Stripe the Stadium for OU-Notre Dame

Unite the Sooner Nation by coordinating colors Saturday night for OU-Notre Dame.
NORMAN, Okla. -- Sooner fans, the University of Oklahoma is asking you to help "Stripe the Stadium" and coordinate the display of our colors in front of a primetime, nationally-televised audience Saturday.

The OU Athletics Department is encouraging all attending the OU-Notre Dame football game to don either crimson or white depending on their seat location inside Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

Fans located in even-numbered sections are encouraged to wear crimson-colored gear and fans in odd-numbered sections should wear white. OU students are asked to wear crimson.

All in attendance will receive a commemorative OU/Notre Dame rally towel upon entry thanks to the support of Midfirst Bank, Coca-Cola, OG&E and the OU IT Store.

Let's add to the tradition of this historic rivalry as we unite our Sooner pride and continue to be the greatest fans in college football. Kickoff is 7 p.m. Central.

Cool, I'm red. I have plenty of red shirts.

[Boomer.....]

That's more like it! Would be very cool if it works.

[JLEW1818]

Why not put a free shirt in the seat?

[sooneron]

Would be an awesome sight to behold...

[badger]

That's more like it! Would be very cool if it works.

Student section has open seating. They'll probably be the ones to eff it up... STUDENTS!!! I AM CALLING YOU OUT!!!!!!!

EDIT: I see now that they're listed solely as red. Good one, athletic department

[BigTip]

This is cool. I had this thought a year or two ago. I wondered how to get it started. It's a little hokey of course, but it shows how the fans will do anything if they think it will help.

[FirstandGoal]

I would hate to be sitting in the white areas of the stadium

[instigator]

White AD Jersey for me.

Why you be hatin' on the white areas?

So you're saying you would rather be sitting in the section of color?

H8R. This ain't the 1930s ya know.

[MI Sooner]

I'm buying them from scalpers and not bringing two articles of clothing just in case.

LOL, I would only expect red out of you! :D

Seriously though, wearing white is going to suck when its supposed to be cold like its going to be Saturday night.
Oh and yeah, that whole after Labor Day thing that somebody said earlier....

[winout]

Weather forecast looks good.

[SunnySooner]

My boy's white RB85 jersey is allsome, and game-proven to be a winner at FSU last year. Too bad I'll be in effin Maryland, my bro will be there, mebbe I should mail it...

Hell yea! Get on that girl! :star:

[MamaMia]

I'm Crimson too. Plus I have a Crimson OU jacket. So, if I can go, I'll join in.

[TheHumanAlphabet]

WTF??? This will not end well, IMO.

i hope it works out, but...

[Chuck Bao]

White section here, so I'll need to buy a white sweater or something. Not complaining at all, especially if our football team supports the idea and it helps motivate them. I hope it looks good on TV, but mostly I hope it gets crazy and crazy loud.

[SoonerMarkVA]

Why not put a free shirt in the seat?

That would be a lot better than handing out the "rally towel", which frankly makes me think of Willy Wildcat's "power towel". Hand the shirts out according to the section you have on your ticket.

[HToady]

Sent my son (student) to the bookstore to aquire the appropriate colored hoodie.

[StoopTroup]

I have a hoodie that has equal parts Crimson and Cream so as long as I wear it....I should be good. :D

[StoopTroup]

You traveled from Asia to see this game?

All Roads lead to Norman on Gameday so he just hops on a Motorcycle Taxi and is dry by the time he reaches Arizona.

Duh. ;)

[colleyvillesooner]

I'll be amazed if it works that well.

[Mississippi Sooner]

This kind of thing reminds me of back in the day when they'd have those cards in the stands that people would hold up to say things like "Go Bruins" or "Run, Forrest, Run!" or "Stop!"

I just can't imagine having that kind of cooperation from the crowd, especially the student section, anymore.

[49r]

I meant the score.

Penn State 38 Iowa 14


Once the score became 24-0 at halftime and then 31-0 and 38-0, the towels were swung with somewhat less enthusiasm and less often. One couple stopped swinging their towels when a towel hit my face and I asked them to please stop, which we very much appreciated. The other couple kept up their non-stop enthusiasm well into the fourth quarter, as Iowa scored two late touchdowns and I ducked a lot to avoid being swatted. They also left before the end of the game, well before Iowa's last touchdown made the score 38-14 in favor of Penn State.

Obviously, it's not going to turn out like that, but it just seems like gimmicks for gimmicks' sake, IMO.

[colleyvillesooner]

People please have proper towel waving etiquette. Wave the towel in the air, but you are should be bent forward a bit so not to hit the person behind or next to you in the face.

[StoopTroup]

Also...no nachos until we are up 3 TDs. Eat before you go to the game.

[badger]

Being alerted this far in advance it might happen. Then again..


Mostly clear, with a low around 33.
I remember Memorial Stadium turning all sorts of colors when rain hit due to all of the ponchos. People value being warm above being in a striped stadium :)

DId anyone see the marriage proposal in the student section during the K-State game at the end of the 1st quarter done with about 20 giant cards?

Colley is like, the Emily Post of fandom.

[cjames317]

"White Stripes" out. Which of their songs supplies the energy of "Jump Around"?

[En_Fuego]

Why not put a free shirt in the seat?

And a free jacket !

Heh. Anyone that has had an improper towel waver in front of them understands my plight.

That was my son proposing to his girlfriend. Wedding next July.

[mhackl]

I had to buy some white gear, and was able to order a number 56 jersey for the 56th anniversary of the shutout of 56! I'm ready, let's do this!

[spatton713]

I'll be amazed if it works that well.

lol i know i hope it looks that good but for some reason I dont think everyone will participate and crimson will still dominate

[TheUnnamedSooner]

Wear white? But, but, it's after Labor Day!!

;)

[BigTip]

What percent participation you think there will be? The red areas are a given I suppose. But only 1/2 white in the white areas?
Just had a funny thought. Will the stadium be striped red and pink because of only 50% participation in the designated white sections?

[colleyvillesooner]

I starting to think it will be better than I originally expected. It's making its way around Facebook and email for the blue hairs (gotten the link from a few of my parent friends).

i hope you are right it will look sweet

[MamaMia]

The OU stores are full of white and crimson jackets, windbreakers, pullover and zip up hoodies.

I have gotten a few messages about this from people, so it may work pretty well.
