Rolltide: Be Warned!

Again, I agree with you Sun. If you need your fans to all dress in a certain color to get you fired up ten you shouldn't be on the field in the first place. But when it's done right it does look very cool.
From Stewart Mandel at SI.com:
That anything other than the "White Out" is not worth it. If I was a Circuit City employee trying to woo a customer into buying a $2,000 HD plasma TV, the first thing I would show him is Saturday night's broadcast of the Penn State-Illinois game. Even seeing it for a third time, it was impossible not to be awed by the visual grandeur of Penn State's "White Out," which manages to turn a 110,000-seat stadium one enormous flashbulb. It's powerful, it's organized (right down to the block "S" in one corner) and, quite frankly, it's awesome.
Two words of advice to all the other schools trying to mimic it: Just stop. Seriously. The only tangible effect of Georgia's much-hyped "Black Out" was to turn Sanford Stadium into exactly what that Alabama strength coach prophesized: A funeral. And while the electric atmosphere at Reser Stadium last Thursday unquestionably contributed to Oregon State's upset of USC, an "Orange Out" doesn't make the slightest linguistic sense. (Is it akin to peeling an orange backward?) College kids are a creative bunch. I'm putting my trust in you to come up with something new.

White-out's, Black-out's, Orange-outs are sweet . . . from an viewing perspective.
That was the loudest I've ever heard Ann Arbor this weekend. You couldn't even hear the keys :mj07:
