Pink Freud
This goofball story out of the University of Iowa, my alma mater (one of them, anyway)...
Hayden Fry (the thinly disguised inspiration for the Craig T. Nelson TV series "Coach") was a psychology major, and had the visiting locker room painted pink, the theory being the girlie color would turn testosterone-saturated visiting football teams into powder puff girls.
Perhaps this year's team should find a way to sneak into the home team's locker room and paint it pink when Iowa is on the road. Iowa has won its two home games this season, but has been blown out in its two road games, getting stomped by Iowa State and Ohio State.

A University of Iowa law professor said the school is promoting homophobia and will challenge whether Iowa is violating NCAA rules by painting a visitors' locker room pink.
...
The color was introduced decades ago by former Hawkeye coach Hayden Fry to soften opponents. But recent stadium renovations added more pink items to the locker room, including lockers, sinks and urinals.
