 The first question asked was: "What's
your favorite sport to watch on TV ??" "College hockey," I reply, to which
the SI guy says, after a pause, "that isn't one of the choices on my
list."
(at least now we know why SI totally ignores collegiate hockey except for
their token one-page coverage of the NC$$ Championship Game each April).
"In fact," he continues, "I didn't think anyone even *televised* college
hockey ...." "Well, surely you have an 'other' category, don't you, ??" I
replied, now determined to be among the 0.001% of their survey respondents
voting for collegiate ice hockey as their favorite TV spectator sport.
"OK, I can do that," he says, then quickly follows-up with "and what's
your favorite NFL Team ??"  Sigh .... I'm pretty sure my vote has vanished
into the SI bit bucket, but we gotta start somewhere .... <grin>

Nice job, Jim.  I often get reader surveys in the mail from SI, usually at
renewal time and often guised as Sweepstakes Entries.  I always put
college hockey as my favorite sport, even if there isn't an "other"
category!!
