Q: When's this year's blackout game?
A: It has yet to be determined; we're hoping for a home night game, since the last two times it gave the stadium a unique look (Florida State in '07, West Virginia last year). Won't happen in September this time around, but it could happen for either the Kansas or Missouri games in October if one is selected for an evening (5 p.m. or later) start. You need that combination of dusk/night with it warm enough since most black items people own tend to be t-shirts; though I spotted a couple of tuxedos worn by students last year.

Don't want it to be kNU (thats a traditional one dammit!)... but unless either of these teams is ranked... pfft. Save it for a year.
