Smart trying to exhume the UGA Blackout

[mikes12]

I always thought these [color]-out games were gimmicks from the athletic departments designed to spike sales in shirts.

To be fair, they've lost a lot more games in their red jersey's. Maybe they should ditch those :biggrin:

Oh it is definitely worth it. Keep in mind that Georgia was on top of the world, cocky, arrogant, and knew they were going to beat us badly. We were coming off a 7-6 season in 2007 and they had beaten us in overtime that year.

As Redwood Forrest mentioned, you will be treated to some fantastic shots of the Georgia crowd, as reality was hammered down on them.

Even the announcers were stunned. At the end of the half JPW dropped a perfect TD pass over Julio's shoulder. The announcer goes "Are you kidding me?!?!"

Just curious, anyone recall a game where UGA won one of their "blackout" games? I can't.

Auburn 2007 was the famous one

Well, to be somewhat objective - maybe, not traditional - UGA's colors are red and black. So wearing black isn't too much of a stretch especially when compared to some schools that opt for a "blackout" and just choose to wear that color.

Bad idea then... Worse now.
Smart was part of the Beat Down on Ga. in 2008... He knows better.

I don't think that a "pick your color" out game is a bad idea. It sells merchandise and it gets fans into a game. The only problem would be if the coaches and team put more emphasis on that game/opponent than another in the season. Because, win or lose, you have to take the field the next week. Suddenly the next game is not as important? Where do you go from there?

Your team just played their best game of the year. Now you go all gimmicky? Doesn't sound like a good idea but he's their coach.
