That Climacool Mesh really honors his memory. Good thing they highlighted it or I would have missed it.

The real question is what Pat Tillman would have thought about this. Having read some of his letters home from the war, I doubt he'd be in favor of it. Seemed like a pretty humble guy.

Posted: **Thu Oct 29, 2015 11:22 am**

Yeah I think it is a shitty play on his memory to build brand rivalries and profit off his image. Doesn't matter if it is ASU or not I think it sucks overall.

Scummy, i get that asu sends money to the foundation whenever they sell products with his name or likeness or number on it but is still just a way of them to monetize him and make money off of it. Just leaves a bad taste in my mouth and only comes off as a marketing scheme and money grab by asu whenever they do this stuff.

I've always felt ASU takes the Pat Tillman stuff just a litttllle too far. And I'd say that about any institution. It's hard to express in words, and I'm sure Tillman would love that money is being raised and people are being helped via his name/legacy, but I would confidently bet he'd want all the praise and branding toned down a notch.

yup this.

Tillman would be very proud to see the foundation and the charity work all the good stuff that is done there but I think he would frankly be extremely embarrassed by all the t-shirts and banners and uniforms and marketing and praise and all that stuff

if Tillmans closest family is all right with what ASSU is doing then that is good enough for me. And Scummy, I would be remiss if I didn't say thank you for your service to all of us.

I get that you will reach to hate on anything ASU, but I don't see the issue with ASU, (and ASU football in particular) embracing Pat Tillman. You can bet your ass the Tillman family would not be assisting in everything if the school was just trying to make money off Tillman.

ASU has the second largest student veteran enrollment in the country (behind only Texas A&M). As a combat veteran myself, I will always be grateful for the treatment, amenities, and guidance provided me while a student veteran at ASU. They do a great job with their veterans, and much of that is done with the assistance and guidance of the Tillman foundation. I can provide stories of veterans I know who have been personally touched by CTG and his staff (with absolutely no media involvement) that speaks to the genuine respect and admiration of military service by CTG and his staff, but I doubt it would do much to deter you from your diatribe.

Got it.

Quick question: What diatribe?

I very much doubt Tillman would have been comfortable being the focal point of of anything having to do with military service. Tillman understood the selflessness of military sacrifice. (Even when he enlisted he did not hold a press conference to let the world know.) But again, his family has been pretty protective of his legacy. They are instrumental and have final say in everything ASU does regarding Pat Tillman. As long as they are involved, and as long as what ASU does draws more attention to Tillman's story and the Tillman Foundation, then I am all for it.

Keep in mind, the Pat Tillman Foundation does not benefit only ASU. The foundation has provided scholarships and academic support to veterans and their spouses at over 100 universities. There have been at least 10 scholarships given to veterans or their spouses to attend UofA.

Really wish we had played Oregon this year instead of Stanford. We'd be 6-2 currently.

Posted: **Thu Oct 29, 2015 10:13 pm**

And 4 minutes later Oregon has scored two Tds and is winning haha

Posted: **Thu Oct 29, 2015 10:27 pm**

Bull shit they over turned that interception

Posted: **Thu Oct 29, 2015 10:27 pm**

Wow pac 12 refs just reversed a legit int and scum tie it. Replay is useless.

Posted: **Thu Oct 29, 2015 10:29 pm**

It's not even the first time I have seen this crew mess up. I know that's on the replay guy but this crew is bad.

Posted: **Thu Oct 29, 2015 10:47 pm**

Oregon's defense is terrrrrrible.

I've said before that I clearly don't understand replay.

The times where they say they have "conclusive evidence" are mind blowing to me.

Posted: **Thu Oct 29, 2015 10:53 pm**

I wonder if this isn't an "PAC elimination game" but a "you're fired" game.

No offense, but some guy named named Tillman threw an interception. ASU loses!

Perfect haha

Sun Turkeys drive to the National Championship left the Freeway in Texas, had to take state roads after USC, went to county lanes after Utah and were last seen tonight on some Forest Service road in the Tonto National Forest.

Posted: **Thu Oct 29, 2015 11:54 pm**

Still have to play @wsu, @cal and home against Washington and us. 7-5 is probably a best case. We aren't very good this year either but when Asu throws around the national title talk as much as they did, this will be great seeing them finish like 6-7 or 7-6

Posted: **Thu Oct 29, 2015 11:59 pm**

Apparently Norvell decided to dial up a Pete Carroll special at the end there

Posted: **Fri Oct 30, 2015 12:11 am**

I had the sweet pleasure of sitting front row in the double inferno for the whole game and then that ending

Posted: **Fri Oct 30, 2015 2:14 am**

Oregon stole the curtain of distraction from assu basketball fans.

If ASU really wanted to honor Tillman, maybe they could have played some defense.

You've run the ball for 374 yards for an avg. of 6.3 yards per carry. You have 1st and goal from the 3 so you...............................

4th and inches and they run out in a 2 back set but then quickly motion both backs out of the backfield and Berco throws a duck that's nearly intercepted, only to be saved a by a silly defensive holding call.

HOw many times have you seen a team that went 3 of 14 on 3rd down conversions actually win a game?

How many times have you seen a team that talks so much shit about winning a Natty start the season at .500 after 8 games?

Toad losing Paola.

And according to Todd Graham, they're the best.

Posted: **Fri Oct 30, 2015 8:32 am**

I thought the game was over when replay reversed that easy int call. It was a 10 point swing since the scum got 3 and then a quick TD. But then replay confirmed a bad td in overtime and toadster went all seattle in over-time. Glad I am not a fan of either team because today would be rough. You either feel like a lotto winner and stayed up cheering or you cried yourself to sleep wearing wristbands that say NC on them.

Posted: **Fri Oct 30, 2015 9:56 am**

Dark, dark, dark, dark horse national title contender.

(One dark for every loss...and counting)

Posted: **Fri Oct 30, 2015 2:09 pm**

Glad to see the Scum lose but....

Have to admit, that Scum team showed a lot of heart last night. If we don't improve alot by then, they are going to roll us.
