Whiteout
The whiteout worked surprisingly well. Not only did it look cool, it provided an outlet for political action from the Ag. students with their black “Got water?” shirts. Ryan Mathews perfected the night by putting up ghostly numbers.

51-34
A Boise rock station recorded a parody about Pat Hill before the game. The lyrics include, “He’s got a rock and roll Fu ManChu, and another loss to BSU.” Not only is the song hilarious, it’s now true.

Sean Hannity in the valley
The farmers-vs.-environmentalists battle is heating up as right-wing hero Sean Hannity visited the west -valley city of Huron. Who needs football when you can watch a fight like this?

Fresno man who traded his dad’s car for crack
We wish it was made up, but a Fresno resident really did trade his dad’s Lincoln for $50 in crack. Quick! Come up with as many “Crack for Clunkers” jokes as you can in 30 seconds.

Reel Pride Film Festival
The GLBT festival turned 20 this year and provided an excellent slew of movies normally unavailable to valley residents. What if Sean Hannity visited this instead of that farm?

Ascots
You’re not Richie RIch, Lil’ Wayne or Freddie from “Scooby Doo.” You’re in college, in Fresno, and it’s still 100 degrees outside. Get the picnic table off your neck, and while you’re at it, drop the clown shoes, painted-on pants and dog collar you call a belt.

GOT WATER? Yes! The shirts were a great addition to the made-for-ESPN-themed “white-out” to showcase the plight of our farmers not having water. But, the hundreds of “Got Water?” shirts were made in Nicaragua! What about the California cotton farmer? What about the American textile worker? The US garment maker? Yes, a fine example of hypocrisy at its best.

Tell it like it is….those aggie students need to spend more time thinking outside the farm…..more time in research and academically inclined statements.

There is plenty of hypocrisy to go around. How many people are out there paying twice the price for their american made t-shirt? Want to pay a lot more for your food? You’ll love where our water policies and priorities are taking us!

I would challenge anyone to find a U.S. Mill that makes sub $2 bulk shirts. You won’t find one. For a non-profit group to purchase 1000 COTTON shirts made in the U.S. and have them printed would be well beyond there budget. Also the shirt I have says it was made in Haiti and imported into Mexico. I’m not a cotton merchant but I was raised a grower and I would bet the shirts are made of U.S. or partly U.S. cotton. Also did anyone notice how the students holding the got water signs kept getting “asked to leave?” Interesting isn’t it.
