U of L has designated this Saturday’s game against Syracuse as a “Blackout Game,” and is encouraging fans to wear their black gear to Cardinal Stadium for the contest.
This ... seems like an error in judgment. There are a number of reasons why, but here are the three biggest:
1. It’s a noon game and there figures to be a decent amount of visible red seats.
2. It’s a noon game between a 4-5 Louisville team and a 5-4 Syracuse team.
3. The main draw here is obviously Lamar Jackson’s number retirement ceremony. With that being the case, I’d expect to see a healthy amount of purple and red No.
