From: Jim Love <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: College Hockey on ESPN...Just Maybe! [snip] 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> Cheers from Maryland - Jim ===================================================================== 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!! ************************************************************************** Steve Weisfeldt Go River Hawks!!!!!!!!
