up and brought the wrong container. Otherwise why would they even have their home unis with them instead of their road whites?

Cal & USC do blue vs red. You may be right on the anthracite. They looked light gray to me in photos, but if they’re dark they wouldn’t work. Lastly, the gold from last year is still available this year. This was announced long ago. The only question is whether the gold helmets are also available. Pants and jerseys are for sure. If hockey can do gold vs dark, football can too.Anthracite Gophers with Maroon NMSU? That would be terrible, let alone against the rules (one team has to be "light"). It'd be very tough to tell apart at a distance.
Also, they don't have gold jerseys in the new design. So that isn't an option.
Not sure what else they were going to do other than make NMSU forfeit for not having a light jersey.

Correct. The other game that came to mind is FL/GA. They wear Blue/Red against each other sometimes.
The away white had to be approved by the Big Ten. Wow.. Thanks for making the cliffhanger decision on that one. Either MAKE NM St forefeit against MN or let them swap light/dark. I'm sure the local media wouldn't have had anything negative to say if we accepted the forefeit mandated by the big-ten.
One thing that would help clarify: did they bring all their equip on their charted jet up to Mpls, which I assume landed/will land today? Or did they ship all the gear up on a semi-truck, which if so would've needed to leave a couple days ago?
EDIT: this is clearly their chartered jet https://flightaware.com/live/flight/SCX8630/history/20180829/1710Z/KELP/KMSP as Sun Country has no commercial service between MSP and El Paso, and that airport is pretty close to Las Cruces. And so, hasn't landed yet today.
More than likely the fault of the supplier. Many teams getting new uniforms so assuming they are busy. Personally I don't think this is a big deal.
The correct answer.
