Classic mouth Guard NC vs Creighton?

[Welpe]

I use a classic in basketball, I don't like the CMG in my mouth the whole time.

In football, I use a CMG but I don't keep the whistle in my mouth.

I think Marshall is asking about his patch, not being familiar with North Carolina Agricultural & Architectural

You assume that a perfectly good whistle is an old whistle to me. Again, I probably use a whistle longer than many here that only work basketball. I use whistle during football too and those whistles deteriorate all the time. If you use the CMG, the plastic starts to come off and the little pieces start having to be spit out of my mouth. Then if you use the regular Fox 40 the plastic also deteriorates as well and groves in the plastic develops and they can break down as well. Now just like I would not use a plastic fork over and over again without at some point throwing it out and using another, the same goes for a whistle. They cost only about $5 or $6 dollars for the most part, using a couple during the season is not a big deal or investment. And yes I clean them off, but I would like a newer one every now and then. Is that OK with you?

Peace

Since when are you able to tell me what I am more likely to do?

Great. Not everyone is the same.

You're right, it was a poor attempt at a joke.

I was actually going to add, later, that we have enough things that we need to conform with; the back and forth on this was just funny.

I used to crack a regular Fox 40 every season. No such problem with the CMG. And I can't afford to lose a 6-8 dollar whistle.

You're more of a chewer than I am. I had a basketball partner have to work with a cracked Fox40 for almost an entire half this past season. He showed me at the quarter break and the only response I could make was to laugh at him.

Not chewing as much as biting down hard.

I do wish they made the CMG in black and not the "clear."

For me, I hate the thickness the CMG adds to the whistle. I've bought some "other" whistles -- the Sonik Blast and the Dolphin and nothing fits in my mouth like a Fox40 Classic.

I got it. And laughed. But maybe that actually proves your point.

There is a new Fox40 whistle coming out that has a black mouthguard.
