The school colors for the University of Kentucky are blue and white... Now stay with me here. I'm not throwing out the same old song and dance.
Black is not one of our colors. Grey is not one of our colors. Chrome anything is not one of our colors.
If every other game 90% of the people wear blue... Then what is the point of a blue out? It's just another game. Asking the crowd to go against the norm puts an idea in the minds of those watching from home, in attendance, and on the field, that that particular game is no ordinary game. It's an excitement factor, intrigue factor, and hype factor. Add that in to home field advantage and it's a pretty cool atmosphere. If UK ever has a blackout, greyout... Erm.... Chrome out (I dunno, half price chrome cheer poms at the gate) then I hope people abide and help make the atmosphere as memorable as possible.
You cannot tell me that the S.Car game was anything less than epic. There was a vibe even from home that there was something more going on. Something else at work.
Hell, if nothing else, just do it to mix things up. We're not asking you to wear red or the bad kind of hunter's orange- it's a neutral color to benefit everyone and add a new dimension to a game.
JMO. Give it to Auburn.
