blackfootipa said:I wish it was a different game. All for Cancer awareness but dislike the idea of seeing a bunch of pink during a night game.

There is only one home game in October and that is homecoming. The remaining games are either in the middle of November (when they have to fit in parents weekend & the military game) or the Savannah State game. Given that the EWU was the closest game to October, it makes the most sense.

Why do we do these themes is my question. I get the blackout or white out as they are generals for usually specificly big games. The cancer thing was nice when that movement first was big but now it doesn't really mean much. The military game is again..I nice thought but I'm not sure anyone really cares. I miss the days of every week just gearing up the maroon and silver and goin at it..then when we occasionally did something different it meant something. The university doesn't get buy in because every week you have to figure out what type of game it is and find try to accommodate it...but it's tasking. Vs having one game maybe that's special and having a special combo...that is much easier for fans to get behind.

like i said we are all aware of cancer. we don't need to dress in pink. cancer sucks and we all know it. wearing pink to the biggest game of home schedule/season... screw that. Lets maroon out
