OT - maize/blue striped shirts/sleeves?

Submitted by skwasha on

I noticed a good portion of the student section wearing maize and blue striped sleeves. It looked like the other student sections had similar gear. Was this something they all got with their FF student tix? Or do they all just shop at the same place?

Anyway, I'm looking to get a pair or two for a friend. Does anyone know where I might find any?

TIA

Givne that all the student sections had them (obviously they weren't all maize and blue, but...),  this leads me to believe that they came with the tickets.  I guess the NCAA is sponsored by a putting-socks-on-your-arms company or something.

Kidding, they were handed out to us. Same with the sunglasses and rally towels. Don't know where you could get them, I can check the tags for the manufacturer though.

The sleeves were given out to every student on Saturday along with a pair of glasses. Then on Monday they gave every student a head band and final four towel. I didn't bring my sleeves home, but a couple of my housemates did.

2) there is probably a lot more stuff on the Internet that is, as you say, gay. Everything from same sex couple parenting tips to porn, you know just like for straight people.
3) you will someday say this word as a pejorative in front of someone you care about that is gay and you will feel awful about it, like i did. It's a good idea to change your thinking on that word, no matter how funny you might think you are.

If someone is offended by gay then they are way too sensitive. Our country is becoming a big bunch of babies. There isn't anything wrong with being gay, but stop being a bitch. There is something wrong with that.

It's sad to me that everyone is so easily offended now.

I feel like I can't even call you an overly sensitive clown without being moderated by someone. It's sad when the idea of civility is more powerful than the truth.

It's sad to me that our school system is failing us because children's vocabulary don't consist of better adjectives  than "gay"

lol - I knew that comment was coming when I posted... But they actually are for a female friend who calls uniforms "outfits" and the extent of her sports knowledge ends with "Tom Brady? Oh he's the cute one..."

It's surprising to me how little people think.  Slurs can be used for comic effect sure, but slurs against marginalized, persecuted, and shamed minorities are tacky and in extremely poor taste.  When will we start using a slur for "educated white male" to describe things?

 

Oh wait, not surprised at all.
