Our friends at Boiled Sports, a Purdue blog, have brought something to our attention and we want to spread the word.
If you're going to Bloomington for the Ohio State game this weekend, I have a warning for you - Indiana is going to use you.
Indiana University Memorial Stadium has made a few renovations and now has a brand spankin' new addition to it. But they haven't taken any aerial photos of it yet that they can use for the media guide and other various promotional articles. Their plan is to take these photos on Saturday afternoon.
Here's the kicker - the reason they're taking these photos this weekend is because they know the stadium will be filled to the brim....with Buckeye fans. Buckeye fans wear scarlet/red to their games. So do Indiana fans. That large crowd of fans will all be wearing the same color, and will therefore make it look like the entire stadium is filled with Indiana fans....see the point?
As a result, Boiled Sports has a great idea and The BBC fully supports this movement.....
Wear gray.
If you're going to Bloomington as a Buckeye fan, wear gray. Don't let Indiana use your attendance to promote THEIR stadium.
Wear gray.
Odds are good that Memorial Stadium will be half-filled with Ohio State fans. We've dominated their stadium before, and they're actually COUNTING on that in 2009. We've shown Indiana that we'll be there and we will take over. Here's some awesome proof of that;
We will once again take over their stadium, but don't let them promote their own new renovations by publishing pictures of Buckeye fans.
Wear gray. Please.

One might point out that since this game is being played at night, the Gray will probably look a lot like White, which could potentially play into their hands.
We could always wear something truly offensive…bright orange, neon green, Oregon Uniforms…to really destroy the picture =)

Hey guys,
I’m definitely going with 9 of my Buckeye family/friends. I live in Indianapolis, so we’ve been planning on going down to Bloomington since last year. I was curious: Anyone going whom we might be able to meet up with if you’re tailgating? We’re not getting down there until around 5, but I thought I’d still ask so we could maybe meet up with fellow Buckeye fans. I know I’m still rather new to the site, but it would be great to meet some of you. Also, based on the recent facebook post, I don’t know how young you guys are, but I can help out with any “new” ways of reaching out to Buckeye fans. I’m of the ripe age of 24, so I know all about the social networking. Also, I hope you’re right about having a huge base of OSU fans there. I listen to the espn sports show here in Indy and the IU AD was on one afternoon saying that he thinks this will be the year that there are more IU fans. Tickets have been selling like crazy this week to Indiana residents because of the Michigan game. Of course, we can only hope their optimism is growing higher, and higher, as Thadius the gladiator and Lebron in cleats will be smashing and dashing their hopes away.
