We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep.

Can someone explain the logic of:
Home team fans wear white
Home team wears black and gold
Visiting team wears all white

I just hope white flags aren’t waved.

Seems we’re just wallowing in our misdirection in this administration. This is really an embarrassment.

There is an online movement amongst fans to wear black instead.

It’s been my understanding that the players asked for the white out.

A full participation of 107,000 is completely different than a 35k mix & match. Not to mention, white is a primary color of Penn St. App is black & gold, no white.

Understand that. But when was the last time we wore white at home?

If everything in the program is so dayum bad, and there's no good future in sight, why don't you guys just tear up your tickets, cancel your Yosef membership and stay home and watch the Panthers. This negativity and blaming, and scapegoating is getting sickening. It's not the same App Nation we once were.

My best guess is it was the first white out we had at the Rock some years ago. I think that may be the only time we wore white at home in a regular season game.

I love App with all my 46 year old heart . That’s why. Want nothing but the very best for the school and all athletics. It’s why we should be proactive in making sure it’s run the best way. IMO it’s not. Does not mean that some things have been great. But the direction of things is not good.

Yep, you’re correct. And we wore all white, so unsure how we made that happen but failed to do so this time around.

I always wear black…

That being said, the whining and outrage on the socials surrounding this is blowing my mind. It’s getting so old, so fast. Grown men are literally losing their minds over this, posting every 10 minutes about it. If I was in charge would I have organized a white out? No. But I’m also not going to lose my mind over it for days on end.

Just win Saturday!

GO APPS!!

If I were a coach of any athletic team that plays in the sun, I would never allow a black uniform of any kind if the temperature was above 70.

Dont know if it was a "white out " game but as I recall we wore all white when we played UNCC at home a few years ago. I remember Darryton Evans in all white flying down the sideline for a long touchdown run on the first play of the game. I think he rushed for about 250 yards that day and also ran a kickoff back for a TD and got a helmet sticker on ESPN's College Football Final show.
