Mike Bettes - wearing a tie tonight

[Spring Rubber]

I missed all of Abrams & Bettes tonight, but I caught the very end and saw that Mike was wearing a tie tonight. At the very end of the show, they did a close-up of the tie while Steph harassed him about it. This was the first time that he has worn a full suit and tie in at least a year, I'd say. I wonder what that was all about and if there's a backstory to it.

That's very interesting. Maybe TWC is tightening their dress code?

He's worn a tie in the past, but only a few times (during the first few months of A&B ).

The last time I actually remember him wearing a suit and tie was last January when he lost his bet with Steph over the 2006 BCS National Championship; as a result, he had to wear a full suit and tie with Florida Gators colors. (orange and blue)

If he has worn a suit and tie since then, it was only once or twice.

I believe he has worn a tie the few times he had to substitute for someone on EE.

Sometimes, but he usually did it without a tie, which really seemed awkward.

Wow I never saw Mike w/o a tie! :shocked:

Wow I never saw Mike w/o a tie! :shocked:

Really? He's been wearing a tie almost every day since A&B premiered.

I can only remember him with a Tie on... :S

Doesn't A&B

Opps! I meant to say he was tieless almost everyday since A&B premiered. My bad.

This thread makes my head hurt, and the fever isn't helping any, either...

So I was right!

Mike Bettes is sporting a tie yet again tonight.

You know, judging by the comment Steph ended the show with last night, it's almost as if it was done in response to some viewer mail that was read earlier in the show. IIRC, Steph did say something along the lines of, "There, how about that? He's wearing a tie!"

Okay, I'm starting to get a little insight on this whole deal today. After catching today's edition of Forecast Earth, I see that Mike appeared on the show, and he was wearing the same tie that he wore the very first night he wore a tie on A&B this week, so apparently he wore the tie on A&B because he happened to be wearing it on Forecast Earth that day. It still doesn't explain why he's worn a tie every day since, though. Perhaps somebody liked him better wearing a tie?

Tonight, Mike and Steph are wearing the same shade of orange. That was definitely intentional.
