Sea of red

[aznxjz]

though annoying, you could probably email a short message about wearing red this friday to your friends, and ask them to spread it to ppl that they know about hockey tickets...kind of like an email chain...

you know, most 'townies' have had season tickets a lot longer than students. plus, more than a few are in fact cornell alumni. as much as i want to see the 80 year old man who used to watch the cornell big red when they skated at beebee lake to start a few harvard sucks cheers, i just dont think it would be the same. (and i doubt that he has it in him!) the townies will get the word, they are better connected than one would imagine.
rant.

if you do it friday, it will be better on saturday. the same 4000 people are going both Knights (pun intended),you can do the C of Red twice. but never again, unless its for the first home playoff series and not other times. too much of a good thing can be bad. like the NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cheer... i wish it would go away.

No, but seriously, an email chain is a good idea.

Hey guys so whats the latest. Has anybody been able to contact the Ithaca Journal or the Cornell Daily Sun?? Let me know. If you want you can EMAIL me at cornellhockey218@aol.com. Lets get the C of red to work and help our team win.

[Mike]

Hey guys if you wanted to call the Ithaca Journal and put in a request for an aritcule in fridays paper about the "C of red" call 272-2321. Let me know if anybody gets ahold of them and let me know what they said.

Silly question, Mike:  If you have the phone number, and it was your idea in the first place, and you really want to see it happen, why aren't you calling the Ithaca Journal to get an article - excuse me, "aritcule" - printed about it?

Or are you just hoping the volume of requests will be what does it?

Frankly, I'm not sure how they could view it as "news."  Maybe a letter or two to the editor could get published, or a sports columnist could be convinced to mention the effort, but that's about as far as I imagine they'd take it.

It's too late for this week's deadline, but did anybody think to call the Ithaca Times?

The IJ will have a preview of the game/series in Friday's edition, and I can see them mentioning in passing the effort in the article.

[mike]

Beej I did call and they said they would have to check. I gave them my number and they said they would call back. Its the volume of requests im trying to get at.

Well, wanting to do my part I just called the "Ithaca Journal." I spoke to Chris Feaver, who is going to be writing the article previewing the Cornell-Clarkson series this weekend. I asked him if he had heard about the attempt to get everyone at Lynah to wear red this weekend, and he said he had heard something about it.  I said that I thought it would be great if he could add a line or two to his piece, mentioning the effort.  In an attempt to give a little more credibility to the whole thing I mentioned Sue Detzer's name, and told him that she had forwarded some information on this to people she thought might be able to help spread the word. Chris said he would ask Sue about it, so I expect we will get our one or two lines in the "Ithaca Journal."

Having done my part as a townie, how about one of the students here with connections to "Cornell Daily Sun" staffers picking up that ball?

This morning I talked to Debbie Miller, who does the "Briefly in Tompkins" column. She said just to email over the "who, what, when & where"; she would send it over to the sports editor & they would see where best to put it. (there is a column in the sports pages, don't remember what it's called, but have seen hockey ticket announcements and the like there).
I was going to post here & have one of you many scribes send the info, then just figured more quickly done just by doing it....so sent if off around noon. I used the "Red Out" phrase that Will used in his email to Sue Detzer (altho "C of Red" seems to be gaining more currency as the day progresses....) and hope that's OK.
Will follow up with Debbie tomorrow & see what's happening with the notice.

On a related note, how about a few flyers taped to the doors at the rink on Friday?...best to get an OK from Sue, probably...she's at sld6@cornell.edu.

I sent an e-mail to the sports department of the Daily Sun detailing the idea.  I'll let you all know if there's any response.

[Mike]

Sounds good guys. I did receive a call back from the Ithaca Journal and they said they have spoke with another person about it and said that they would have to check with Sue. So it sounds good. Looks like its going to happen.
