Not that we need any motivation, but it appears we are going to be victims of a USM Blackout on Saturday...

I actually like our odds, as usually these type of special uniform games jinx the host team (outside our Children's Harbor unis, but hey it was for the Children.)

That being the case, do we, as fans, wear white, or will the green be visible enough to not look like we are part of the blackout?

"Blackout," "whiteout," etc games are so lame.

+1000. When they are for a cause, it's ok. Otherwise

They were cool the first few I saw. Now it's just done to death and meaningless.

We should have been motivated being homecoming bait. We weren't.

I agree except for Penn St's whiteout and UT's checkerboard.

I like the themes

For those traveling to the game this weekend, WEAR WHITE!
Imagine if it rains....

Lets give em a Black eye to go with their 'black out'.

i do not like the themes for visiting teams...i guess id prefer for the Blazer faithful to show up in green

You aren't supposed to wear white after Labor Day.

For the record, I like the themes (black out, white out, gold rush, stripes, checkerboard, etc.)

I do too. I'll wear it because the team asked me to.

That's what it's all about.

With game time temps near 50 and falling to the low to mid 40's by end of the game, think I will wear a green jacket. I think that is what the team wants.

I talked with one of the players and he said white would be nice , but the most important thing is that we have A LOT of Blazers fans in the stands

I remember wearing white for McGee. Heck I went out & bought a white t-shirt for him.

That guy was special.

I've never had a coaching hire destroy all of my expectations as thoroughly as McGee did. I truly thought he would be a good head coach and that we had made a splash hire. So very disappointing.

My favorite quote about Mcgee, overheard at a football practice his second year:

"This is what happens when a used car salesman climbs above his station and is given too much responsibility. "

My most memorable McGee moment was when we elected to kickoff to begin both the 1st and 3rd quarters.

My 2nd most memorable was attending the father/son football camp. That was when I got to see first hand the dump our players had to use as a field house / locker room. However I did get suckered into buying a $20 "Ring the Bell" cap directly from McGee.
