This summer, Old Dominion coach Blaine Taylor made a sudden and seemingly rash choice: He decided to shave his mustache. There was no real reason, other than preference, for Taylor's shedding; he had been thinking about shaving it for a while, he said, and decided to finally pull the trigger.
This week, we'll lose another of college hoops' truly great pieces of facial hair. On Tuesday, Temple announced in a brief release that coach Fran Dunphy was also planning to shave his trademark mustache. According to the school, the shaving "will�mark the first time in 40 years (1971) that the Owls’ coach will have a clean upper lip." That's a long and storied mustache history. So why is he shaving it now?
The answer is simple enough: Dunphy is shaving it to honor former player Dionte Christmas's graduation. Christmas will be present for the, ahem, ceremony, which will take place Thursday morning in a media event on Temple's campus.
It's always sad to see a veteran mustache go by the wayside, but at least Dunphy has a reason for his move. The mustache deserves that much.
