Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Orange-Out: The T-Shirt

Much to HoyaSuxa's surprise, there's an Orange-Out coming up.  Yep, February 14th against Georgetown.  Surprised you haven't heard about it.

Big ups to Alex O. (the kids still give Big Ups, right?) for spotting the official T-shirt of the venture:

Orange_shirts_medium

I know Alex isn't too thrilled with the development as its a blatant attempt by SU to cash in on the event. But...did you expect anything less?  And it's not like you HAVE TO buy that shirt to be a part of it.  Hell, take a white shirt and smother it in orange paint for all we care. (Give it a few days to dry.  And don't attempt it while you're wearing the shirt.)

The more important issue that seems to be coming to a head is, as I see it...if we beat Georgetown are we going to storm the court?

I think we are.

And as much as I'm the "have fun you crazy kids" guy, I don't think that would be a good thing in this instance.  I'm sure it will be discussed further below...

February 14th, huh?

Should probably put that on the calendar.

Anyway, does the shirt need to say “Orange Out”? I mean, it’s an orange shirt; isn’t that a little redundant. I mean, it’s an orange shirt; isn’t that a little redundant?

Guy #1: Orange shirt, huh?
Guy #2: Yup, for the “Orange Out.”
Guy #1: No shit.

This shirt has the shelf life of a slap bracelet.

And is the Orange Out actually for revenge? Did Georgetown do an Orange Out a couple weeks back and SU is pissed?

Isn’t the game for revenge? I’m a little lost here. Unless, of course, the Orange Out is the the game. In that case, I guess the fans actually do matter.

No need to show up in 2 weeks, Harris.

fyi

my three daughters still love the slap bracelets

I think

that they are trying to be clever. The shirt does not say “Orange Out – For Revenge”; looks to me like they’re saying we’re “out for revenge” but playing off the Orange Out.

It’s just like the old “Make 7 Up Yours” shirt. Except it’s not funny. At all.

i'll rush the court right now..

i dont give a shit..

funnest part about going to a game is the chance that u might get to RUN ONTO THE COURT and go bizzerk.. if u dont wanna rush the court or see people having fun go to church (or whatever your house of worship is). i’m sure thye will commend u for staying in your seat.

you dont rush when u beat a team ranked worse than u are.. but if they’re your rival, i say waht the hell!!

ATTENTION: Carrier Dome Staff

If you see a child running around on the basketball court at any time today (specifically, right now), it’s orngfan. Feel free to reprimand him, but be warned, he just doesn’t give a shit. He just thinks it’s the funnest thing anyone can do.

by 86trash on Jan 23, 2009 5:15 PM EST reply actions  

im sure i missed a couple in between then ad now i know

by 86trash on Jan 23, 2009 5:16 PM EST up reply actions  

I know you don’t have to buy the shirt, but I really think that unless orange shirts are handed out at the door it’s not gonna work. There’s still gonna be people who miss the memo and show up in a blue sweatshirt. I think that if the university really wants to do this they need to be willing to hand out some freebies.

Thanks for the big ups, by the way. My old ups were getting a little stale.

Go, fight, and win.

NO!

I swear to god, we are not rushing the court. We are too good to rush the court this year. Against anyone. Top 10 teams do not rush the court. Our court rushing last year was annoying. This year would be absolutely stupid. Are we a low-major team that has never won a tournament game or something? Rushing the court against the same team three years in a row would be straight up ridiculous.

by Orange22 on Jan 23, 2009 6:43 PM EST reply actions  

I could use some more orange shirts. I was going to design my own orange shirt that says, "Rock Out With The Orange-Out but I guess they beat me to it. Dang the man.

by Orange Chuck on Jan 23, 2009 7:43 PM EST reply actions  

Rush it!

For us “crazy kids” its really fun to be drunk and in a large group of people(and its better when there are lots of girls!). Rushing it last year was one of my favorite moments for ‘Cuse sports, since I didn’t 2 years ago.

by actioncuse on Jan 23, 2009 8:30 PM EST reply actions  

Don't Rush!

I always refer to Pat Forde’s rules on rushing the court.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=2306416

Under his rules, we don’t rush the court. And really, that is how it should be.

Wow

For an “orange out” the blue letters are awful big…

by actioncuse on Jan 23, 2009 8:36 PM EST reply actions

silver letters though right

Orange Snow

How could we convince to students to use food coloring, or something like that, to Orange Out the snow on the Quad and around the Dome during that Georgetown game.

Has something like that ever been done?

I recall from my days on the Hill the snow was sometimes white – but most often a nice sludge gray color ;-)

by 031501 on Jan 25, 2009 8:48 AM EST reply actions  

That would take a shitton of food coloring

Maybe just write an Orange message in the snow…

Rushing the Court

Should only be reserved for beating a top 5 team who is ranked higher then you. Gtown is not worthy.

Elite programs do not storm the court after splitting the season series with an evenly matched opponent.

by chlutz508 on Jan 26, 2009 1:03 PM EST reply actions  

ESPN Top 25 just posted and

we’re #15, G’Town #23 (thanks to Seton Hall and Duke and WV). Speaking of the Pirates, did they rush when they beat G’Town the other day? If not, I vote not to rush the court.

by sportzbelle on Jan 26, 2009 1:43 PM EST reply actions  

Rush moments I can think of

Had Gerrys shot v Cincy or the win over UConn in the BE tourney been at home… that would be acceptable.

Had damien got that pass in the endzone vs FSU in 2004 we should have rushed.

The first time we rushed v georgetown that was alright because it was supposed to mean we were in the tourney and it was our rival.

We were a top 10 team this year and have been down as of late. No reason the rush because it wont mean that much. We should be able to beat them at home
