Student blackouts are fine. Attempts at stadium blackouts are retarded.

By golly that settles it!

The only times I have ever remembered student B****** attempts were in 2006 against Texas, the 2007 opener against Nevada (which worked, because the official student t-shirt was black), and this year.

I'm sure there have been others, but those were the only ones I recall that actually got some traction.

Well by George, back in my college days we didn't even talk about b l a c k o u t s and we liked it that way dadgummit. We wore RED, up hill both ways to the stadium, and we liked it. Cripes, did I mention we liked it?

(if I was going to be in the stadium I would wear black....unless it's supposed to be hot and I would like it)

I think those against a Black-Out are afraid we will look too much like Texas Tech. I suppose this can be a scary concept but as long as Methed out Yosemitee Sam isn't on the sideline it shouldn't be a problem.

 

[The Dude]

Now we're inventing reasons why people are "afraid" of a B******?

Hilarious!

Inventing? No sir. Valid point of fear. We fear that which we do not understand.

Help! What is the protocol for home viewing? I don't know what I should wear so am thinking about leaving my TV off so I don't do the wrong thing. Damn, I really wanted to watch this game too but I'm sooooo confused.

I'm going with this:

I'm going to wear a flesh-colored body suit.

I'm going to drop acid and wear this:

Damn it! I didn't want more choices. Fewer, fewer choices is what I desired.

I'm petitioning for the AsslessChaps-Out or is Penn State already doing that?

 

[JJ Husker]

Too soon?

Hey it was Bill O'Briens idea, just like putting names on the jerseys. But sexier.

Impeccable reasoning.

To those proposing the B******: Do you know why those other schools promote them?

It's because they want to emulate what we have here at Nebraska - the Sea of Red. The difference is the other schools have to pass out t-shirts, make press releases, and put forth a huge campaign to accomplish what happens here organically.

By promoting a B******, you are copying those other schools.

Actually pretty much any major team with one dominant color has something close to a "Sea of ______" on any given Saturday. Nebraska didn't invent the idea of most of the fans dressing in the primary color. Nor did they actually invent entering the field to Sirius and a video montage, the triple option, weight training, or the concept of the walk-on.
