Eleven Warriors

I was at Penn State last week for a work conference, and I had a chance in the evening to take in the town.  Now, I should preface this by saying I have a lot of friends who are Penn State alumni, and I found the campus to be very charming and the people to be extremely nice.  It was also summer break, so perhaps all the rude jerks were off-campus. 

Checking out my food options, I walked by the famous Sub Shop, and was struck by something amazing.  Keep in mind this photo was taken on May 22, 2013.

I like to think there was someone who had this job, was a little crestfallen by disappointing losses at the beginning of the season, only to get really excited by a win streak until...

I mean, I would have at least painted over the schedule if I wasn't going to update it any longer.  Or, I might have painted over it once the season ended.  But here we are, May 22, and the poor people of State College can't bring themselves to update this schedule, which is painted on their exterior, street-facing wall for all to see.

I almost considered doing them a solid and filling that week in for them. :)

you're on campus today, perhaps your building is saturated with little pink business cards for the following cause:

I suppose this is an interesting idea, but I don't recall how popular it was for the Penn State game last year.  Just can't see it happening enough to make an impact.  

Welcome to the website for Pink Out Purdue! As many of you may know, last year students at The Ohio State University sold pink t-shirts for the Penn State game! These pink t-shirts benefit both the Susan G Komen and Stephanie Spielman Foundations. Ready for round 2? On October 20, 2012, we ask that you, "Let your pink POP!" Wear anything pink you can find! Decorate your clothes, cars, friends, family, and even pets!

What do you think?  Is the weight of the Spielman foundation enough to push this forward?  Personally, I feel like you'd get more bang for your buck to donate the money directly to cancer research and forgo the pink trinket.  I understand the arguement for raising awareness, but I also feel like we've put a big spotlight on breast cancer research, while other types of cancer don't merit ribbons.
