Hey. first post. I've been hearing rumors all week about blackouts/lights out. I've heard everything from it being just a fan blackout, to the extreme of UofO dyeing the field black with a yellow "O". Now, if i was living in Eugene now i would just check, but since im living in South Carolina, i was wondering if anyone could confirm or deny these rumors for me and let me know what's going on this weekend.

Officially, the University hasn’t backed the “Light’s Out” campaign. Everything I’ve heard officially is that they hope people wear yellow because it shows up better on TV.
Unfortunately for them, I think that ship has sailed and people are thinking black for this game

It was on the ESPN boards. Apparently this dude’s daughter saw the field and it was black. i dunno though.

It’s no different than green uniforms/green turf, it just looks funny.
It's spelled "T-A-K-O-T-U-E-S-D-A-Y-S-!-!-!."
I support inroywetrust in his support of The VD Special in his support of me supporting Roger Kieschnick in his quest to becoming the best Kieschnick ever to play professional baseball.
That is what I have always maintained when people talk about Boise's field

I’ve never bought into the “blending” thing either, but I do feel like it’s probably disorienting, especially since you never walk on blue. Not a whole ton, mind you, but I feel like visiting players are probably thrown off a bit.
Now 2-0 in Husky Stadium with a win each for LSU and Oregon.
I support Sonja Newcombe for Heisman.

what about black field all yellow? that would look better than black and black i think.

Screw the field, what about he carbon fiber helmets?!
I wanna know when they’re gonna debut those things. I was thinking this game bc it’s kinda (just a little) important to our hopes of a Rose Bowl or a possible national championship appearance. They could be worn against OSU. Idk. I just wanna see the suckers on tv with the best helmets to date.
Seriously...Are you related to Matt Daddy?

rec’d for JMatt Daddy. And also, for your new signature. That is awesome.

Matt Daddy sees many similarities to the DB’s with #20. Matt Daddy is excited to see what Boyett does with the famous #20 jersey.

I see that your mind is made up
As to what jersey you will request for winning the contest, #20.
BUT WAIT!!! Cliff Harris is not number 20!
Moral dillema! What will Matt Daddy do?

Well Matt Daddy’s favorite number has always been #20… there’s no changing that… as for the jersey, Matt Daddy will make sure the name on it is juju.

Methinks Matt Daddy referring to himself in the third person, a la Rickey Henderson, is going to get awfully irritating. But far be it from Gorbachav5 to judge.

I'm picturing less Ricky H, more Macho Man Randy Savage
and that picture / audio in my head is quite entertaining, to be honest.
Now flobbyschmecktively, things get a little harder to judge.

In response to your question, I think the grassroots movement is for people to wear black. As long as people don’t actually black out before or during the game, I couldn’t care less. Just be as loud as you possibly can!
And please, don’t be violent or out of control. We had one of those incidents on national TV already this year, we don’t need another.

I think some variation of this situation will be happening to many people at Autzen this weekend.

Black out of the wrong kind
I agree with Gorbachav5, starting Game Day at 7:00 AM means many on campus won’t even make it to bed Friday night. There’s an awful lot of time until the 5:00 kick off to get hammered. No incidents needed on national TV.
I highly, highly, highly doubt they dye the field black.

Dying the field black is pretty much the most insane rumor I’ve ever heard.

I'll give Quinn
100 Dollars if they dye the field black.
Hi, my name is Connor. Except over on ATQ where I am known as, "JConnor."
Will you actually change your name to JConnorOSU? Cause that’d be way more awesome for the rest of us.

Regarding the complete black uniforms...
I know that I am a bit of a pessimist, but is anyone a little bit worried that given the 5pm game time, the black uniforms will make it more difficult for Masoli to pick up his reads (find his receivers) once darkness hits?
And they played a night game in all black against Arizona last year, one of Masoli’s best passing games of his career.

Great point
Although if they do, I’m not going to be TOO worried about it. But…I don’t know, that kinda makes me nervous. Hopefully the numbers will be flourescent green/yellow.

So word is that this guy Matt Daddy
is this total jerk who gets guys from other blogs thrown off, doesn’t know anything about the Oregon ducks nor their defense one bit… and is a complete and utter a$$hole to anyone who comes on here.
If I were you I would change my name to something totally different so as to not be associated with this guy one bit.
P.S. I heard he actually stalks Cliff Harris too. So watch out.

Yeah, Matt Daddy has an unhealthy obsession with Cliff Harris...
I have heard rumors of a 500,000 foot restraining order in place. If only Matt Daddy would relaize that stalking the poor litte fella throws off his focus and preparation for the games! Sheesh. A total inconsiderate jerk!

I also heard Matt Daddy doesn’t shower, has bad breath and has overall poor personal hygiene.

That Barkley picture cracks me up every time I look at it.
Looks like the ultimate doofus.
He may be the greatest, smartest guy in the world, but I don’t care. CaDuck’s caught him with the doofus face, he’s a doofus.
And JuJu just may not like a doofus.
