When you have no ideas, no tradition and no creativity whatsoever, you just take somebody else's time-honored trade and call it your own.
OSU fans are known for waving the wheat (H/T Kansas) and firing their pistols (H/T Tech). This weekend, in a take-off of the Aggies-who-are-actually-somewhat-ok-because-they-have-all-of-those-"cool"-traditions, students are calling for a blackout.
OK, good idea to generate some enthusiasm there in a game that doesn't feature OU (because they really don't give two shits if it's not against their big brother). OU's hoops programs have been known to call a whiteout, which does look pretty sweet over the airwaves.
I'm just sayin ... a blackout at OSU? I think that's been tried before.

An isolated incident, September 2002.
Obviously, it doesn't bother the average aggie. Some of my favorite comments:

Africa = African's (sic) Europe = Europeans
Asia = Asians.
I'm still trying to find Caucasia on the map
The blackout for tonight might turn out to be a bad idea, too. The view from here is obviously that we're deciding between a tall, cool glass of iced draino or ramming out heads through a concrete wall, but we know that OSU winning greatly helps OU this year.
But really ...

Another isolated incident, February 2009.
Hey OSU ... this is a blackout.
