    Why do a Black Out against Eastern Kentucky??

    That was my immediate reaction as well.

    Seems obvious…we’re disguising ourselves as coal to appeal to their regional base fears of black lung.

    Because we will likely win this game, and then no one can say we always lose when we wear black.

    Why wear black so early in the season when it is still hot? Seems like we’d wait for a cooler game.

    Don’t the players vote on which uniforms they are going to wear? (or did I dream that?)

    ^That’s what people always say on here when complaints arise about uniform choice.

    Petition has been started for Blackout vs Clemson

    Several students are trying to get everyone to join in to blackout Carter Finley and make Halloween a nightmare for Clemson. We need your help in bringing Wolfpack Nation together along with our team. Also how great would it beat for a team in black and a team in orange for Halloween!

    Game time is 5 pm. Black probably not the best choice for this time of year, but temps are supposed to be significantly lower this weekend.

    Once the sun goes down, uniform color won’t matter.

    I put this in the ‘who cares’ category in the grand scheme of things. Does seem silly considering the opponent but whatever, go for it.

    I read on one Wolfpack site(maybe this one), that we have 27 uniform combos and only 12 games. It’s stupid. Thanks Oregon. Alabama has 2 uniform combos and they always look good, because they always win. L’ville looked stupid last Saturday. It’s gone too far. All these schools could buy poor kids books with the extra money. I’m done.

    Go State!

    3 colors of trousers * 3 colors of jerseys * 3 colors of helmets = 27. Doesn’t seem so ridiculous when you look at it like that.

    Sorry, but the Clemsoween game screams, ” Redrum ! ”

    Toe to head, solid red.

    RedReid says,
    “Alabama has 2 uniform combos”

    I would say that the minimum number of combinations is 4 if they only have red helmets or 8 if they have both red and white helmets.

    The way Alabama’s been falling off lately, we may see a black uni and 27 combinations soon. 😉

    “Why wear black so early in the season when it is still hot? Seems like we’d wait for a cooler game.”

    Virginia,

    I know you weren’t asking but here’s an answer anyway. Black soaks up sun rays. The youth soccer team I coached wore new red jerseys with black numbers in a tournament in Texas. The game started at 2 PM and the sun was blazing hot. After the game most of the guys pulled off the jerseys and their backs had red numbers burned on.

    I don’t think our black jerseys will be hotter in the evening than the red ones. I’d be concerned if the game was at noon or even 3. Better to wear them now than risk wearing them in an early afternoon game.

    Alabama is falling off? You’re kidding right? They just beat Wisconsin(always a good program)35-17 in the season opener. Maybe if we say “Alabama is falling off” enough, it will come true. Let’s start saying “Duke is falling of in basketball” as well.

    Go State!

    Of course I was kidding about Alabama falling off. That’s what the smiley was for.

    Were you kidding about Alabama only having 2 uniform combos?

    I’m so happy with Mr. Smith’s decision that they can wear any color except Carowhina blue and I’m good. 🙂

    Guess I missed they smiley. Bama can wear any uni combo. But I can’t recall the last time they varied from
    home- red helmet, red jersey, white pants
    Road – red helmet, white jersey, white pants
    Pretty standard for them.
