TrOJans in Black

Just to get things going for Sunday's game at Costco, I have exhumed the following message from Timmeh the Stress Case to TrOJan fans. This was just posted on USC Basketball Update (with apologies for being among the Luddites who do not know how to block and link):

Trojan Fans,

We'd like to ask that everyone attending the game this Sunday vs. UCLA wear Black instead of your usual Cardinal and Gold. We want to show our cross town rivals what fan unity looks like. The game starts at 7:00pm and is a sell out, so make sure you arrive early and help us by being that 6th man out on the floor to give us a real home court advantage. Hope to see you all at the game.

Head Coach Tim Floyd

So, Timmeh wants to show us what "fan unity" looks like. Over at SuC, it looks like empty seats for about 95% of the games.

Perhaps Timmeh wants to capture that warm and fuzzy Raider Nation feeling they have at the Mausoleum. He chose the right color.

I don't think Ben's warriors will be intimidated by the ketchup and mustard crowd wearing their Halloween best.

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of BruinsNation's (BN) editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of BN's editors.

This was an e-mail blast

from Timmeh to SuC fans, generated from South Central. It's posted in the forums at We
WeAreSC.com, if you care to hold your nose and look.

The tagline is

"Black out the Bruins."

From their official site...

Let me get this straight..

..Nike is giving the first 1,000 fans a BLACK shirt? Are they checking IDs? Can anyone get them? Wouldn't it be slick to have bruin fans sweep in there among the first 1,000 and burn their swag after the game?

But, seriously folks, it takes swag to get the Condoms to attend their own roundball games?

Burning questions.

God, it's great to be a Bruin!

Typical of a glorified junior college.

usually when creating a black out or white out or what have you, you wear the same color as the team on the field. So, can we expect the team in black as well?

(side note, how original. We already tried the black unis during Lavin's tenure. I never cared for them myself.)
