Creighton Blackout and Yellow Streamers

[Brian]

I love the idea of "blackout" for the creighton game. We need to take this to another level. I think we should bring YELLOW STREAMERS and throw them after our first points as well. Not on the court just in the stands. Anyone with me on this?

That sounds awesome!!

Can't wait for this game and I hope the crowd decides to show up and be LOUD. Against Newman the crowd was pretty lame, hopefully everyone was just saving their energy for Creighton. I was talking to a couple of people at work today and they aren't going because the game is on New Year's Eve. Not sure if they are going to the moon or what but I can't understand what would be more entertaining than a ranked Creighton team coming to play at Koch. The first 5,000 fans will be getting black rally towels, this should be fun.

I think that we should all go in blackface.

I know in the Student section I will be ripping up my Sunflower Newspaper and throwing it sky high during the first points. May not be yellow streamers, but it should get the job done. I'll be telling everyone around me to do the same.

This would be awesome. I know it's unreasonable to do it throughout the arena, but even if just the students did it, it would be incredible. ShockerPhi, go buy a bunch of black facepaint and start passing it around an hour before the game! Or call up a few buddies and share the cost. Party City on Rock road has a lot of the stuff.

If you're serious about getting the arena (or at the very least, the student section) to do this, talk to the athletic department and/or alumni association. I bet you could get the cheerleaders and student ambassadors to hand out streamers or torn up newspaper to fans as they enter the arena or their respective sections.

I think this is a great idea! Let's get it going!

I recall a game I think in the late 1980s in the roundhouse when the whole arena threw up Yellow streamers after the Shockers first score.

The game I am thinking of was against Oregon State and it was on espn. The streamers being thrown up looked great on national TV.

Yellow streamers against a Black out background would look even better.

I think you missed the joke here. I don't recommend this.

[DUShock]

I'll be sporting my gray, I am so stoked!

I think you missed the joke here. I don't recommend this.

I understand the blackface reference, but trying to take it in a different direction. Having the student body in black facepaint would be a very intimidating atmosphere. Even if just the first 5 rows did it.

[JJClamdip]

I think that eveyone that shows up should have their face painted black or turned away.

No exceptions.

This is my soccer teams fans signing "Stand up if you hate Tottenham" Tottenham is Arsenal's hated rival. I always thought 10,000 fans signing "Stand up, if you hate Creighton" at CKA would be awesome.
