Do we want Press on the $$$ raised?

[GemParty]

I bumped into http://espn.go.com/chicago/story/_/...ans-print-6300-t-shirts-recruit-jabari-parker while visitng ESPN front page this morning.

Apparently the $$$ were collected from their message board. Whoooopie! We raised that much in about 24 hrs.

I'm surprised none of the Horde, which I know read the board & follow our tweets, have run an article on our efforts to Thank Jim Calhoun. Let alone the front page of ESPN's website. It really has been & continues to be a SPECIAL effort & tribute that will save lives. Definately worthy of some Local/National press don't you think?

Why don't we just go Miami-style and have the board fund up a couple of hookers and booze?

If the school lets the students wear those shirts into the game that is an NCAA violation. I understand the school can't stop everyone if they hide the shirts but they aren't supposed to allow stuff like that if they are aware of it.

Maybe he's good friends with Clyde?

Nah, we don't need to be chasing the press. Besides the only writers that might be intersted have probably been filleted here more than once.

I believe that something is actually going to be presented tomorrow from the Foundation. I'll share the link when it comes out. It will be interesting to see who picks it up.

For the record 6000+ tshirts probably cost about what we raised if not more. And that was for a recruit - not a HOF coach retiring. Pretty impressed, myself.
