I am being honored as the school's 2008 journalist of the year
and part of the deal is lunch and a speech from me about where we stand
in my profession. I won't give you my entire speech, but what I do now
is a lot different than what I did 27 years ago when I got into this
business.
Sunday I went to Davidson College's post game press conference out of respect.
the growth of a "playoff beard". Members from
Letsgowings.com , a fan site where Red Wings fans can discuss
current games as well as other NHL news, started to discuss the playoff
beard and how they would be, as fans, growing beards as well.
Katie
Evans and Rabia Asghar, two ladies of the site, wanted to come up with
an
alternative and fun way that the female fans can support the Detroit
Red Wings rally towards the Stanley Cup. With help and some ideas from
others an idea was finally created and the "Ladies equivalent to the
playoff beard" was created. The rules are simple and its an easy way
for the female Red Wings too participate in the annual playoff beard.
This also helps fans who cant grow beards because of a job or they
simply just cant grow one.
