Sioux-cia Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Given how active the topic has stayed on the board this week, I had been wondering when G.F. media would take the hint and pick up the story. Personally, I believe this story should go national!! Anyone have any ties to the Jay Leno or David Letterman shows? Quote
forecheck Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 While I'm waiting to hear back from the lady at the bookstore, I called the Holy Cross athletic office to see if they had any other information on where to get jerseys made. I told her we have an order of around 20 jerseys right now, and she was a little shocked. I asked her if the athletic department has thought about auctioning off game worn jerseys since some of you *cough*MafiaMan*cough are a little particular about your jerseys. By this point she was giggling because she couldn't believe so many UND fans wanted Holy Cross hockey jerseys now. I told her we fully planned to flaunt them in front of Gopher fans. Anyway, she's looking into it for me and I will post more as I find out. Quote

OK, rather than waiting for someone else to do it, I sent the following email to NBC. We'll see if anything comes of it. The University of North Dakota recently hosted a Regional Hockey tournament. Holy Cross played the University of Minnesota Gophers here. Holy Cross had some student radio announcers at the game. What they did and their follow up radio clip is what legends are made of. You have to have these young men on your show!! http://college.holycross.edu/wchc/hockey.htm Holy Cross Hockey Mix Jo McIntosh, University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux Fan Quote
Siouxmama Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 I think I'd like to get a jersey as well. While I wait, I'm going to make my own embroidered HC sweatshirt (my sewing machine can embroider). The local shirt maker in GF (don't know who that is) should pick up on that, in case the jersey deal doesn't work out. Still, I think they could make some sales to alot of people who maybe just want sweatshirts or T's. Quote
CLDelvecchio Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Personally, I believe this story should go national!! Anyone have any ties to the Jay Leno or David Letterman shows? Thanks again for continuing to spread this around. If anyone gets any replies from media outlets, could you please forward them along to me? WCHC would love to get copies of the clip and/or discussion of it being played on other stations. I was told via e-mail from a Sioux fan that the sports talk station 1440 AM played the clip this morning. If anyone has a recording (or personal connection to the Grand Forks media) of that or the other airplay mentioned above, please let me know! I also have an e-mail in to Tim Hennesey to see if he can help track down any copies.

Personally, I'd be happy with a replica HC version as I don't have the bucks to spare for the authentic version. Quote

YaneA Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Maybe an auction of the Crusader game-worns with benefits going to the radio station, WCHC, or another suitable beneficiary of Holy Cross' choosing? Quote
Siouxmama Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Don't forget your buddies! Wouldn't think of forgetting you all. Have to keep you happy (how else will I get the collection before Ebay...I mean your sons)!! Quote
forecheck Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Update on the Holy Cross Jerseys: I got a call about an hour ago from the lady I spoke to in the athletic department, and she said that she got a hold of Coach Pearle. He has already begun auctioning off some of the team's jerseys for local charities, but he would be willing to sell us their away (purple) game worn jerseys at an even $200/jersey and take them off the auction if we bought all 20 that he would make available. As someone mentioned, there aren't any names on the back of the away jerseys, and she said he took some of the senior player's names off the list (I'm assuming to give to the players). She was supposed to email me a list of the exact player's jerseys they would be selling to us so we'd know which numbers are available, but I haven't received it yet. Either a slow transaction or she got my email address wrong. I'll post that info on here when I get it. I'm thinking though that the people who want the game worn jerseys can go that route, and the people who don't want to spend that much money can put an order into the bookstore, which sounds like it will take 3-6 months to get them ordered and made. I don't think we would have to buy all 20 of the game worn jerseys to get them at $200 a pop, but that is how many are available. Let me know what you guys are thinking and we can go from there. I tried calling the athletic department back to see if she found any information on just putting in a group order to get jerseys made, but had to leave a message since there wasn't an answer. MafiaMan, I didn't have any better luck finding anything online for getting Holy Cross jerseys made. Quote

I'm not looking to wear a dress (goalie size game-worn), so we'll see what pans out. I like jerseys like a fat kid likes cake! Quote

forecheck Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Any chance of finding sizes? I could scrounge up $200 for the right size. Geez Louise people! I don't know if the person I've been talking to will know the sizes without calling the coach/players to see how wide their girth is. Unless they have a website up listing sizes for the auction that is already taking place. I'll make a note to ask her when she returns my call about ordering jerseys from a manufacturer. Quote

HockeyMom Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Okay, I think it would be really cool if UND fans bought up all of those jerseys! Quote
forecheck Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Okay, I think it would be really cool if UND fans bought up all of those jerseys! It does go to charity.... Spread the word to your friends! So far it sounds like there's interest in 4 game worn jerseys (MafiaMan, Sioux-Cia, and farce poobah). Quote
Goon Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 I bet Quesada jersy is probably worth some money. I wonder if he will get a free agent contract? The kid can play goal. Quote
forecheck Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 Regarding the game worn jerseys, since some people have already been requesting/claiming #'s, I'm going to start keeping track. PM me or post on here if you want a specific number. If enough people are interested in buying these, I should be able to find out Monday when the athletic dept. is open how we can go about buying them. undhockey - #28 farce poobah - #7 and #21 MafiaMan - #19 Sioux-Cia - no number requested yet, although you did mention #19....you and MafiaMan will have to duke that one out.

midnightdj Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 The clip was played on AM1110 WTBQ in Warwick (Orange County) NY on Tuesday March 28 around 8:05 am. Unfortunately no recording of it was made or the discussion on it that followed...but a number of people commented on how great it sounded! Given how active the topic has stayed on the board this week, I had been wondering when G.F. media would take the hint and pick up the story. Quote
Diggler Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 Since I'm totally poor I can't get a gameworn jersey. Though if I get a job, I'll be all over getting one. Quote
