But that's also the point on why the black jerseys are such an issue - because it's never just "ok, we're wearing them today" and *always* has to be a hype-job. If it is truly an alternate, it should not be a big deal to wear them.

Doing a blackout - if it is ever to be done - should be for something meaningful, not just because the team will be wearing a different jersey. Otherwise, it *is* purely a gimmick.

Also, with black jerseys, game time/temperature is a consideration. Don’t want players wearing black on a sunny, hot game day.

Night is perfect.

And vs ND? What program has a greater football legacy?

We don’t need black to play better or win. We should never wear black if that’s part of the equation. It’s about having fun. Doing something a little different, but that collectively connects the fans & players. Everyone wearing black.

This game is perfect for a blackout. More so than any other game on our schedule. Hosting ND for the first time, ever. It’s a special occasion & is at night.

People really want to wait till TAMU. How special is wearing black against a 3 or 4 loss A&M?

Who else on our schedule is worth wearing the black? In 2019, it’s Notre Dame or nobody.
