Only like 2k students will be in black I'm sure. It's nothing significant.

The only way I ever saw the facebook group our heard about a small group of students organizing it was from volnation. Never heard anything on campus or anything. It really won't be that much.

I have a friend who is an insider on Volquest. He know's his stuff. Said that there are VERY STRONG rumors that the team comes out in black uniforms. Take it for what it's worth.

The rumors have got to be true, all you guys better wear black and not make a fashion faux pas. My gawd, how embarrasing that would be.

First post from a long time reader... I am from South Carolina, born and raised. My mother is from Clinton Tennessee. I was brought up a Clemson fan by my father. Found out quick I didn't like them and switched to the Gamecocks by 10 years old. Pulled for them until 92 when I was up here in Tennessee seeing family on a game day. I saw all the ORANGE and had to get on the wagon. No where I had or have ever been was as electric as Knoxville on game day. All the ORANGE just amazed me as it still does.

I now live in Knoxville with my better half. She is from Virginia and also is a VOL fan. She interned here at UT back in 04 and has been a fan every since. The VOL WALK with the Pride of the Southland Marching Band is enough to get the blood pumping of a dead man. Nothing we have ever seen screams history like seeing a sea of ORANGE in Knoxville on game day... And the best part is it doesn't end in Knoxville. The whole state is ORANGE. When they form the T and Smokey and the team come out on the field it's going to amaze anyone who is watching. You can't help but wish that was the team you are pulling for.

While a change for one game would be OK with me if that's what the players and coaches want I really don't care. I will continue to be a VOL no matter what. It will not be but one game. Hope it pulls in a few more recruits. I just want to see a beating in Knoxville the Gamecocks will not soon forget. If you can't get up for football on Halloween night there is something wrong with you. I haven't slept good for a couple of days and Rocky Top keeps playing in my head. Come 7:45 this evening I will be sitting with 100,000 family members waiting to see my team no matter what color they wear.

Great first post! I too agree that the black jerseys aren't going to be a big deal to me if we do wear them. I mean we are doing it for Halloween, if we do it, and no one else has done it for that reason. As long as they come out and play there hearts out, I could care less if they wear pink jerseys.

Where does it say they will wear black jersey's, pants, and helmets? All I saw was that it was going to be a blackout.

Highly doubt we'd be wearing normal jerseys if there was going to be a blackout - better chance of there USCjr showing up in all black and us in all Orange than both teams going in their normal home/away jerseys. A blackout wouldn't make much sense if USCjr wears all black so...

According to Cockytalk, SCjr is wearing white jerseys and garnet pants.

Which would mean we are likely wearing black then. Too much smoke around to not atleast have an all orange vs. all black game or us in black vs. them in normal away jerseys.

There is way too much smoke here. There may not be a blackout, but I am catching wind of the black jerseys now, too. And this isn't another attempt at a UT Plane in NC thread.
