Even though I think the ribbons are a marketing scheme (google) the cause is at least legit.

Exactly. Every product you can think of now comes in pink to support breast cancer, but the proceeds from many of these products don't even fund breast cancer research. Like these avatars, they just "raise awareness."

I hate to be the cynical one, but I don't think breast cancer needs any more help with raising awareness. You see it everywhere, and not just in October.

Share the spotlight, breast cancer! You're not the only disease out there, even if you are the most marketable.

There was a debate about this in one of my classes. Breast cancer separates itself in other diseases becasue it just happens to people for no apparent reason other than genes (like testicular cancer). Sure heart disease kills more but this disease is often a result of a habit or behavior like lung, sometimes liver, mouth and skin etc. While I do agree the situation has been taken advantage of, it's really not hurting me any or costing me anything to change my avatar to support something that harms something I love so much...women that is. :)

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
