Why no pink for UT?

[JimVol]

I'm kind of scratching my head as to why UT Football choose not to participate in the Breast Cancer Awareness month?

SIAP.. but, to me.. feels kind of like another fail..

Thoughts?

For real?........

 

[Vol_til_I_die]

Not sure. But it really would fit the style that we play. (No disrespect to breast cancer awareness month)

 

[YankeeVol]

I blame Dooley

Or I guess you could say that you only get pink if you win

 

[Gramps]

I think the pink is for the home team only.

 

[VFL10]

I was wondering this as well....

Clearly, UT supports breast cancer

Off season thread if I ever saw one...

(or "seen one" for some if you)

I was wondering this myself. I don't recall any game in October where we ever did the pink thing. I hope it's something contractual or legal, I really hope we didn't just decide not to participate.

I see what you did there.

Must be it

Oh goody. Something new to beetch about. I also noticed Dooley started the game using a cane and then went back to the 2 crutches after the half. I blame that for the loss. WTF was he thinking?

 

[MrSweeneyT]

It's because we don't want to break our stupid tradition of wearing orange & white only. Most people don't even realize that the original UT colors were black & khaki. WE SHOULD BE WEARING PINK TO SHOW SUPPORT. PERIOD.

 

[TlM]

Because it's ridiculous and Dooley declined it as he should.

 

[Insunseri]

Good call...didn't even notice it until just now.

Unbelievable...

 

[1985Vols]

Would hate to see our secondary in pink. They already play like sissies.

 

[King Webbsticles]

Because, frankly, it is stupid to wear pink. It looks tacky and, imo, cheapens the sentiment.

I understand the desire to spread awareness for the disease, but the amount of pink shenanigans are too much. Put a ribbon on the field or on the helmet, don't change your logo to pink. Or camo. Or American Flag themed.

Sorry. Pet peeve.

 

[44DivePlay]

Wondering if it is an Adidas contract thing. Has Miss State or AM worn it? They are Adidas too.

Edit: in support of breast cancer awareness but don't care if we wear pink or not. Ribbon on the field etc would be fine

nicely done







but not sure it'd work with some of the college girls

DeerPark has stated that Dooley declined it. End of speculation.

Reminds Dooley too much of a pink slip.

Further proof that Dooley sucks as a human being.
