Piss poor "black out" participation.

[BELdog]

Looks like maybe 50% of the junction has participated.

 

[SuspectZero]

I've seen many wearing white. At least wear something dark.

 

[Dawg1976]

Perhaps that should tell our AD that 1/2 don't buy into the black color craze.

 

[121Josey]

Did you see the game ("stripe-out") last week?

 

[Go Budaw]

Looks like maybe 50% of the junction has participated.

Thanks for the insight. Why don't you tell the Lodge, Barnes and Noble, and Sports Center to up their orders of black polos / t-shirts in advance of games like this. Went to all 3 this morning and all they had left were S and XXXL. So, maroon it is. Shameful to wear one of our school colors, but please take it easy on me.

Well in my defense, I have a lightweight black jacket with a MState logo on it, but it's to hot for that. Tried black long sleeve t shirt, but was sweating like hell within 5 min of putting it on. So, I'm in a maroon short sleeve. I could have gone next door, and should have, but I didn't.

 

[BELdog]

I call bull **** seeing as how I bought a black Drake button down at Sports Center today at 2:00 PM. Mine was a Large, but they had every size imaginable and also had black polos in all sizes. The Lodge had several black shirts in all sizes yesterday. Get that **** out of here.

Looks pretty damn good to me.

Yep looks good on TV. I'm not allowed to talk about injuries.

 

[AFDawg]

Looks good in the stands. And the uniforms are great.

 

[CoastDawg18]

I agree. Unis look good.

Probably has something to do with blackout being 17ing stupid

^^^^NOT PARTICIPATING^^^^

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

I for one like the fact we're individualistic, and not monochromatic robots

We're supposed to be a free country, with a strong representative Republic and Checks-and-Balances that keep any one person or group from ruling our over country. While our Congress is spending too much time trying to suck Obama's dick, at least at The Mississippi State University, that streak of individuality and personal liberty lives.

Not deserving**

I sit on the east side, so I can see the west side and the student section. The cameras never show that side, but from my vantage point the blackout looked pretty good. I'd say >95% participation, and the student section must have been near 100%. There was a bit more white on the east side but it's hard to tell if it was my view looking down on the main grandstand, or if it really was that way. All in all, I'd say it was pretty good, and much better than the all-maroon and all-white games.

 

[RocketDawg]

I had a black sweatshirt, and it lived up to its name ... I sweated the entire time. But I wore it until I got back to the hotel. Can't believe it was so warm tonight, but at least the rain stayed away.

Perhaps some of the folks in the Junction, at least the ones that went into the stadium (there are many who never leave the tailgate), didn't put their black stuff on until they got inside since it was so warm and humid tonight.

 

[BELdog]

I spoke a little soon. Looked a lot better inside the stadium.

 

[cowbell88]

Freakin eye candy everywhere too. Little black sundresses are much better than little maroon sundresses. My almost 70 year old dad even noticed the superior talent everywhere.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Looks like lots of folks changed into black for the game. Not a great afternoon for wearing black...about 80 degrees or more.

Blackout in the stadium looked good though.

 

[dickiedawg]

Blackout looked really good. With the majority wearing black, the fans wearing maroon blended in too. The ones wearing white sure stood out.

I am on the West side and the east side looked good.

 

[Cow College]

I went to the lodge on Friday, sports center, reeds, and Barnes and noble and could not find a large at any of those store that was black

 

[civildawg88]

Does it really freaking matter? I mean come on we are talking about shirt colors here. Get a grip. Yes I wore black though

 

[TBone.sixpack]

YES. Those black sundresses. Damn.
Our girls looked good yesterday.

 

[The Peeper]

For you cheapskates, Vowells Grocery on hwy 12 had black tshirts w/ maron letters "Beat UK" on the front of them for $4.99 Saturday morning, all sizes. Check there next game for your MSU fashion needs......

 

[ArcherSPS]

That fancy, new Krogers ain't got that***

 

[HotMop]

^^^Wore white.

 

[RingN2012]

Yeah who gives a **** about following the blackout. It's just a ploy to sell merchandise. I don't think anyone needs to be crucified because they aren't a sheep like everyone else

 

[BELdog]

Crucified? Dramatic much?

 

[DogNSuds]

Not sure why so many people are such whiners about wearing the color the school would like you to wear. It's about atmosphere, spirit, marketing, and a little fun. Those who call those who chose to comply and add to the game day experience are stupid and stubborn.

 

[barely]

clothing looked great, but I was disappointed by how many of our fans decided to beat traffic?? It looked like Kentucky was going to have more fans there than us by the time the clock hit zeros
