'Black out' event causes conflict with 'pink out' supporters

‘Black out’ event causes conflict with ‘pink out’ supporters

Published Nov 5, 2009

A Facebook event urging students to wear all-black to the Nov. 14 football game against the University of Utah - TCU's Pink Out game in support of breast cancer research - has generated debate on campus about what is the appropriate way to show school spirit.

Logan Luzzo, a freshman pre-business major, said he and a few friends decided to create the event in response to recent criticism concerning poor student attendance at home football games. As part of the "blackout," attendees would wear black shirts or pants as a sign of unity and intimidation in the spirit of competition.

Non-athletic events deserve attention too

Published Nov 5, 2009

Student attendance at athletic events is generally less than the athletes strive for, and for the number of hours they put in they deserve more people there.

Well, I'm guilty as charged. I've never been to a single basketball, volleyball, baseball or soccer game. In fact, I've only ever been to football games, which I enjoy very much. All student athletes work very hard and deserve a good crowd to see the culmination of their work.

More important for Frogs to ‘pink out’ than ‘black out’

Published Nov 5, 2009

The fifth annual "Frogs for the Cure" football game will be held Saturday, Nov. 14. As our beloved Frogs continue their winning streak, it is impossible not to be excited for the game against our biggest remaining competitor, Utah. The Utes, who are No. 14 in the Bowl Championship Series rankings, are hoping for a win that will ruin our perfect season. As members of the TCU community, we should do all that we can to show our Frogs that we support them and are excited to see revenge against the Utes.

Students shouldn’t forget purpose of ‘pink out’ game

Published Nov 5, 2009

Students intended to make the football game versus the University of Utah on Nov. 14, a highly anticipated game between two ranked teams, a blackout game - a game where all TCU fans wear black to intimidate the other team. The fans' efforts are understandable. With the university ranked No. 6 in the BCS and Utah at No. 14, the game guarantees an exciting event complete with equally excited fans.

Published Nov 4, 2009

University graduate student Mary Cassaro said her parents taught her the importance of smart saving skills early on. Around age 12, years before higher education was on her mind, she said money earned from the occasional baby-sitting job allowed her to begin a bank account of her own.

"I think that when emergency situations did come it was nice that (the money) was there," Cassaro said. "It was a last resort kind of thing, but it has helped with everything."

Patterson: Frogs can’t rely on fans on road

Published Nov 4, 2009

With No. 14 Utah looming in the distance, Horned Frogs head coach Gary Patterson said in his weekly press conference Tuesday that it is important to focus on what is in front of them as the team prepares for this week's road game against a "resilient" San Diego State Aztecs team.

"I don't think anyone's looking forward to Utah," Patterson said. "I think the fans are, but as far as our kids I don't think so. I think if they would have done that you probably would have seen a little of that against UNLV."
