I am always divided on blackouts- first, if you do it- do it during warm weather and at night. Easy to find a black teeshirt or sweatshirt than it is to find a black outer coat for a cold game. And at night because some daytime blackouts have been in major heat and for some reason- a f-ing blackout in the sun just makes no optic sense.
But if done right, at night, it can be fun. Also- forget black t-shirts to first 3000- you already told us to wear black- and first 3k will be the people that wore black. Give the black cloths to everyone to be waving during the game. I still have at least 3 of those.
Now- why I hate the for Rutgers- we have a color in our name. Our 2006 crowd shots and the storm the field- was as iconic of CFB as there is anywhere- you mention that game anywhere and everyone remembers th crowd of scarlet rushing that field. Best field celebration image in history. If that was a blackout game...hmmmmm jus not the same.
An- been there many times when a full stadium, everyone in scarlet, night game, 3rd down or "good" RU chant - our stadium and fans make their mark in scarlet.
