The Fundamental Nebraska Problem With Trying To Do A BIackout

Great, let's just keep the Sea of Red tradition.

DING!DING!DING!

We have a winner. 

Nebraska, demographically, is 86% white. Pale skin washes out the black gear.  Even if we got the university involved and handed out free shirts, we'd still have a half washed-out stadium.  No matter what we do, we'll never have the look we're interested in. 

Plus, all the rednecks in the stands makes the Sea of Red even redder!!!

I will tell you if I attended a game where they tried to do a coloring type gimmick I would wear red. Why? Because part of Nebraska is the Sea of Red. I don't get to attend many Nebraska games, so any chance I get to attend a game I wear red to be apart of the Nebraska tradition.

I would really like to see a red and white combo like Iowa or Tennessee does. Also a huge fan of penn state’s white out. Sea of red still has a large component of white and black shirts on a normal Saturday. 

It’s funny that when it gets to colder weather you see a lot more black and grey jackets at the stadium, yet people don’t seem to b!^@h about that. Only time people b!^@h is when the student section tries to do something cool and people stomp their feet like a bunch of 3 year olds.

So should we try a white out?

White Outs work for Penn State, which (unlike Georgia) has a population with similar demographics as Nebraska.

It is also a school color (well, cream is, but white is close enough) so that would quiet the "BLACK ISNT A SCHOOL COLOR! GAWWW" crowd

 

[hskrpwr13]

The fact that NU's colors are Scarlet and Cream wouldve been my answer.

Disagree with you Knapp. I didn't see non-b******* because of skin color. I saw non-b******* due to red shirts.

Good job on trying to move the course of the board Knapp!!!!  We need to for sure.

You can't describe a Blackout as a "darker day" without the winky emoji.

One other thing to note is the different angles for the photos at various stadiums.  Take your photo from higher up next time and you'll get more clothing color.

How are you able to type out b******* you wizard?

 

[skersfan]

The only picture shown that looked good, organized is the Penn State White out.  Georgia looks like crap, ours looks like crap.  Just a bunch a people at a football game.  The color black is worn a lot more these days, by our youth.  You could show that to a non Nebraska fan and they wouldn't think anything about it is my guess.
