LOL Minshew is having fun. I have a hunka-hunka burning love for the Coug themed Elvis impersonator suit. Takes a real Coug to pull a stunt like this.
Gardner Minshew is having fun and keeping it light. He's this team's leader and he knows he's being looked at and observed in spoken and unspoken terms. What better way for him to respond than a little light-hearted goofiness? I think he wants his team to remember that playing football is supposed to be fun. Take the game and your opponent seriously and with respect, but don't get lost in your head. My take anyway.
I want to know where he got those duds. Not off the rack, that's for sure. Had to be custom made. Maybe Mom found the outfit in Alabama (CRIMSON tide, get it?) and sewed on the Coug stuff and Fedex'ed it to him?
Minshew's one of those rare guys that can pull this kind of thing off because he's really good but doesn't seem to take himself too seriously. Browning? Even if he could I doubt it would fly with Peterson or whine and cheese nation.
I took Disco as a PE class in the spring of '80 (it made a good follow up to Ballroom; all the same upper body moves). Our teacher was one of the assistant FB coaches. He combined a recruiting trip with a couple of nights at Studio 54 (teaching research) and had a bunch of good stuff for us. He wore his Studio 54 outfit to class when he got back, and it was not far removed from what Godner wore. Rather than Crimson, it was Gray, and because it was the right kind of polyester, it shone in the moonlight. Some pewter/silver piping, a crimson Coug emblem, and a bright white shirt. There had to be a wide belt, but I don't remember it.
Those were the days. The girls wanted to dance with someone who could lead, and a PE dance class or two virtually guaranteed that you could meet a girl wearing tight whites and a hot top at any time. I did that 40 years ago in the basement of McCroskey, and have been married for 38 of those years.

You probably lived in a small town that banned dancing and rock music, I’ll bet.I was wearing a shirt that read, "Disco Sucks" in 1980
Finger, "Footloose" came out in '84. I was actually living in Oklahoma then, and there were really towns there that could have loosely served as models for the town in the movie.
Other fun trivia fact. Liquor by the drink was officially banned in 60 of the 77 counties in Oklahoma at the time. Some enforced that more closely than others, hence the expression "Liquor by the Wink".

Yup. There are still counties in TX that are dry. Some are dry after 6pm. Certainly a bunch of stores that won't sell liquor on Sunday.
Come on people, is this stuff really eye opening to anyone? You mean to say, there are people that don't live like we do?!?!? SHOCK!!!
