Well, almost.

Imgur user eharvey328 has taken college football rivalries to another level, using some creative editing skills to horrify college football fans everywhere by placing teams in their rival’s colors. There are some pretty dark corners of the Internet, but this is about as demented as it gets.

Team colors are one of the most important part’s of a school’s identity. They have their own histories, their own names, even their own mythology.

Red isn’t just red: its crimson, scarlet and cardinal. Blue is Carolina Blue, purple is Royal Purple, and orange is Burnt Orange.

Colors having special names is not a new concept. Go shopping for paint and you’ll find thousands of different names from captivating teal to autumn cover. Sometimes it’s for the sake of art, other times just for a more accurate description. But in all honesty no one really cares.

When it comes to team colors though, everyone cares. Fans bleed their colors for a reason. Many Gator fans refuse to buy a red car, or wear maroon (excuse me, garnet) colored clothing. No true Ohio State fan can stand to be in a room with any combination of deep blue and bright yellow.

So seeing your most hated rival in your team’s colors is fairly traumatizing.

Florida and Florida State were not the only victims, with teams from the Big 12, Big 10, ACC and SEC also getting the treatment.

Trees were poisoned over things like this:

Ohio State – Michigan

Texas - Oklahoma

The Red River Rivalry as it never should be seen:

And I never thought I would say these words, but…

Orange and Blue have never looked more hideous.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
