Call to arms: ATTN fellow CFB bloggers

Wednesday, August 31, 2005 at 08:52PM

Let's get in on this "Blog Aid" tomorrow.

Email me collegefootballresource-AT-hotmail.com if you plan on getting involved.

For the gist of it, read the early part of this entry or here or here or here.

Basically, you blog tomorrow at some point about the hurricane, pointing people to a charity of your choice. Its simple. Just contact TTLB on the linked form (easy) to get on their list, and let me know so I can send people to YOUR blog as well.

One day, one entry, that's all.

Remember this hurricane was so powerful it has submerged one of the CFB member institutions, canceled games to several others and brought challenging weather to much of a region considered college football central. This affected the game we love and many of the teams and fans that make it so great. Help some of those trying to give a lift to those affected and join in.

PS-I've chosen the Humane Society as the charity to promote. Animals greatly help people cope. It helps if organizations can recover and bring to good health stranded animals.

The University of Southern California School of Pharmacy is helping in whatever way possible. We just hope it can make a difference for a few people.

That's great to hear. A pharm school has a lot to offer come to think of it.

well I don't know if the school administration is setting up anything extensive... right now it's just a donation box started by students being passed around lectures.

Oh. Its a start. Some kind of proactive effort. USC was college of the year in 2000 for its community efforts, after all.

Thanks for issuing the call, and count TigerSmack in. We're just getting back online after being without electricity down here for a few days, but we'll be all over the hurricane blogging for the foreseable future.
