ChicagoBlueFan, I agree with you completely. This idea of having a different uniform than the team colors for a single game just feels like a crass money grab by the uniform company and the university. They can sell fans all sorts of new clothing that they will only wear for a short while. In the case of Ohio State they wanted everyone to wear black in the game against Penn State to "Black Out" Ohio Stadium. I assume that is was supposed to be a counter to Penn State's white out, but since white is the Lions normal color a Penn State white out makes sense and is traditional. Just as Maize and Blue is Michigan's colors, Scarlet and Grey should always be Ohio State's uniform colors. I certainly hope your team does not allow itself to go down the "Special" uniform path again in the future (that bumblebee look was not exactly flattering). As an Ohio State supporter, I was not happy at all about see the team playing in non OSU colors. Unfortunately, I suspect we will see more of the same in the future :-(
