So I'm wandering around on campus during my lunch break, and I happen across what passes for a football pep rally at a commuter university. Tomorrow UCF is playing nationally-ranked Pittsburgh, so to raise local excitement to a fever pitch, athletics boosters erected this makeshift stage in front of the student union and are handing out free T-shirts from it to the fifteen or so people who've bothered to show up.

"Black out the Bowl!" they shout as they hurl these prizes into the eager arms of the listless throng with a frenzy normally reserved for calling bingo matches. "Let's show Pitt our spirit! We'll black out the stadium!"

The only thing I'm not clear on is how they plan to accomplish this goal by passing out gold shirts.
