This was brought up to me by someone else. I don't see one listed. Usually by now, it has been.
Must have spent all the energy on the Gold Out.

That schedule doesn't show the first game as HOF day either. With the exception of 9/9, every Saturday is black Saturday for me. Come to think of it, I wear black just about every day.
If serving is beneath you, then leading is beyond you.

Black Thursday.
Stink game at KBS is ALWAYS BLACK OUT. And we always wear black to that game too.
It's only a question at all on even-numbered years since Furman is still playing JV football. They were the other white team.

Black is the sign of death and despair. We can go promoting this type of color mind set. Think of the poor fragile college students that will have to be submitted to this disabling color, much less the administration bullying them in to wearing it.






































That's what I do. I gripe and I know things.

Every Saturday is Black Saturday at the Rock in my book. It was that way when I was in school and I think it should always be that way.

Re: Black Saturday 2017 has not been scheduled
I hope this is just an incomplete detail on this year's schedule. Otherwise it has the potential to tarnish DG's legacy among the element of our "family" that has a hard time finding anything nice to say about our former ADs. And some time in future DG will be a former App AD.

Re: Black Saturday 2017 has not been scheduled
Bump.
Less than two weeks before the first game and Black Saturday, a staple of the schedule that survived subdivision changes and new opponents, still has not been scheduled.
Athletics cared so much about the Gold Out, yet Black Saturday has been forgotten.

Re: Black Saturday 2017 has not been scheduled
If they actually don't do it, it will be a real break from tradition. For now I don't see any reason to freak out. How many months' notice do fans need to throw on a black shirt before the game?

Not saying they won't do it. But with all of the racial tension in the country right now I could see them opt to announce it later or not at all.

Re: Black Saturday 2017 has not been scheduled
Every Saturday is Black Saturday for me. Black on black are my favorite uniform combos and we've been doing it way before it was "IN", like 30 years before.
Has anyone asked the athletic department?
