Why is it that for the past 3 or 4 days the picture of the day has been womens soccer? I understand that we are having yet another disappointing football season, but at least put up the mens team. that is all.

They are much better looking than football guys. I think it is a recruiting thing.

I was under the impression it was all because of Title IX. You can only show so many pictures of men's athletics without giving a percentage of time to the ladies. We had to use Women's soccer since the equestrian season has not started.

I like seeing pictures of young active women playing sports. My only comment would be to make sure that we see the entire body instead of just head shots. Otherwise keep on so we can keep up.

The pictures are there because we had a women's soccer game shot before we had a men's game shot. We have since had both teams shot, so there will be men's pictures and women's pictures in the rotation soon (as soon as I get ahold of the new images), and there's more football on the way .... not to mention some shots of basketball, golf, swimming, etc. -- some of the images have been seen before, some are new. We go with a heavy football emphasis in the fall, of course -- especially at the end of summer and the beginning of the season -- but we do try to include shots every now and then from all sports.

I dont understand your problem, why not put up a few pictures of the womens team? I rather like our womens soccer team, and volleyball and basketball, and swimming, etc. I've met Carley, the girl in todays picture, a few times at other events, and she is a very sweet girl, and an excellent athlete. I'd love to see more pictures of her. And Olivia O'rear. and Natalie Peters. And Katie Gross. And Laura Cross. and Candace Blackman (with or without twin sister, Jennifer). I think you get the point.

Whats your problem?

You know, we do need some good Boulevard shots. I would take them, but I would feel like a dirty old man. We should get Stallion to do it; he actually is a dirty old man.
