What is Maroon Out you ask? Well check out this awesomely informative information about Maroon Out. You might actually learn something...I'm sure your profs would be happy!
Maroon out began with Kyle Valentine who was the Junior Class President of the class
of 2000. He was concerned about Texas A&M having to play the University of
Nebraska at home during the fall semester. Nebraska was a top ranked football
program that year and their ardent fans showed up to every game wearing red in
an effort to intimidate the other team. Kyle wanted to match their sea of red
with an even bigger sea of maroon. Maroon out started that year at the Texas
A&M/Nebraska game on October 10, 1998. That maroon out game led to a
national shortage of Maroon shirts. 31000 shirts were sold that year and now on average over 45,000 shirts are sold each year.
Maroon Out consists of 4 directors that plan and organize the entire event. Shirts are sold Tuesday-Friday before every home game, on game day, and online at maroonout.tamu.edu.
Also, here is the schedule of all the past Maroon Out games. We did really
well at first (5-0), but since then we've gone 1-5. Once we beat t.u.
in November, we'll be 7-5 all time for MO!

2000 – Kansas State (#8) – WIN
2001 – Notre Dame (Unranked) - WIN
