Color Coordination Instructions for Wisconsin Game

[Bumped. I think we can do this.--AJ]

[Memo dictated by Tad Shamarharhar, Assistant Athletic Director for Color Coordination, Wave Production and Rhythmic Chanting, for general release]

The Penn State game was a great success.  I don't think anyone thought we could get the Kinnick crowd to pull off the stripe effect, but we did it.  Note to self: if I ever realize my lifelong dream of pulling off a coup d'etat in this country, remember that the Iowans follow directions well.  Very well.  Don't write that last part down. 

It was an impressive effort, but I think we have just touched the tip of the iceberg in terms of fan color coordination.  We can, nay, we must go farther.  Here are the color coordination instructions I have prepared for the Wisconsin game:

  • If you are sitting in section 122, row 45, seats 1-15, you should wear navy
  • If you are sitting in section 122, row 45, seats 16-25, you should wear royal blue
  • If you are sitting in section 122, row 45, seats 26-40, you should wear ecru

[50 pages of detailed color instructions follow]

  • And lastly, if you are in section 131, row 1, seat 1, you should wear burnt sienna.

The overall effect should look something like this:

Let's make it happen people.

That is some high quality photoshoppery.

Now that would be epic!

Can the opposing stands wear black and white

and spell out the Declaration of Independence?

I like the fact that you both spelled...

loose incorrectly.

The reverse seems even more common, for whatever reason.

I see lose written as “loose” all the time. It’s frustrating.

let's hold on for just one second here...

this is getting way too close to some kind of kim jon-il-style stunt now. and it’s not possible to get more unamerican than that.

WIth the high unemployment these days...

perhaps that wouldn’t be such a poor investment? We could call it a “work for your unemployment check” day at Kinnick?

/too political?

Yeah, and the DPRKers breathe oxygen too.

You want us to not do that either?

Seems really un-American to tell us what we can and can’t do. And besides, we’re just dressing up. Using cards, that’s what makes it fascist.

good point

wikipedia tells me card stunts started in 1910 with cal versus stanford and those pachoulli and body odor fetishists at the people’s republic of berkely are still unabashed practitioners.

But for now, keep your eye on Kim Jong-il.

it looks like I’m wearing burnt sienna…I’m going to be pissed if nobody else does this…

This kind of sucks in that

my section 131 – the most devotedly Hawkeye section in all of Kinnick – would have to wear combination of red and or white to a game against Wisconsin. I become physically ill at the thought. urp.

While Lebowski references are typically overused
