Title: BR: Bama's All Right with Penn State's All White, White-Out Game Post by: pmull on May 25, 2011, 08:08:15 AM In 2008, Georgia decided to go "Black Out" for the regular season game against Alabama. They were pre-season No. 1 and Alabama was just supposed to be a rebuilding team.
The fact that Georgia wanted to try and include include Alabama on their "Black List" ended up doing little to invigorate their own team and ended up simply motivating Alabama to take away their No. 1 ranking and rub their face in the defeat. A strength and conditioning coach summed it up best when a camera and microphone caught him extolling the players at a practice session just before the Georgia game with his famous statement, "Yeah, they better wear black, they're going to a (expletive) funeral!" Previous to this game, Georgia put on the "Black Out" for games against Auburn and Hawaii. They won them both with ease. They thought this game would make a statement to the world that Georgia was back as a contender. Instead, it simply started their spiral downward, and they still have never come back up yet. Georgia has not donned the black uniforms since. This year it has already been announced that Penn State will be all in white for their game with the Crimson Tide this fall when Alabama goes north to play at Beaver Stadium. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/708662-alabama-football-bamas-alright-with-penn-states-all-white-the-white-out-game Title: Re: BR: Bama's All Right with Penn State's All White, White-Out Game Post by: ricky023 on May 25, 2011, 09:19:19 AM My goodness.
