AS LONG AS I GOT MY SUIT AND TIE
Bill Self is a man of many ties

If there is one thing Bill Self wears better than a championship ring, it's a tie. Self dresses for success and definitely impresses. The coach has a great eye for fashion and his incorporation of school colors makes that obvious. Self has a splendid tie collection, but below are Bill's 16 sweetest ties. It's obvious he shines in his go-to striped ties, but keeps his fans
guessing with the occasional pattern.
While most of his neckwear is a slam-dunk, one tie that I don't like is the yellow tie, which represents the entire list of his worst ties. This particular yellow tie too closely resembles the hue of that former rival of ours in Missouri, and the Tigers are far from a
fashion statement.
Hopefully Bill leaves the yellow ties at home and brings his best stripes to Dallas. It's clear he has a favorite: He has repeatedly worn the same red, white and blue striped tie. But we will let that slide because he's Bill. So cross your fingers and hope he leaves the Tar Heel blue and Mizzou yellow hang in
Lawrence.
P. S. Bill, can we see a bowtie sometime?
