Navy Nightmare?
I suppose the gimmick urging Auburn fans to don navy colors to the Oct. 31 game against Ole Miss another way to foster school spirit (and purchase navy Auburn shirts solely for this game), but I've got a raised eyebrow. Ole Miss colors are navy and red. I suppose the Rebel fans could get lost in the sea of navy, but what if they choose to wear red?
Nightmare? I can assume this game will be played under the lights, but that announcement has not yet been made. What if it's a daytime game? Then the nightmare gimmick is lost. Since it's a pretty big game, I do believe, however, it will be played at night.
And since the game is on Halloween (wouldn't orange be a more appropriate Halloween color?), why not a more fun promotion? Why not encourage fans to dress in a more seasonal garb, wearing masks, costumes, etc., and call the event Jordan-Scare Stadium (with no offense to Cliff Hare)? It could be a four-hour costume party. Maybe AU defensive coordinator Ted Roof will disguise coverage schemes. My kid will wear a mask because he said he wants to. AU is not imposing its will upon that little monster.
