Email to student season ticket holders - "Sea of Red" Friday Night

If you are a student season ticket holder, you should have recieved this email from athletics:

Dear men's ice hockey season ticket holder,

Below is a message from one of the Lynah faithful. The athletic department
and I support his proposal,

Gene Nighman '81


Fellow students and Lynah Faithful,

Friday night is the biggest home game of the season to date, and the Lynah
Faithful need to bring their "A" game just like the hockey team. We need
YOU to make Friday night a:

"SEA OF RED" at Lynah

Wear anything RED, shirts, hats and facepaint, just be decked out in RED.
Colgate Students are trying to "White out the Big Red" Saturday night;
let's make sure they'll be seeing RED of Friday!
While were at it, lets give the same "Red out" treatment to Dartmouth and
Harvard in two weeks to finish the year out strong.
See you Friday at Lynah!

P.S. Please spread the word to anyone who might be going to the game Friday.



Do please spread the word. Especially if you know someone who can place an article in The Sun or can send an email out to the Townies.

Today, the Cornell Store's email newsletter advertised Friday as Red Friday and is discounting "red" Cornell clothing. Plus it's tax-free clothing week. FWIW.

I didn't get the e-mail. Guess it's a good thing that I wear red anyway.

Don't know if anyone is aware of this, but since February is National Heart Month, and in order to promote increased awareness of heart disease, etc., this Friday Feb 3 is actually the National Wear Red Day.

Was so excited when I got amass mailer from work just now that I was the first to realize this conincidence. But sadly for me, I was beaten to the punch. My e-mail even came along with a quote from the First Lady!

[Q]On Friday, February 3, 2006, Americans nationwide will celebrate the third annual National Wear Red Day by wearing red to show their support for women’s heart disease awareness. The Heart Truth campaign, sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, introduced the Red Dress as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness in February 2003, to help spread the word that heart disease is the number one killer of American women.

“With the many risk factors for heart disease, our greatest risk is ignorance. So I encourage every one of you to go home, pull out your favorite red dress, and tell every woman you know that heart disease doesn’t care what you wear.”
—First Lady Laura Bush[/Q]

2. Brian Tsao mentioned it in his column today in The Sun
3. anyone in the Lynah Faithful facebook group got a message about it

(sorry if any of this is already posted elsewhere...)

Along with that, there should be a mention about it in the Ithaca Times tomorrow. Also, Brian Tsao will mention it again in his article tomorrow in The Sun. Keep spreading the word, we need everyone (esp. the students) in Red tomorrow night!

Chris Feaver at "The Ithaca Journal" said he would mention it in his article tomorrow.

Somehow I feel that National Wear Red Day could make for a fun (albeit obscure cheer tommorow (aka "today")....

thanks for the headups about the sale. picked up a cornell hat (red of course) and also a cornell hoodie zip up. Not sure if you all have been to the Cornell store recently, but they seem to have alot more fitted hats. I found a couple nice ones, and ended up getting the red one w/ the white C outlined in black and with "BIG RED" written in white on the back.

I'm in Lynah Faithful, and didn't get a message. Nothing posted on the group message board either. Good thing I always wear red for games Should be fun tonight!

So did it work?

I thought many more people were wearing red tonight, so yes it did. It also seemed to me that more people wore Lynah shirts to class and throughout the day than usual, which was nice as well.

I would say it did work, esp. in the student sections. It seemed like most people, if not all, had red on there. If you weren't wearing red in Sections A-G, you stood out. The townies had on a lot more red then normal, but not everyone got the message. The crowd was awesome, loudest it's been all year, and it couldn't of been any louder then when we killed off the 5-3 pp for 'gate. Lets keep it up and make sure we do the same in two weeks.

LGR!

Also, for peeps going to Colgate, Red out that place too.
