As you know by now, Mark Richt has called for a Blackout of the Sugar Bowl by Georgia fans. It's a request I fully intend to comply with as a black shirt looks damn good with the red pants....but I digress. As part of this effort, the Dawgs will be in the black jerseys for the game.
To counter this fashion move, June Jones is asking for a Hawaii Whiteout. I would make a joke about blizzards, but all the references would be lost on them. Anyway, they'll be wearing white tops, white pants and white helmets.
It's times like this that I just absolutely love the College Football that much more. It's absurd really that anyone thinks that any of this matters. But it's even more absurd that it does matter!
By the way, there are several articles running around that say this is the second or third most expensive or best selling bowl ticket in terms of after market online purchases. I think the biggest thing driving the inflated numbers (other than mainland Hawaii fans gobbling up tickets) is the ENORMOUS upper deck and tiny lower deck. Stubhub has uppers for less than face value, but lower level tickets are going for a robust premium.

As long as "Ebony and Ivory" is the halftime theme.
Only mildly related, but this made me think of something. Some guy a few years ago mixed Jay-Z's black album with The Beatles' white album, and it's absolutely mind-blowing. It's tough to find, but worth looking for.
That guy was DJ Danger Mouse who lived in Athens for a while.
I hope we're not comparing those two albums, because the White Album is by far the better album.
UGA really messed up the allotment based on it priority system.
Great...the Goth Bowl.
A blackout might work in Athens, but with the ticket aftermarket scattering fans all over the Superdome, how is this going to look like anything other than salt-n-pepa?
Dangermouse not only lived in Athens, but graduated from UGA.
He has also produced the Gorillaz album and is part of Gnarls Barkley
...not to mention the legendary DangerDoom....
