Please, God, no "White Out" this year

I just remembered that the recent "tradition" has been for our first home game to be a white out. Our first home game this year is A&M...that would look like an absolute disaster if our athletic department is stupid enough to go through with that lame-brain idea again this year.

I assume we will since it is "traditional".

A simple solution would be to make it a "Student Section White Out" or something like that, especially since the home opener is the game they typically turn out in full force for. That way, there can be a nice tight block of it, without making every family and random fan feel like they need to buy a white SMU shirt. AND it won't look [deleted] having only 40% of the stadium in white, because it will just be a student section thing and people will understand that.

Even that looks stupid. A little block of white in a sea of maroon. Just tell SMU fans to show up and wear red, white, or blue. That's not so hard, is it?

East, it is for us. Hard. But with white being one of our official school colors...

When ECM is AD, we will start doing white-outs when we are packing the venue with SMU fans, otherwise it looks stupid.
See: Louisville game at Moody last year. That looked great.

Since when, school colors have always been Harvard Red and Yale Blue. Did not start wearing white pants till 1949 or 1950 when we switched from the mole skin pants.

White is a canvas. Our colors are red and blue.

If nothing else, the "whiteout" means a great day on the Boulevard.

How about rock some pastel-colors instead? Maybe a baby blue out or light pink out...you know, re-brand for spring-time ball!

They look just as good in blue or red.

Didn't we have like 3 [insert color] outs one season a few years ago? SMU just doesn't get it

The white out is awful for SMU.
