I took a piece of foil, folded it over to about 6 inches square and was able to direct a fairly tight reflection across my house and out onto the back fence with just a 100 watt light bulb. Again, it doesnt have to be super focused, even just large blobs of light that intermittantly pass across their line of sight will affect them I believe. Just a few folks doing it will not have an impact, we need many many folks doing it. It will be like a disco ball effect I believe.

sea ag, i nominate you to be senior consultant and manager of this initiative!

This is the best thread on the football board all year.

Go Foil!

greatest Aggie joke ever. and the students blind our own team come Saturday

So I went out and bought 10 boxes of foil to pass out at the game
I got first deck so hopefully that will help out some...

Also, we need an official

FOIL OUT TECH discussion started with the stars and all

and we need to create a facebook group and everything


This is what we need to do to win!!!

betaag, seriously, get some students together and test foil vs. compact mirrors from 70+ yards, and try to do it between 11 and 2 pm....let us know how it works.

Meet me in front of the A&M Sports Museum at 12:45 tomorrow if you want to help me practice this...

Also post on here if you are...

Not saying I support the idea at all, but it should simply be "Foil tech", not "Foil Out Tech".

this thread made me laugh...even if it doesn't work I wish someone would try it.

I hope all of ya'll going to the game carry out this valiant and ingenious scheme. Godspeed to all of you!

Yeah, I'm sure a penalty won't be invoked if the home field crowd tries this.

Is this the silliest thread ever?

We also should have dozen egg night

Well, I don't think this is even legal. Do you want to be the cause of us forfeiting the game

either way, it's still a loss. May as well have some fun while losing.

Can you imagine how intelligent and classy our fans would look on TV fumbling around with foil trying to shine it on our opponent?

Geez.

don't get me wrong, i love the idea, but i encourage the students to go to the field and experiment before you spread the word. i think you'll find that even pie pans are simply going to look like silver object from the field, vs. causing any visual disturbance.

I agree. At least be sane with this idea.

Funny thread, embarrassing if yall actually carry this out.

Seriously guys, this is childish and dumb. It was a funny joke, but don't actually do it

And this was only with a few mirrors. Looks like we're having barbecued Crabtree this saturday.

That will hit the news and make first page. And ESPN will eat us alive. Bad idea and If I catch anyone around me doing it this weekend...I'll beat the living piss out of you. If our players can't get it done on the field then we don't deserve to win. We don't need a bunch of cheaters in Kyle.

Now lets say you're outside of Kyle field and you just happen to be in a helicopter with a giant reflective dish...you can't stop that right? I mean...who could predict that?

Or pass around 60,000 ear plugs and have someone bring in a broken audio device that plays high decibel tones. "Who knows where that is coming from? Good thing someone brought these ear plugs." - Crowd,Sherman and Team.

So my morning class was cancelled today so I won't be on campus when I said I would go and try it...can anyone else carry this out...

ok...so foil and mirrors seem like a pretty good idea...

but what about this...

your basic, urea nitrate explosive

Wait a second, I thought we were praying for rain????

Its gotta be one or the other folks, make up your mind!!!!

That'll be funny when 10,000 people are holding foil up and it's overcast.

And when there is a shortage of foil in the B/CS area.

We're going to hear the best pregame announcement ever this week.

Students won't be there to hear it

Home field advantage gains a whole new meaning with the introduction of the Archimedes Solar Death Zone at Kyle Field in mid October 2008.

[This message has been edited by SeaAg96 (edited 10/15/2008 11:39a).]

I have a magnifying glass, will this work from the third deck of the zone?

I have actually experienced something similar to this in reverse. I was at a High School band competition and one of the bands used several giant mirrors as props. The problem was that the sun angle was such that they were reflecting the sun directly into the stands. It was EXTREMELY uncomfortable - not the heat but you literally could not look anywhere near the direction of the field.

we need to get the first deck to focus their mirrors/foil on Harrel, second deck will keep theirs on Leach the whole time repeatedly igniting the playchart, and the third deck will keep the heat on Crabtree.

This seems to be the best plan for victory

I see no holes in this plan.

For some reason this reminds me of the movie "Slapshot".
Q: What are you guys doing?
A: Puttin on the foil coach.
