Not sure why you'd laugh at that gesture for such a deserving cause.

I completely agree with you Smitty!

This cause is not something that should be laughed at... kudos to NMSU for their efforts.

This would look rather good at Fouts one evening:

Can we not laugh at the pink ribbons on a Football helmet and support the cause at the same time?

I fully support the cause and yet I find the humor in it on the field!

Or are we just that uptight as a society?

I support the SGK Foundation, as a runner and contributor (I didn't go today because I am a little late getting started on running season).

At the same time, I too find it odd that we put pink ribbons on football fields and helmets, with football being such a macho, testosterone-charged sport.

I wonder... Can we expect prostate cancer ribbons on WNBA uniforms? :ph34r:

I wonder if we can expect a fraction of the research money for prostate cancer. Short answer to your question. No. Men are evil.

Of course we can laugh. I just don't think laughing at the gesture should be the only reaction. And I know that's not what he was saying, but it is what was posted. And it was just a slip and I know he didn't mean it, as shown by his apology. That's cool.

Now what really would be funny would be seeing a pink ribbon on the chest of Bill Parcells.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      So very true. I guess they use the same financial model as the WNBA. At least in "professional" sports they are salary control and caps. I am not faulting the players, but at some point, all sides are going to have to try and find a solution, or I don't see how many programs continue with football.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here. Actually, looking at the schedule, we do have three Q2 road games (Wichita St, FAU and Temple). They need to keep winning and we will need to win those three to improve our resume.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades
