They have been pushing the blackout on social media for weeks. I am not sure why some (not you) in the other thread didn't know about it.
I guess there are many folks on this board who don't really pay attention to social media, as it wasn't just a few folks in other threads who had no idea it's a blackout...

They were sharing the Scarletknights.com promotion. If I have a doubt about something, I'll check the website. Now that may not be the end all, be all, but it's a start.

It's on the website as well. Technically, you're on social media since you're here. This is the OG of social media!

Major adjustment for me, I have my go to good luck red sweater uniform I always wear.
It’s really good luck and I feel me and my outfit is important because my home record is impeccable.
Then I’m reminded everyone’s home record is impeccable…lol

I am having the same dilemma about my red block R hoodie. Now, I did have that on during the Maryland stink bomb, so the black hoodie may not be a problem.

Personally not a fan of blackout games but if it gets the team and crowd pumped up, I’ll allow it.

I suspect by the 80 in your handle, you have paid your RU dues as a fan and then some - so you are allowed to allow this!

If they want a true blackout they should find a sponsor and give away shirts on every seat.
In Waters' first year (during that run when we beat 4 ranked teams at home), I believe Coca Cola had a promotion in the 100s for the ND game on ESPN. They left white and red t-shirts on alternating sections for fans to wear. Looked great when I saw the highlights on TV.

We can’t even get half the people in the 100s, including a lot of students, to wear red, but they should work out fantastically I’m sure (eye roll).

I defy you to find it anywhere obvious on the website. If you click on the main page there’s no mention. Also, no mention on the men‘s basketball main page. I also never got an email from RU today or before announcing the blackout. I’ll be in black because of the mention on this site, but I’m a diehard season ticket holder and avid reader of this board. How are they getting the word to the thousands who are not? Let’s start with the fact that the damn mobile ticket should say so, but it doesn’t.

ok, now I will go back to eating my grape nuts . . . .

It took about five years after I gave Rutgers an email address before I started getting emails. Now, if the golf team gets a new shipment of golf gloves, I hear about it.

It’s the same crowd that complains about digital tix I bet.
