Northeastern game (1/24/15) is Gold Rush game
Check your e-mails this morning.

W&M is making an effort to pack the Kap for the 1/24/15 Northeastern game while, at the same time, having everyone who attends the game wear gold. Hopefully, it's the start of a new tradition.

I've got a group of about 40 folks from the late 70's - early 80's coming back for this game as sort of a Sig Ep reunion weekend.

Spread the word. Hope all Board members can make it back, attend, and perhaps start something with this game, and the hoped-for atmosphere.

Only alums from the 70's and early 80's have gold clothes.

So actually gold then? Or like the yellow t-shirts they pass out to students?

Assume it's the vegas gold we've used for the past few years.

That is unless you happen to own a metallic gold leisure suit. It would be a grand opportunity to break that out.

We have an official shade! Two even! Say goodbye to "Vegas!"

I'd love to actually see those colors on the field/court over the awful metallic khaki they call Vegas gold. I assume we'll be seeing the "spirit gold" in the stands

I would bet most of the students will be there in yellow, since there isn't a lot of 'WM gold' gear

It is "Spirit Gold," not yellow! Aside from the Tribe football helmets, I prefer this shade anyway.


Speaking of this, should we ask the CSN guy to utilize the official WM colorchart RGB #s for our skin?

Sure, like those leisure suits still fit them.

A few Gold Rush tidbits:

--FWIW, I see some of you busting on njalum, and that's fine because his friends do it too, but give the guy credit for wanting improve things. The whole Gold Rush idea was his (with a few others chipping in along the away).

--As for the shade of gold, most of us ignored--or mocked--njalum's request to designate a specific shade. Frankly, we didn't want to make it more complicated for students to attend, and for our older fans, we figured anything this side of a red cardigan would be positive move. But for the OCD among us, I've consulted the university style guide and concluded that "Spirit Gold" (Pantone 7409) would be more appropriate than "William and Mary Gold" (Pantone 465).

--Unofficial Gold Rush rap is here: http://chirb.it/czfFk0

--As the rap suggests, there will be a chance to shoot for $10k and we are trying to get back the former Towel Men!

Got Ribe!

I just went out for drinks with one of our former Towel Men on Monday. He has currently defected and is working at the Ted Constant Center but I'm sure he'd love to make the journey up to Williamsburg.

I would love to be there, but unfortunately have commitments here in GA that weekend, even though the airfare is reasonable, sigh...

Is this an NCAA violation?

Two very winnable games on the road before the gold rush game. With students back, a weekend game, the big win last night, and potentially a winning streak, I hope it's a great turnout for an awesome atmosphere.

I would assume if it is on this board someone has co-ordinated with the Athletic Department to make sure there will be enough seats, concessions, etc???
