roll call for our last hail mary

[douglas]

ive called every school the cajuns played from 1957-73 in search of footage for the doc, when i was done i called again, and then again. Getting past the gate keeper is hard, getting someone to actually look for relics from ages ago when it has no benefit to them is nearly impossible, we have gotten lucky twice but now i am contemplating adding a reward of x amount of dollars, i haven't nailed a figure down yet.

may main focus is on the 2 sweet 16 games against k state and louisville. the bonus ones would be anything from the 66 season opening road trip against the likes of duke, houston, vandy, tennessee and auburn. I find it hard to believe the fan bases don't have anything in a private collection.

my next tactic is to reach out to each and every alumni chapter thinking that anyone who is willing to organize a watch party 1,00 miles away from campus will have something or at least know a guy and so on.

my question is who is willing to donate to the pot to make a finders fee a reality? Im going to approach the university about this but im sure if they assist in any way they will simply ask the fan base so im skipping the middle man so to speak.

yes we still have operating funds on hand but they are locked into services we will need to wrap. any and all expenses have been coming out of my pocket directly which i dont have a problem with, but this will require a bit more funds i think. Obviously this has a lot of moving parts to it so if anyone is willing we will discuss further. In the mean time i'll keep grinding away, peace out cajun nation

here is the kstate list of chapters if anyone is in these areas it could help facilitate the process

here is louisville:

i will do all the leg work possible tracking down items, but if a liaison is in the same city as a chapter it could be of help

Douglas, I have a contact that worked for the Louisville Courier-Journal. I sent this to him and he said he has a few avenues and connections he can contact. Do you know the date of the Louisville game?

RP is doing our annual fund raiser in Feb.

Unless you think it would unduly help RP or hurt the Lights Out effort, I would be willing to do a 50/50 split with Lights out at Blackham on the fundraiser.

I am almost positive that the K-State game was broadcast on NBC. You might want to try NBC sports, see if they have an archive of past basketball games. It was played in Houston, I'm sure of that.

You could also try, and I bet they have it, the NCAA. Or they may know who does. I think those games were played before video tape was readily available, on film unless converted. That's why I'm thinking one of the two may have something as its probably a one or two copy deal.

Great to hear

[douglas]

Nbc/universal archives has and I quote "just a huge pile of unlabeled stuff" and the NCAA has nothing outside of the elite 8.
ill find it though, I refuse to give up on this one
