Yellow-Out -- Lame Excuse Poll

Large_pittgame_medium_medium

via assets.sbnation.com


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.
24 votes

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.

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.

Proof: All those girls are standing directly behind the one in the Steelers shirt

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.

Or Zug

I'm pretty sure this was

“Monty Python and the Holy Grail” Day for Pitt. What you see are the folks who had made it past the Bridge of Death.

I'm not sure why...

…but I’m certain it has something to do with Zug."

Or perhaps...

This was during the time they put that Fire Swamp around Heinz Field. Personally, I don’t believe the R.O.U.S.’s actually exist…

here is photographic PROOF

Let me know, whose mascot that is?

little did Pitt know...

there was a new exhibit at the Warhol museum followed by a concert by The Clarks in waterfront park

I'm just gonna go with the obvious on this one:

Pitt sucks, and no one wants to waste their time sitting through another crappy game.

everyone was busy

getting ready for the steelers’ game
