FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- Colorado State defensive line coach Greg Lupfer has been suspended without pay for two weeks for using a gay slur when yelling at Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl last weekend.

Athletic director Jack Graham also ordered Lupfer to undergo anger management and diversity training at his own expense.

So a two week suspension after the bowl game right around Christmas and New Years? The horror!

But really, unlike bearded dude, he wasn't knowingly representing the university on national television when he did that in the heat of battle. This should be a nice little first offense reminder.

Lolz.

He didn't get suspended for what he said, he got suspended for what he said being broadcast on national TV.

Far worse things are said on the field between players in the heat of battle and in practice coach to player.

I mean it was a grown man jawing with a college kid. In bad form regardless of what he said. I heard all that and worse playing hockey but it would still be tacky to get it from a coach.

Didn't one of the directional Michigan head coaches just get fired for the same thing, NOT on TV but in their own locker room? So yeah, looks like ColoSt(o,my!) is a bit more tolerant and willing to use warnings. Plus, winning a bowl game tends to make coaches seem more wanted than EMU and WMU's seasons.

Not complaining. Just wondering why someone would disagree with me.

This world would be a better place if we focused on what people did with their lives instead of what they said, don't you think?

Or we could just continue this fun game of media gotcha.

Why am I getting minus ones for saying someone who yells homophobic things at young men competing should get fired?

It's pretty obvious. In Texas there are still plenty of people who are okay with using gay slurs and homophobia in general. If you think I'm wrong, then you're a fool

I'm guessing you didn't play much football. If coaches should be fired for yelling slurs then every coach I had in High School and at North Texas should have been fired. Football players and coaches are not politically correct people. Nor should they be. When I arrived at North Texas one of my coaches told us "if you wear your heart on your elbow it's going to be broken a lot here." He proceeded to say nothing said here is personal, it's just football. It was a good life lesson too.

You're getting minus ones because it's an uniformed statement. I think most people are just tired of the PC police. (I won't minus you!)

Homophobic? You really think he's scared of homosexuals? Like Crying Game scared? Last time I checked, yelling a gay slur doesn't mean you are scared of gay people. Stop the PC train, geesh

Of course, we don't know what Halliday was saying to evoke such a reaction - he could have being calling Lupfer's daughter a cheap whore.

I'm sure such insults happen 1000 times during the course of a game. Why is using a gay slur as an insult so horrible that it warrants a suspension?

I was actually a good football player. In no way am I PC police. If people do not have a problem with what he said fine. I am allowed to be against it. That is all.

At least this situation isn't as stupid as Leach at TT. Now that was ridiculous. They went off the word of a spoiled brat who's daddy had a big soap box and got rid of the best thing that ever happened to their program. That situation was blown way out of proportion.

In my book, coaches saying anything detrimental to the opponent players is over the line.

Exactly!

But will there come a day when Army and US Marine Drill Instructors will no longer be able to "verbally abuse" their respective recruits?

I would assume because in any one of our jobs if we said that to someone and it either got reported to HR or heard by someone, we would also get suspended or fired.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
