Dumb with the heat index to make these kids walk on pavement almost a mile, senseless exposure, save their fuel.

Our “white out game” last year was against North Texas and we still wore our green jerseys. Guessing that will be the case tomorrow.

It’s for the fans to wear white and honestly, it never looks great unless you get like 90% of the fans to wear white (ie Penn State game).

I don’t like white outs when the opponent is wearing white.

I think the “White Out” has more to do with the heat than anything. Just trying to keep the crowd cool.

Oh I am definitely participating :fire:

If I don’t wear a shirt, I will still get credit for participating in the white out

And speaking of WFNZ, you’ll be able to listen to ECU at Alabama as you make your way to campus tomorrow. :roll_eyes: :winking_face_with_tongue:

42-10. Good guys.

I don’t think their DBs will be able to cover our receivers. We will use the run to setup the pass, but we will bust it open after a bit.
