Don't forget! Monday's game is a Stripe Hilton game!

Agreed on the stripes. I didn't notice on TV, but looked like a pretty decent crowd for game-1.
It was a better than normal crowd for the first game.
JMO this striping stuff is a waste of time.

How about 'Let the drunk and rowdy folks in the lower bowl' night?
Agree and if you really want it to work, spend the money and hand out shirts as people enter the game.
Don't get me wrong, if I were going to the game, I'd have worn the needed color, but I wouldn't really see the point, because I know our fanbase and I know it wouldn't work.
Successful striping I think only works if it's a major opponent (KU is about the only one that could be reliable to plan ahead). Not low-level non-league games.
A gold/white/cardinal rush is easier to make happen and even then it has to be high-emotion type of opponent (Iowa, KU, maybe conference opponent like KSU or UT).
I have never seen a well executed stripe/color coordinated game. That's why it's so much more frustrating to see TOE do it successfully each year.
I can understand it being a challenge for football - if weather varies, not everyone has all colors for several different layers of clothing. Basketball shouldn't be a big deal. Get a cheap T-shirt (doesn't even have to have logo/official branding).
I don't think they could get a good participation even if they had the right colored shirts on the seats for fans to put on.
Seems to me the athletics department is just trying to get fans used to doing the color games by doing multiple throughout a season in hopes that it will finally pop off for a big game.
We did our part. I look like crap in gold, but I wore it.
I was able to time travel to the game this afternoon and grab a pic of how well the striping will go...
Yeah I don't understand why they keep trying to stripe the game. I get it for a legitimate opponent where people actually care but it just won't work for Florida A&M.
I'm pretty terminally online and I didn't even know it was a stripe game.
