OT: Colorado Fans to Wear Powder Blue in Protest

Submitted by formerlyanonymous on

I'll call this one off topic as it really doesn't have anything to do with football. Via DocSaturday, Colorado fans are trying to get their fans to wear powder blue in protest of how bad their team is doing under Hawkins. Got me to thinking, If things ever got that bad, do we wear white pants? Fans show up with non-winged helmets?

Also from that article, ECU is planning a Pirate Out. I'm not even sure what that means, but it's automatically awesome in my book. Didn't think making two threads on the same blog post would be worth it.

If the plan for a "pirate out" is that every fan shows up dressed as a pirate, that may be the greatest thing ever.

That avatar of Swayze is definitely "good Swayze" If there is such a thing. It's from Red Dawn. Red neck Swayze character kills commies, yells WOLVERINE!!!, & spray paints wolverine logo on all the twisted metal that left after they blow stuff up.

Roadhouse is pretty brutal. The over acting& the mullets are too much to take. Definitely not "good Swayze".

After seeing it i was hell bent on goign to West Point.
After I was medically disqualified from the Point, because my dong was too large for military issue briefs there was only one alternate life choice....

WOLVERINES!

Swayze was awesome in everything he ever made. The sliding scale goes from "awesome" in movies like Dirty Dancing, to "super awesome" in everything from Point Break to Roadhouse to Red Fucking Dawn.

Even dressed as a woman in that one where him and Wesley Snipes played drag queens, his unstoppable talent and masculinity melted the screen.

That being said, Ghost still sucks.

how does powder blue denote a protest? I understand its a former jersey color, but really? Does it show rage?

see http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/2009/11/05/colorado-fans-don-th…
for partial explanation.

But, really, this its like the least offensive color around?

Protest in Red, or better yet camo... but talk about colors that lack intimidation or emotion... powder blue is for baby boys and basketball teams that i hate.

rumor has it UConn is asking Cincinnati to cancel their "blackout" on Saturday night in respect for the Jasper Howard stabbing. Not sure how the logic works out with this one.

It's almost a little too late at this point. If UConn were to say "hey, not cool man" 2 weeks ago then fine. After all the advertising the AD has put in (for example, when I go to TheWolverine.com I get an ad for the Blackout because I'm in the local area) the Bearcats can't possibly get the word out to the fans quickly enough.

I just hope that the TV announcers don't bring the controversy up. This is the first inter-conference nationally televised Big East game on a Saturday night since 2003.

If by fag-out you mean the actual meaning of the term faggot (or fagot), that is, a burning piece of wood or a unit of measurement for firewood, then that's funny.

Somehow I think that's not the case here, though, in which case... yeah.

If Colorado's student section really wanted to send a message, they'd wear Intramurals shirts instead.

That, or Colorado College shirts (or some school that doesn't have DIVISION ONE FOOTBALL!!!)

WAYYY THE F OT: Was anybody else excited as hell that Steve the Pirate from Dodgeball had a part in the V pilot?

I need to double-check but I'm positive he said "yargh" as one of his lines.

Could you see the visiting OSU fans reaction if there were 50,000 Woody's and 50,000 Clemson players with Woody hitting the Clemson player in the throat every time Michigan made a play?

of a buck-eye-out on Nov. 21. We can all rally together and poke the eyes of a buck out sitting closest.

Or if that's too violent we could all bring in nuts to the stadium and on every scoring drive toss the nuts out of the stadium. We used to do this with extra points or field goals kicked by the opposition over the net.
