Colorado State to stage "orange-out"
Alright, I'm calling for an official end to the "-out" games. It's getting ridiculous. Sure, it started innocently enough with "white-out" games where crowds would wear white, or the inevitable "black-out" games, but somewhere along the way things got kooky.
We've got blue-outs, the lesser-known brown-outs, red-outs (sponsored by Visine)... it's out of control.
Now comes word that Colorado State is holding an orange-out, which makes sense because their colors are green and... white.
What?
Apparently, the orange-out -- being held at the CSU / Wyoming volleyball game -- is a tribute to Colorado State's past when they were the Colorado A&M Aggies. Their school colors then? Pumpkin and alfalfa. (For those of you without a J. Crew catalog nearby, that's "orange" and "green," respectively.)
Ew. I can see why they switched. Aren't those the official school colors for House of Pain?
Anyway, back to the topic, enough with the "-out" games. Where does it end? Because if there can be orange-outs, there can be creme-outs, maize-outs, FUCHSIA-OUTS. Let me be clear that I never want to see, or hear, or get whiff, of a fuchsia-out. That's where I draw the line.
