When it goes too far.

For any of you that watched the BSU win over TCU in the Fiesta Bowl- it was hopefully a great experience. For one individual that may not be the case. Chances are that you’ve heard of the BSU Cowbell Girl by now. But you probably didn’t know that she’s blind*. The sick part about this are idiots that forgot to think and started posting her picture and video everywhere. It’s shocking and sad.

So, congrats to all those that made fun of this person that has overcome undoubtedly great odds to be where they are- you are real wieners.

Now- that being said. My hope is that you would not propagate any of the You Tube video going around or the facebook fan page. That you would encourage those that are participating to stop.

My hat goes off to the young woman that played in the half-time show at the Fiesta Bowl for the Blue Thunder Marching Band.

    Thanks man for keeping it in check. We often jump to conclusions way too quickly about stuff like this. I personally wasn't happy with BSU's Marching Band as a whole, because they just stood in place the entire time. But now that I've been informed of this person on their squad, I can understand that they may just have made this sacrifice in order to include her as part of the team.

    Thanks again man. God Bless.

      Word John. I think the "not marching" was due to Fox coverage. As in- that's the way the producers wanted it.
