It made me wonder...
How do we move forward with the black jerseys?
The way I see it, we have a few choices:
1.) We wear them at our first "big" game - let's say Tennessee. Here is the problem with that. Aren't we saying that we need something extra to win this game? Are we sending the wrong message? Shouldn't we just be able to line up and beat Tennessee wearing any shirt? Also, what about South Carolina - do we unveil them there and give Spurrier something extra to talk about if they beat us - thus wasting the black for later games? Are the black jerseys better suited for home games? Maybe Alabama on Oct 27th?
2.) We wear them from day 1 and we keep wearing them all season win or lose. I like this idea. The Auburn win propelled this team to another level and maybe we should just be in black all year and see what happens. This also eliminates the problem of what do you do if you happen to lose a game in black. If we go with black, finish 10-2, then you just keep wearing them for the SEC Championship and beyond. But if you wear them selectively and lose, then what? I say 2008 is the year we wear black - can anyone chime in on whether we can wear black on the road - I'm pretty sure that SC plays in black sometimes, and I can assure you that Spurrier will put them in black if it means we must wear white in Columbia. Anyway, I say 2008 is the year of the blackout.
3.) We put them away and only bring them out under one condition...we are in the BCS National Championship Game. This idea is intriguing, but maybe not realistic. What if we lose by a field goal to Florida in the red shirts - maybe the black ones would have made the difference...
Any suggestions or other ideas?
I say we start black on August 30 against Ga Southern and we wear them in every game...except 1. We show up in Jacksonville in red shirts, and go right back to black against Kentucky the next week. Just my opinion. That way, when the season is over, and we have our first NC in 29 years, I can make millions off my t-shirt sales.

I suggest you leave them as a symbol of mourning, as you exit the logest winning streak against Auburn in the last 25 years (2 games) and creep back towards mediocrity...
Tough schedule this year. If you run it, you're the MNC. Even if you don't and lose two games (provided one's not in Atlanta) you're still MNC. (you can thank Auburn and their martyrdom in 2004 for your props)
Good luck! Woof, woof!
