OT: Researcher at U-Md. develops fabric that heats OR cools

This looks pretty cool (or warm) to me.

Seems like everybody will be wearing this stuff at some point in the future. I mean, after all, we all want to be comfortable, and it would sure help save on heating and cooling bills if it works.

I sure am hoping that VT researchers are also looking into this. Why should Maryland get all the residuals for this type stuff? They've already spun off under armour, which is the same material everyone else uses, just with a cool logo.

Sounds like they have harnessed the power of my wife's gaze: can be bone chilling or warming depending

I swear Adidas had something like this 10 years ago that basically the material would expand or shrink a little depending on the temperature and either allow more or less air to pass through.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

You know what else has this functionality? Scrotums. (I'll see myself out.)

Yours lets air pass through???????????????????????????????????

Can't wait to see Maryland wearing the new UnderArmor ScrotGear on the field during games. It'll really give them a leg up on the competition.

Scrotgear is definitely better looking than their football helmets.

You will see this game, this upset and this sign next on ESPN Sportscenter. Virginia Tech 31 Miami 7

His decision was made after a phone call with longtime Virginia Tech assistant coach Bud Foster. All Foster told him was, "We win. They don't."

Well, Maryland certainly has those.

Fuck Maryland.

Agreed.

To the point where I avoid buying Under Armour.

Freaking Kevin Plank. If he wants a team, he should buy into the NFL.
