For those of you new, a quick recap. My wife is a member of The Carolina Cardinals professional womens football team. She plays offensive center as well as on the defensive line.

The team is very dedicated and hard working, the coach a true professioal loved and respected by the team and everyone connected to the team. Everyone involved is very good at what they do, but the team lacks one very critical element. It has no publicist. Most of the news about the team I have seen so far is from the blogging community, and that mainly from my own blog. The fund raising efforts have not been going well, such that even the party at the Radisson was cancelled 11:30pm the night before it was supposed to happen due to lack of interest. I imagine that if the team had a publicist, even a talented volunteer would do, these fund raisers would be heard of out side of one proud spouse's blog. Am I volunteering? Heck no, I've got enough to do already with my fencing life.

So what I am I whining about exactly? Don't think of it as whining, think of it as the admission that the team needs help and the plaintive call for some talented individual(s) to swoop in and save the season. The first game by the way is scheduled for May 20th and the team doesn't even have helmets, pads, or uniforms yet.

To this end Sara is trying to get the team to meet this week to talk about the possibility of who would be willing to/able to buy their own equipment in hopes that it might just be enough to let them play at least a couple of games this season. Will it be enough? You'll know soon after I find out.
