Paint it Black: BYU will roll over Oregon State

[TripletDaddy]

Sorry! Didn't know where else to discuss the Black Out. I give DDD permission to suggest a new thread title as soon as the USU game is in the books.

I'm out of the threat title business for awhile. You people get what you deserve. Who needs a (general) conference???? seriously?

Although this one has some great possibilities that could be more offensive than my Boise State thread.

Now that I think about it, this is probably why they are announcing it now. Very few people own black BYU gear. People need time to go to Kohls and Costco and buy the cheap stuff.

I think I will buy my boys blackout gear and surprise them the day of the game.

Yes, I purposely stayed away from any Cougar/Beaver references.

Very few LDS people own any black clothes. I associated black tee shirts with rock concerts and going EMO. It's right up there with a second earring and a small tattoo.

I wasn't talking about that. Making female anatomy jokes about OSU is the equivalent of opposing fans yelling "Breed 'em Young!" or something equivalent when BYU plays. They think it is really clever when in reality it is really not clever at all and making it more stupid is that BYU fans aren't offended by it. Anyhow, props for avoiding the beaver jokes.

I like the Rolling Stones reference, actually. Has potential.

Haven't we suffered enough?

NonononononononoNO!

Why?

WHY?!?!

Other than the laughable Band of Brothers logo on the helmet, I like them.

I agree the typical anatomy jokes are sophomoric and rarely funny. However, being able to use Dam in a thread title, is comedy gold.

He said he couldn't find the uniform thread.

Because the players want to do a blackout. It also helps sell merchandise. Both of these are good things. I'm actually really disappointed that BYU is doing this.

As am I. It's kitschy and lame and disrespectful to everybody that has contributed to the BYU brand before them.

Grr. Very upset.

I'm a little more excited about going to the game now that there's a sweet gimmick! I think most folks will wear black.

It doesnt help sell merchandise when you don't think ahead and have merchandise to sell. As usual, BYU gets a D or an F for their rollout plans.

The Athletic Department plans to sell the uniforms with proceeds going back into the football program. The uniforms will first be offered to members of the Cougar Club, followed by the general public if some are still available.

In addition, the BYU Bookstore has created a special ‘blackout’ shirt that will be available in the stadium after the Utah State game and also at the Bookstore beginning Oct. 6.

So all the old people will get first dibs and then the crazy fans will get sloppy seconds if some are available.

I like that they are selling shirts to everyone but why not have sweatshirts, hats, and the whole deal ready to go for this? They would sell a bunch of gear. This is a huge rev and marketing opportunity down the drain. If you are going to do it, do it right. (do it with me)

I still like the anatomy jokes.
