Stripe the Stadium

[VeloClone]

First, this is never going to fly as some kind of fan based initiative. Second, who gives a **** what people wear, we still put more people in the stands than most schools. Some of you really get your rocks off putting down your own fan base, which is really strange to me.

I don't think it is putting the fan base down to highlight what the fanbase does well like showing up to games, being loud for the team, etc. but also recognizing what the fan base does poorly like getting organized for events like this. History shows this to be a fact rather than just some posters' opinions. Hopefully the AD can spring for some shirts to make it happen but even then there might be a lot of fans that need pursuading to participate.

For the CBA game I brought every gold Cyclone shirt I owned. I ended up loaning every one of them out at our tailgate because several people said, "I didn't think it would be that big of a deal" or "I didn't think everyone would do it." Until people start thinking "they are trying to do this and they won't be able to do it without me so I am going to help" it isn't going to be successful. Change starts with one person - me, not someone else.

our fan base gets worked up about the stupidest **** ever, fwiw.

Why for KU?

Why not for Texas so long as things are going well?

That is a great idea. The only issue would be the weather. That part of November could be just about anything. The colder the weather, the less likely they are going to be able to coordinate colors. Most cold weather ISU gear I've seen is red. (Or dark blue. :vomit)

OMG, did you notice the four seats in the upper northeast corners of the stadium that weren't being used! JP should never have built such a large stadium! What was he thinking having open seats!

Also, a lot of people own Cyclone shirts, jerseys, sweatshirts and even jackets, but not everyone owns Cyclone winter coats.

Lol! I participate in these things generally. I bought a gold shirt with CBA initials on it. I still have the shirts they use to sell for the cardinal and gold games back in the day. But give it a rest with the change starts with you rhetoric. We're talking about the color of shirt you wear to a game, not ending racism.

 

[stateofmind]

Let's be woke and set the trend. Let's do the colors of the .

In all seriousness, like gorm said, once it's cold there is no chance. I would never buy a yellow coat or jacket.

The CBA tragedy and stripping the stadium for KU are not even close to apples to apples.

I never suggested that you don't participate. I was suggesting that those who don't participate because "this never works" should just not worry about that and just do their part. And I never said change starts with you. That thinking is the problem.

And LOL back at you for dragging big social issues into this. Just because there are bigger problems in the world doesn't mean that a fanbase can't want to try to do something fun and cool at a football game.

I agree on doing this for KU being stupid but the later you get into the year, the more you have to account for people wearing coats, which makes it even harder.

I'm pretty sure nobody was talking about banning exotic dancers in this thread.

Time to break out the Starter coat.

Listen from the beginning to the 2 minute mark, to Matt Campbell fans are a distraction, and I agree with him.

Thank God. With the labor shortage we should be happy they found work.

Yes. It is a distraction for both teams. So it can be an advantage if your team deals with the distraction better than the opposition.

Just like when I played high school sports. I loved when we had a competition in bad weather - not because I loved bad weather but because I knew that it bothered my opponents more than it bothered me so I thought it gave me an edge.

Yikes… didn’t know this was the reaction this thread would get! Let’s all have a great Wednesday!

Not surprising you missed the point. Using the phrase "Change starts with you" is generally reserved for something truly meaningful like big social issues, not something trivial like making sure we all wear the same color shirts.

YOU DID THIS TO US.
