Yellow-Out -- Lame Excuse Poll

by Elihu on Jun 3, 2009 11:03 AM EDT

As a public service to Pitt fans, I think we should come up with the best lame excuse for this yellow-out picture. I bet some of you can come up with better excuses than what is listed in this poll. Add yours as comments & if enough people reply to your idea, I will add it to the poll. (I'm assuming I can add items later. If not, we're stuck with what I came up with.)

Poll

The explanation for this picture is:

Pitt scientists are working on a top secret invisibility project for the military. This picture shows how successful they are.

13 votes

If too many people gather in one place, it would be too inviting a target for terrorists. If more people were in this picture, the terrorists would win.

26 votes

There are more people attending the game, but they all just happened to go to the bathroom at the same time.

Someone mentioned seeing Donnie Iris selling Iron City at the beer stand...

…they’re all now verifying for themselves if it’s Donnie or his brother Lonnie.

The picture was taken during a fire drill

I was at a Yankees @ Tigers game about a month ago

and in the (I think) 9th inning this alarm went off and they told everyone to evacuate the stadium. A few minutes later, after probably half the stadium was empty, someone comes on the PA and tells us it was a false alarm, and we can return to our seats.

I feel almost bad for the Tigers fans who had left, and missed the Tigers almost come back, but the Yanks held on for the first win I’ve seen them have in 5 years going to see them in Detroit.

It’s part of an elaborate protest to bring back the famous “Script Pitt” logo.

They all got pissed and left

when they could not figure out the bush-league, video game, fantasy football scoring system employed in order to attempt to confuse people into attending their spring game.

Heres a thought.

PSU had a home game the same day and all “closet” PSU fans went to State College hoping to get a ticket. Their days was ruined once they found out that no tickets were available at the window. The rejected sPITT fans were left to sit in the fields and drink their adult beverages in sorrow. A rucus started amongst them that needed the help of the local police disrupting the officers from watching PSU. This all boils down to the reasoning behind the ordinance that refrains from drinking in parking lots during the game. It’s just a thought.

Settle it on the field!

It is obvious

The fans are paying homage to the history of Wanny’s stache. The picture above was taken during his “wispy” days, when he was around 9 years old. Gradually, they will fill in the area just below the club seats with everyone wearing black. You have to admit that will be quite a tribute. Then slowly incorporate some white/gray hairs in there and we are at present day.

The mass of the Pitt fans in the "empty" seats is so large that the force of gravity created

is so strong it can bend light around them (creating the same effect that allows us to see stars that are behind the sun), allowing us to see the seats behind them, making them appear invisible.

I would have voted, but there wasn't an option for "Pitt sucks".

Seriously, I think more people attend the WPIAL championships than sPitt games.
