    Tailback, I couldn't access the article.

    But sometimes you confuse me as to who you are rooting for. :lol: :lol:

    I know us Gators want Georgia and Tennessee to lose one more each but Georgia is in position to win the East if Tennessee falters.

    I don't know what happened to the article? Anyway it's regarding a "black out" for Auburn. All UGA fans are to wear black. What a stupid idea.

    As for UGA, They don't deserve a shot at the SEC this year. I don't think there is a team in the East that deserves a chance to play in the SEC Championship game.

    As for wondering who I pull for? UGA most of the time. But when a call for something as dumb as a black out, I do get a kick out of seeing it fail miserably.

    Penn State does White Outs, Texas A&M does Maroon Outs, I think So. Carolina has done something similar...it's college man it's what makes things so much better than the NFL.

    If I'm not mistaken, Purdue staged a "black out" during the night game at R-A against the Buckeyes earlier this season.....Stu?

    Go Dawgs -- but, please, don't flush
    UGA Homecoming fans will be potty trained


    Despite the drought, the laws of hydraulics will still apply at Saturday's University of Georgia homecoming game: People will drink. And people will go.

    Who will flush? Now, that's going to be different.

    Attendants with jobs you don't get by knowing somebody high in the alumni association will be standing by in stadium restrooms to flush toilets and urinals for a steady stream of 93,000 people, many of whom have spent hours doing their best not to be thirsty.

    This week crews were putting signs up in bathrooms asking people not to flush "if it's yellow" and to leave the handle-pulling to attendants.

    It's all part of the UGA's "Every Drop Counts" water conservation effort in the middle of the state's historic drought. Every flush counts in Athens and Clarke County, where residents have cut water consumption by 28 percent since April.

    UGA's associate athletic director for internal operations, Arthur Johnson, said the school is considering replacing all of the stadium's old toilets, which use 3.5 gallons a flush, with new ones that use 1.6 gallons. About 600 toilets are new; 400 are old.

    But two old-fashioned trough urinals with constant running water still will be open for business beneath the west end stands during UGA's match-up against Troy University.

    "We've got a lot of fans in that area that would need to use the restroom, and it would be impractical to ask them to go to another part of the stadium," Johnson said.

    Johnson said there is no effort to urge people to control their own hydraulics by drinking less at Sanford Stadium. It is, after all, game day.

    Terry, yeah, the "white outs" were, I think, started at PSU and that's where they have been most successful.

    Tiller tried to get everybody to wear gold at home games back when he liked gold jerseys for home games...(nobody else liked them). Our gold ("old gold") isn't real vibrant like, say Iowa or LSU and it looked pretty crappy in the stands (just look at the color of my avatar)...plus there was a mixture of gold, bright gold, yellow, etc.

    Then Tiller recanted and went back to what the fans wanted...black jerseys at home...and last year is, I think, the first year they tried the "Black Out" thing...

    It's OK, but not very original when you steal the idea from somebody else and when everyone is doing it. It looked OK on TV but there was too much Red in the stands from visiting OSU fans. :wink:

    At say Nebraska, Michigan, or OSU for that matter, everyone wears the school colors and it shows up well in the stands...at Purdue you get a mixture of black, white, and various gold colors along with folks wearing regular clothes, so the blackout is kind of a good way to get some kind of "home team" effect I guess.
