Re: **CALLING CHRIS WILLIAMS**
Here's what I got back from Chris:
"If they want to come to press box I can but don't see how I'll be able to get to DSM

I'm sorry. I'm in press box working. Will be doing radio until at least 8. Doubt I get out of here before 9:30, perhaps 10."

Bump. Just saw a brief segment about this on KCCI morning news. Nice job on the phone interview, cychedelia.
It's on KCCI's website also. Very nice piece and Cychedelia did do a good job in the phone interview.

I'm a little bit late to the party but I just put in $50. Further I'm looking at it like this, and would invite any others that donated so far to do something similar.
I guarantee this was not the last game we'll be in this situation with a bad call. For every game that Iowa State loses in football or men's basketball when an apology is issued by the conference/officials, or a national media outlet discusses a late game or major officiating issue I will donate $25 to this campaign. The $50 I donated is $25 each for K-State and OSU.

Might not hear until tomorrow....probably need hospital staff to get it.
I got a couple more people to donate yesterday---told them that it was oddly satisfying to hit submit when making the donation in honor of the Big 12 refs and sending the thank you to old Bob.
Lady from Blank said she'd update me on the new total this morning. I'll let you guys know.
At that point, we can come up with a fresh way to promote this.
Thanks to all of the hard work everybody has done. Cool eal.

The best I can come up with would be if NFM (or another CF sponsor) would be willing to have something in conjunction with this for their promotion this week. For example instead a $250 savings on something it would be $150 off and a $100 donation would be made to Blank in the customer's name. Or if a customer made a donation at the store to Blank (say $100) NFM would take an additional dollar amount off the deal of the week.
It is looking like at the current rate we would be at about $15,000 by the end of the week so it would need to be about 100 people at $100 to get to twenty five.
