ORANGE OUT THE DOME ON FEB 14TH (Gtown game)

by SUFAN4LIFE34 on Jan 13, 2009 3:23 PM EST

Fans of the CUSE!

Its about time we show the country that we are the BEST FANS in the country! Some of you "fans" will have to step up your game to prove this, others, like myself, just need to be at the Dome (business as usual)

Here is the proposal:

ORANGE OUT THE DOME! YOU MUST WEAR ORANGE TO THE DOME ON FEB 14th FOR THE GEORGETOWN GAME! MAYBE THE UNIVERSITY WILL STEP UP AND HAND OUT ORANGE TOWELS OR SOMETHING FOR US ALL TO WAVE!

It would look AWESOME on TV, and hopefully College Gameday will be there that day! What do you say???????

I SAY GO CUSE!

We need all the papers, the beat writers, and the bloggers to champion this event! Lets get some momentum behind this! AXman, give us a shout out tonight on your show, and every night for a while!

cant we buy washcloths in bulk

at a restaurant supply store or something then dye them with RIT dye? Net cost a couple cents each.

Why get the Rochester Institute of Technology involved?

Screw them.

And any lacrosse blogger worth their weight in national championship trophies knows about rit dye for use in dying lacrosse heads

Hey there is nothing wrong with R.I.T.!

…Someone has to have more bricks than the orange at the free throw line.

washcloths

how would we distribute them though, we would probably need permision from the university if we want to get them out to everyone who walks through the doors. and .02 cents times 30,000 is a bit steep, I think our best bet is to spread the word enough so taht the papers pick it up and get some orange shirts and towells donated…Somebody Email Darryl Gross

ive never liked these little gimmicks

it seems like something a school like providence would do to drum up support. this is cuse, and there’s gonna be 30 thousand + at that gtown game no matter what, most of them in orange anyway. i like to think us cuse fans pride ourselves on coming out and being great fans no matter who we play (after all, what other school could get 20 thousand fans at an NIT game?), not being gimmicky and handing out orange towels to “make our fans better” or “look cool on tv.”

plus, we all saw how well georgia’s fan gimmick black out worked against bama in football this year.

because 30,000 people acting as one

against georgetown is more intimidating than a woman knitting behind the baseline

Just do us a favor and

instead of waving your hands haphazardly behind the basket for every Gtown free throw, move your arms and hands in unison just before the shooter shoots. Statistically better odds of affecting the shot.

and as we do it

chant “Hey… Ho… Hey… Ho…”

by ryanwk628 on Jan 13, 2009 5:17 PM EST up reply actions

this is where cheerleaders come in handy

cheerleaders should actually be leading the fans behind the hoops and instructing them to do that. i think mark cuban was the first person to discover this phenomenon and he thought it would be too difficult to implement at the nba level but thought it was great for college.

by Calogero on Jan 13, 2009 8:58 PM EST up reply actions

so let me get this straight

everyone wears orange= raucous, boisterous crowd all acting as one
everyone doesnt wear orange= the only person in attendance will be a woman knitting?

What a bitch

Put the needle down, lady.

Hey, that "bitch" is DOCTOR Gross' mother!

And she was going to knit you a nice pair of orange mittens, but it seems she suddenly just doesn’t have the time anymore!

yes

this is not a little gimmick!

This will be testament to our fanhood! We are not trying to drum up support, we are trying to bring the Dome to (ill steal from Mad TV) a “Ho Notha Level!” (HNL)…….We will be showing America how awesome the DOME is…….

by SUFAN4LIFE34 on Jan 13, 2009 6:12 PM EST up reply actions

just my opinion

but i think these things show america how lame a fanbase is. hey, i’ll be at this game, and i’ll be wearing orange and cheering as i always do, but i always associate these “whiteout” and “blackout” things with miami heat fans who think just because they all wear white they are good fans. it’s much more important to be loud than to be monochromatic, and there’s no doubt in my mind there’s gonna be 30 thousand screaming cuse fans at this game

by Calogero on Jan 13, 2009 8:56 PM EST up reply actions

you are welcome to your opinion...

…but after I read “you will be at the game and wearing orange and cheering as I always do”, I stopped reading, because my job is done…..I dont need to explain the intricacies of an “Orange Out” or change your opinion….just want you to wear Orange! You will become a believer of the power once you witness the awesomeness!

Gimmicks

Georgia sucks, and southerners are stupid, T-shirts are better than towels so…ORANGE OUT, ORANGE OUT, ORANGE OUT, ORANGE OUT!!!!!

2 thoughts.

1) The Washington Wizards did a “white out” for their first home playoff game against the Cavs last year. I was really skeptical and thought it sounded cheesy. But I stepped into the arena and saw a white shirt on every seat in the arena and it looked amazing. On top of that, the Zards passed out white towels and strongly encouraged (called them out on the jumbotron) fans to put on their white shirts.

It as amazing. Fans got so into the game, white was everywhere, towels spinning anywhere you looked. It was by far the loudest I’ve ever heard that arena. On top of that, it was the only game the Zards won that series, and they won by 30.

1) However, to really get this off the ground with some serious printing stuff (shirts, towels, trinkets, whatever) for the G’town game, we probably would have had to get the ball rolling a month ago. I would imagine it takes at least a month to design and print 30,000 items that are University-approved. Then the logistics behind distributing them. I just doubt anything real serious could be pulled off by Feb 14. Maybe later in the season though…

need a spark

all we need is to start a buzz and get it picked up by a few “important Syracusians” my buddy just called me and said the Axeman was talking about it on his show as we speak, thanks to an Email by yours truly, it’s on the radio already and we came up with this idea 2 hours ago, next stop is the papers, a month is plenty fo time!!! Optimistic Prime baby!!!

Any

TV shows or movies coming out in the next 3-4 months that somehow tie in to the color orange? Any products at all? Anyone who might want to donate the shirts for promotion?
