Hooray!  I think there are others who might like the football films, but
maybe it's just me!  Looking forward to it, and I will rein in what I show
as well and limit it to maybe 30 to 45 minutes tops...

All,

I do have some football films and some basketball films we've 
transferred and have copies on DVD that we can show.  I'm not sure that 
they are all that interesting, but maybe in short clips, they'll be 
tolerable.

I'm also working my way through suggestions my staff have made.  Count 
us in as a sponsor and as having something to show.  I'll come up with 
something, maybe 10 mins total?  More or less?

Lisa
