Sea of red

[mike]

No for two reasons were the cornell big RED. and two it could be a distraction. Alittle far fetched but the guys need to be able to pick out white jerseys to pass to. I dont want this to be a distraction to the players i want this to help them. and hey red loos cool.

There's still a possibility of a Friday wrapper or insert in the IJ. As I understand it they wanted to sell a little advertising space on the bottom and were told no by the ECAC. Why they would have contacted the ECAC, unless they wanted to use its logo, is beyond me.

A simple Let's Go Red wrapper would probably do the trick. After all, if we're going to the game, let's go red.

That's so simple it's brilliant.

As long as they're not green, I think we'll be alright.

Call it a "red-out" if you like, but there is only one "Sea of Red" in the sporting world (i.e. a certain football stadium in Nebraska), just like there is only one place that can be called the Friendly Confines (a stadium on the north side of Chicago).[/q]

Yes, and there is only one "Big Red," regardless of what my in-laws in Nebraska claim.

I don't think it would be appropriate, or in our best interest, to bother this guy again with a phone call. He had heard about the movement before I spoke with him, and I suggested that he add a line or two to his article about it. He seemed amenable to it, provided he could confirm with Sue Detzer that it was OK. I can't imagine Sue would have done anything to dissuade him from writing about it.

What I will do, provided I can find an appropriate e-mail address, is forward him a copy of the message I received this morning that was sent to all Cornell Hockey Association Members. That should help with the credibility issue. If I receive any e-mail in response I will post here.

I just sent the message below to Chris Feaver (not Theaver, as I wrote yesterday) of the "Ithaca Journal." I don't expect a reply, as no reply is necessary, but if I get one I will let people here know about it.

Thanks for taking the time to speak with me yesterday, Chris. I have forwarded (below) a message I received from the Cornell Hockey Association earlier today, asking fans to wear red at Lynah this weekend to show their support for the team. I hope that the fact that the Cornell Hockey Association is supporting this effort gives it enough credibility that you'll be able to help spread the word too, through your article in tomorrow's paper. The contact information for the person taking the lead in this, Will Devine, is included in the message from the CHA.

Thanks again for your help.

Whoops! When I wrote that I somehow confused the fact that Will and Mike were two different people. (Those one syllable first names throw me all the time.)

I didn't mean to slight you Mike. Sorry.
