Calling for a white out sets you up for just this. We don't need to copy someone else. We have black and we have gold as our colors. I don't mean to be uncoperative but I wore a white shirt to a game that never existed. I have never worn anything but black ever since and never will.

Liberty people saying they asked App people if App wanted to wear white and the App people told them no.

It's a shame so many fans would rather be angry at something silly and inconsequential instead of embracing a new idea and trying to have fun. If you believe white "isn't our color" then why don't you complain every time we wear white on the road? If you think it will look like we're cheering for Liberty, ask Penn State if they were ever confused who their fans were rooting for in a white out when the team wore navy blue. Give it a chance, you might just have fun!

A new idea? Why don't you just worry about Texas A&M and we will worry about APP STATE.

I hear ya Mark Ricks. It’s all about having fun. I didn’t mind the white out because I thought we would wear white. I’m more mad about the ineptitude and lack of execution from the athletic department. Why would I wear the same color as the opposing team? If we want to do something new, it should be with something we already wear at home. Like a “Gold Rush”.

The Mark Ricks comment may have been too much. I didn’t mean any disrespect towards you. It was towards Mark.

Agreed. Somehow the nittany lion fans do not start cheering for the Illinois team wearing their white unis into Beaver Stadium. ...and I do not believe the actual Illinois team thinks the Penn State fans are pulling for them ..

I was never going to participate in the white out, but if people wanted to, cool!

The visiting team always wears white for Penn States white out.

I think the only thing they screwed the pooch on (well, outside of trying the white out in general) is they didn't even use the Working aint working snowcap A on the helmets. How are you going to advertise that on all merch and then not even use it?

This makes no sense at all. Why in the world would we ever have a white out in the Rock and CHOOSE to not wear white? I really hope this is the last time we ever try to do a white out.

I dont have any pure white gear. I have a few black quarter zips, dark gray polo, 2 dark vests, a few tshirts, and a light gray quarter zip. Light gray quarter zip it is. Close enough

To me, it's rings either the football team never wanted it and it was all done by the marketing team..

Or the new guy from Penn State understands that's going to be the case.

Or, the Liberty staff that tells their recruits they are on a mountain at 600 ft elevation are just telling lies..

I like the gold rush idea. I have told folks for a long time we should encourage our fans to wear gold to away games. Black doesn’t stand out in anyway on TV. But gold shows up. Even when most of our fans wear black at home it really doesn’t look like we’re doing anything special. It just doesn’t stand out.

Technically, part of Liberty's campus is on Liberty Mountain.

Son called and he has a tree down on his house up above stadium drive. Large tree down blocking road to get out, no power. Kids are getting a bit scared I’m sure. Game is secondary right now guys.

Best wishes.

I've seen multiple reports of massive flooding, trees down, impassible roads etc... I'm in Charlotte and was planning to drive up tonight but the bridge across the New River to our cabin is flooded. Hoping to come up tomorrow and can bring a generator if your son needs to borrow it?
