Talk Hawkeyes

Iowa is planning another Blackout Saturday this year on October 28th.  Everybody is encouraged to wear as much black as possible.  It creates a really weird effect on your eyes.

I was not a big fan of the first one.  Black blends in too much and makes the crowd seem smaller than it really is.  Wearing white or gold would pop out more but would not provide as many t-shirt sales.

Maybe my feelings are just tainted by the 11 penalties and overtime loss against Michigan during last year’s first Blackout Saturday.  I will particiate in the event.  It is kind of eerie when that many people all wear black.  It feels a little like a funeral.  But I am hoping that it fades out very soon.
