BLUE 'EM OUT!!1!!1

by The One That Got Away on Oct 29, 2008 3:03 AM EDT

I just checked my e-mail and saw that I had a message from Coach Nutt in my inbox. If you are a student you got this e-mail, but I figured I would post it in all of its corniness.

Hello Rebel Fans,

I am challenging all of you to show up in Ole Miss BLUE for the game
Saturday versus Auburn. I need you to be in the stands EARLY and be
LOUD!

Help us BLUE’EM OUT!

I know the game is early but come on out and get loud!!!! I need all of
you to be a BLUE force and help us pounce on these Tigers!


See you Saturday,
Coach Houston Nutt

I am not sure how one becomes a Blue Force, or why that should sound intimidating, but I know if there is one thing I cannot stand it is half-assed organization attempts of uniformed colors at the game. Unless you are going to provide the shirts for the fans or advertise this "Blue Force" sooner than four days before kick off you are not going to have any success. I predict this has about as much success as K-Ville/AK's Army's attempts to get students to respect them and their mindless cheers.

I just hope this Blue Out or Blue Force does not become the next Rebel Express, I'm In!, or Red Alert Rebels. Personally, I think Coach Nutt needs to spend more time worrying about the players dredlocks than sending out e-mails over the students listserve.

I really need to stop reading the Spirit board...

I wouldn't mind this much if it weren't for the fact that:
1. It's blue.
2. The Auburn game is 4 days away.

I'm sure I'll still do it, but that's mostly because I have a lot of blue dress shirts.

Atleast he or the fans didn't come out with the "let's wear red because Auburn is blue" crap!

Got Away, you obviously need some more red/blue in you.

I giggle when I think of OM Marketing having to throw out their first and most obvious choice, "Code Blue", from the Cutcliffe taint.

At least it's not "let's give Auburn the BLUES!"

We might end up getting "BLUE balls" with a close loss to Auburn.

Why is there always a wacky pun? Because little old ladies and women in general think it's "too cute."

But it's not "too cute" by my standards. It's a way to get the players more hyped up for a game if it's done correctly. The fans won't be anymore into this game than the South Carolina game.

What in the hell is a "blue-out" anyway? This marketing department must be stopped. While I realize they will never abandon the pun altogether, I'll never forgive them for passing on the golden opportunity that could have been..."Ole Miss Football 2008: A Nutt Above."

This is unacceptable to the female fan base. I need more than 24 hours notice to find a blue dress.

I'm sticking to something from the rotation of red gameday dresses.

Uncool, Coach Nutt. Uncool.
