The Blue Board

No, the color doesn't matter. It could be grey, as long as students and faculty know what to do.

What the hell does anything matter? Just because it has worked to this point doesn't mean it always will. I go back to the 9/11 example. Airport sercurity worked fine up until 9/11, so before that happened was it fine? The guy is just suggesting that they don't mix school pride with a potential deadly situation I see no fault with this.

You are overreacting to say the least. Instead of the guy who is worrying about safety apologizing, how about you apologize for the pointless thread?

No, because he called us morons for no reason. The color doesn't matter, it's the way the system works that is important. The dude is dead wrong, and he took a cheap shot at a horrific incident.

instead of trying to connect someone pointing out how retarded aggy is w/ a random shooting that didn't happen at a&m, why don't you do something productive w/ your time?

It is probably confusing for new students who already know "Code Red" means high alert while "Code maroon" could be anything from a pep rally to apparently a shooter. aTm has a systemic problem of putting brand over substance and usefulness.

Michigan doesn't use "Code Maize." Texas doesn't use "Code Burnt Orange." Alabama doesn't use "Code Crimson."

you know, at some point you'd think you clowns would figure out that if the entire world is constantly calling you out for being morons, you'd stop doing moronic things. but no, you fools just dig your heels in and forge right on w/ being the laughing stock of society. so f*ing embarrassing to have you in our state.

Ever heard ofnew student conference, idiot?

how do you know what these schools use and don't use?

texas absolutely does not use "code burnt orange." i'd put money on the other schools not doing anything of the sort either, because they aren't run by absolute fools.

How is it a cheap shot? It is pretty moronic putting school pride over actual real life danger. Sure faculty and students may know code maroon means danger, but a person visiting college station likely has no idea. The guy has a valid point, and you are whining like normal whenever someone doesn't bow down to Aggie.

well he should have said that about everywhere because their is no universal code for every place out there. if he would have said that their needs to be codes that are universal then i wouldn't have a problem. but he did take a shot at atm with what he said and it was totally uncalled for

This.

It is just plain wrong to do this.

Maybe they should change the stop signs to maroon and the exit signs to maroon.

I'm sorry, is there a person stationed at every entrance to campus explaining what a code maroon is? Of course visitors don't know what it means. Sure, students and faculty might, but what about the parents of a student? What about a delivery guy? What about anybody who didn't receive student or faculty orientation?

To assume that all visitors know what "code maroon" means is just silly and shortsighted.
