Hurricanes aim to 'white out' Gators fans
With Florida Gators fans expected to descend on Sun Life Stadium in droves on Saturday, a Miami Hurricanes student-run organization is calling for a "white out."
Category 5 plans to distribute 6,000 white t-shirts to Hurricanes students and fans for Saturday's contest. The t-shirts are styled with print of head coach Al Golden's orange-striped tie and a pair of Sebastian the Ibis sunglasses.
T-shirts will be handed out at Friday's 6 p.m. pep rally at the University of Miami's Student Activities Center.
"Category 5 is proud to work with the University of Miami Athletics Department to bring specially designed white T-shirts to all students who attend the pep rally in our effort to 'White Out the Gators'," said Andrew Wyatt, president of Cat-5. "We think it adds a unique twist to the gameday experience for students and leads to a greater sense of community as we all stand in strong spirit."
The teams will face off for the 55th time, the first since September 6, 2008 when the Gators defeated the Hurricanes, 26-3. Miami leads the all-time series, 28-26.
