This is just a reminder that Blackout Saturday is this weekend for the Arizona game. I'll be there in my black IOWA t-shirt. My wife just bought a new black Hawkeye shirt too.
I hope the turn out is good...I know it hasn't been in the past. Yes, the athletic department could do a better job of advertising the colored themed games, but part of it is on the fans too. I'm tired of the nonconformist elitist fans that think they're too cool to oblige the isochromatic request of the athletic department (that's a lot of big words to say those guys are dumb). Others think that every one should wear gold to every game and that a blackout is unimpressive. If everybody does it, then it will look good. Go back to that dreaded Michigan game that we lost in overtime a few years ago. The stands looked fantastic in all black. I remember my dad went all out for that game with black pants, black shoes, black shirt, black jacket...if only all fans had that kind of dedication.
Anyway, enough ranting. Just wear black, okay?
