Auburn planning an all-orange Friday

[Bama1993]

In the words of Pedro Serrano..."Bring that s__t to me, man!!"

 

[bamamoss2]

Nothing sucks like a big orange (whether it is tittisee or awbun).

 

[MalletMan]

Those who don't learn from the history of 'Bama whipping gimmicky-dressed-up-teams are doomed to repeat it.

Bring on the orange.

 

[tide06]

Ugh, all that orange it liable to break the color settings on my tv (or give me a migrane, not sure which is worse).

 

[Ole Man Dan]

I'm glad they are going to rely on this gimmick. The 'Orange-out' will give Mt. Cody an opportunity to have an 'Orange Crush'.

Could it be that:
The jerseys will have: 'Property of Lee County Corrections Department' stenciled on the back.

3 biggest games of the year, all wearing orange? Coincidence? I think not

 

[AUOpus]

Guys.. All Orange is our normal dress for just about every game. Let's not get all excited about nothing. "All Auburn. All Orange" has been going on since Tubbs instituted it. Nothing to see here. Move on.

 

[Vegas4Bama]

If you "Can't" coach,

If you "Can't" play,

you use gimmicks!

Roll Tide Roll, beat the pumpkins!:BigA:

I was talking to a friend in the athletic department at Penn State last week. He told me something that had not occurred to me until that moment. Events like this are timed to coincide with emotional games, and are really driven by a desire to sell merchandise. He said that Penn State had their "white out" this year against Iowa, not to pull the fans together, but to make $$$$. (Iowa has owned Penn State for a while, and the fans/students there hate Iowa).

Kinda took the magic out of it for me... :conf3:

Never thought about that. Makes a lot of sense and probably is the real reason. But in The Barns case I would rather think that after the coaches has spent hours reviewing tape of Bama's defense they are awe struck and girdled with fear of what our defense could do to their offense. So what they do is to surround their team in the safety of their beloved orange in hopes the treat will go away. But in so doing they just reinforce their fear of the inevitable. Does that restore the magic for you?

 

[JohnnyCache]

Oh great. A blech out.

 

[maddog1981]

That's good, let them wear all Orange and they can go pick up trash on Toomer's after the Tide celebrates its' 2nd consecuvtive victory over the Barn. RTR

 

[h2o]

Well, it is hunting season.

 

[AUOpus]

Well, it is hunting season.

Yeah...and Orange means DON'T SHOOT ME! Please....

 

[BamaBoy3684]

So it's orange, not black?:wink:

that's all i've ever seen these gimmicks as. licensing brings in a ton of money.

the way i see it, the barn is busy building up emotion for the game. we are busy preparing. guess which approach usually comes out on top.

Oh jeez...again? Pick someone else for once. It doesn't work on Alabama. Use it against Auburn, LSU or Ole Miss.
