... but just this once.

We’ve been instructed to wear white for tonight’s Penn St.-Illinois game as it will be a “White Out” in Beaver Stadium. We remember the White Out showing-up quite nicely in HD under the lights last year, though, Nittany Lion fans will be hoping for a different outcome this evening as Ohio State used the occasion to trounce the home team.

Anyway, these color-related themes have become all the rage. It used to be Notre Dame would break-out their green jersey every 3-4 years for big home games but now these color-related theme (gimmick?) games are occurring with greater frequency. In fact, the PSU-Illinois game will not be the only “color” game this weekend as Georgia is planning a “Black Out” for their big game against ‘Bama today.

We are willing participants this week as it will be a first for us and we, of course, want to be gracious guests but in the future, we see our participation in these “color” games being as enthusiastic as taking part in the “Wave”.
