There is a online push for huskers to wear black in madison to offset wiskys red. Good idea?

Sounds like a good idea, our D is going to have to win that game for us anyway. I'd do it

Listen I love the "IDEA" of a Blackout but if we (Nebraska) couldnt get up to play texass last season in the red out around the world.... well then what the hell is the point.

I hear ya but the RED OUTS / BLACK OUTS are fan oriented shouldnt effect the play of the team too much.

I think you're missing the point.....the blackout is for the fans to contrast against the red of the Badger fans.....

If we all wear red, nobody will know who is a Husker in enemy territory....

It's all about the fans and contrasting colors in enemy turf.....

It has nothing to do with getting the team pumped up or anything....

Do it! It will make you guys easier to heckle when we win. :)

Seriously, though, it'll be cool if you all wear black. It's always nice to be able to tell fans apart, plus I think it makes for a more iconic imagery. I honestly can't wait for October 1st, and I know I am not alone.

That won't be a problem at all. Husker fans will be cheering, Wisky fans..... deathly quiet.

It's a night game, so Wisconsin students will be blacked out as well.
