Dream-Crushing, Soul-Devouring Juggernaut Shirts

[Jim Hyla]

When I ordered I had a wrong expiration month, they called me at mid-afternoon and when I gave them my number, they said the truck was there right then and taking all AM orders. You can hope.

Yep, I can hope.  Hope for reason to wear it in Detroit.

Did you get a UPS shipment email?

No.

Well that settles it, then.  Cornell has to win this weekend, for the sake of munchkin's (et al) efforts.

Just ordered 2 Juggernaut t-shirts (one for my FF buddy Kim and one for me) and a ECAC championship sweatshirt! I have been thinking about getting another sweatshirt, glad I waited so I could have "Champions" on it B-].

I also told my former Cornell hockey buddy about the shirt, and he went to the campus store and bought one today.

I'll be wearing mine in Detroit whether we win or not, I'm just hoping that we do.

The Ithaca Journal has picked up the story without giving any credit whatsoever to our elf heroines.

A week ago, a college hockey writer called the Cornell men's hockey team "dream-crushers" and "soul-devouring juggernauts."

Later this week, thanks to a rush printing by Ithaca company PSP Unlimited, fans of the team can wear the quote by Brian Sullivan from uscho.com on a T-shirt to the NCAA tournament.

Jeff Frey, lead sales director at PSP Unlimited, said Tuesday, "(Last weekend) we were already talking about T-shirts. We called yesterday and ... got approval to use a portion of the quote. That product has now been created. It's been put online, and it's going out our door in 10 minutes. Fans can wear them when they go to the game in Albany."

Perhaps this should be cross-posted on the JSID free food thread, but late on the story there is a list of ways that local merchants are celebrating/trying to cash in Cornell's success of the weekend.

Meanwhile, Ithaca businesses are celebrating the Cornell's men's basketball team's advancement to the Sweet 16 with discounts for students. "Revenge of the Nerds" discounts include:

* A free drink at Felicia's Atomic Lounge for anyone who can solve a Rubik's Cube in less than three minutes.

* Discounts at Maxie's Supper Club for students who bring their grades -- a 4.0 GPA will get 40 percent off, 3.0 will get 30 percent, and 2.0 will get 20 percent.

* Free dining for Nobel laureates during Sweet 16 week at The Boatyard Grill, half price for Pulitzer Prize winners; to claim discount, bring prize medallion.

* A free macchiato for card-bearing Mensa members at Gimme! Coffee.

* Half-price entrees at Max's Classic American Grill & Sports Bar for customers wearing nerdy Buddy Holly glasses.

* Sweet $16 and Great $8 room rates in anticipation of the next round at La Tourelle Resort & Spa and the Ithaca Downtown Holiday Inn for Cornell alumni and families of current students, limited to the first 16 customers March 25 and the first eight March 28.

Terrible, I can't believe no one got mentioned. It sounds like PSP is the hero.

Agreed.  Jeff was thanking me excessively on the phone for eLynah folks doing all the design leg work so that all he had to do was order red shirts and print them.

Well, I'm thanking you publicly and again. Shout it far and wide.

we also don't know what Jeff said vs what IJ put in the article... oh well.

[David Harding]

I have e-mailed the writer pointing out that she missed the most interesting angle of the story and referring her to this thread.

I am guessing that where they put "..." was the meat of the quote. "We called yesterday and [some very intrepid Lynah Faithful did a lot of legwork, then we] got approval to use a portion of the quote."

I've pointed all my friends to this thread as the origin.  Definitely you guys doing the bulk of the lifting to get it done.  I'm just happy to have the shirts.  Even if Cornell is sticking it to me again on the shipping costs...  ::flipd::

Thanks again for doing this!

[Trotsky]

Our next goal: get Ed Helms to wear it on "The Office".

Oh God.  That is a mission!  :-)

(Even though The Office sucks ass now.)

Can we just send the producers one?  Longshot, but it might work...
