Georgia vs. Alabama Game to be a "Blackout"

by Nico2.0 on Sep 21, 2008 10:22 PM CDT Comment 29 comments

Georgia players asked coach Mark Richt on the plane ride home from Arizona if the upcoming game against the Crimson Tide could be a "blackout game" and Richt gave it the thumbs up. Georgia did this for the first time last year and did it for both their home game against Auburn and for their bowl game against Hawai'i. In case you didn't see any pictures of it from last year, it looked pretty cool. More pictures from their blackout against Auburn can be found here

I'm excited that this is being viewed as such a huge game...and how couldn't it be viewed that way featuring two 4-0 teams ranked #3 and #8? I'm also super excited about the fact that I'm going to be there. Here's hoping we fair better than The Barn and Hawai'i did when the Dawgs wore black...

Glad

I’m not the only one who thinks it looks really cool. I’m glad they are taking these extra measures to prepare for us. Once, just once, bama should consider something like this it would be awesome.

But...

…a houndstooth-out just looks so strange on TV.

i think

a houndstooth out would be awesome on tv!!!

it’s easy to get everybody to wear one color. makes it more of a challenge to get different sections to wear black/white.

over a long enough timeline

the survival rate for everything is zero…….

that includes the so-called blackout streak….

the dogs are going down!

Georgia is sitting ducks

bring on the blackout and whatever else they want to try. ASU was missing their best defensive player, MLB gerald munns. If they’d of had him in the game it would have been closer. BAMA certainly has what it takes to keep the georgia rushing attack under wraps, and stafford only has one WR to throw to. Kareem Jackson and Javier Arenas should be able to hold it down in cover 1 situations while we stack up the box. add to all that the fact that BAMA has yet to be in a close game, meaning, we haven’t had to break out page 2 of the playbook. I bet we see some of the young guys, like BJ and Julio, take some direct snaps and other trickery…… All 5 of our O-Line starters should be healthy and in good condition, many of the back ups have seen valuable time as well. We have 4 badass running backs and a stable of WR’s….. the stage is set, BAMA is ready, meanwhile Georgia is just trying to keep their head above water before they get to their bye week.

I smell an upset.

Mmmn, yes

Streak has to end at some point. We beat them in those black jerseys, they won’t wear them again in a long time. Like ND and their green ones.

We should wear our classic . . .

white helmets for the game, and make it a black-out / white-out game. See http://www.nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project//sec.htm.

Hell, no! A tie is like kissing your sister!

Also...

Alabama-UGA will be a College Gameday game!

If all the UGA folks are wearing black...

then shouldn’t all the ’Bama people at the game wear white? Is there some way we can coordinate this?

Good vs Evil

White sounds good to me. RTR. We are going to need The Legend to have his best game ever. RTR

Auburn fans are like slinkys... not really good for anything but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

My dad and I are meeting

my sis and BIL in ATL and driving over for the game and we’re all wearing white.

Might be

a good idea to carry some mace with all those mutts around.

Black and white--hmm...

Hell, no! A tie is like kissing your sister!

White-Out

Let’s spread the word, then—everybody wear white. I think that will be awesome.

Black out

is what Stafford is going to experience after Mt Cody gets a hold of him! They could put on Darth Vader suits for all I care! “There ass we will beat”-Master Yoda
