FreeLucca.com - Stats after 1 day

[ISUCLONES15]

I have a family friend that runs their own screen printing & embroidery company. If there is serious interest out there for the Free Lucca t-shirts, I can provide the contact info to someone if they want to head this project.

If you put something up on facebook, I bet you'd get a few responses.

I'm tremendously impressed with all that you guys have done.

I think an important part of this issue is the ex post facto part of the story, that the rule came into effect after Lucca had already left the team, if I am remembering correctly. That alone increased my outrage a thousand times over. If that is the case, I think it would add a lot of weight to the argument, and should be highlighted.

I completely agree. This is an important part of the story that should be highlighted in the text. Punishment for an infraction that occured before the rule even existed is just crazy.

when are you going to post day 2 stats? any more hits from indianapolis? how about bristol?

 

[acody]

I've seen Lucca play. Very talented young man that would play a lot this year. Unfortunately, fighting the NCAA is like taking on the Federal government. I'm not optimistic.

Meanwhile, the appeal won't even be filed until next week. Kind of a slow response by ISU.

Yeah, there are a lot of contacts that people have suggested, but they're scattered through like 3 or 4 different threads. I'm trying to backtrack through to make sure I get them all. If you guys have any more suggestions, please post them or PM me.

At first, as in, he doesn't anymore? Do you have a link?

Through the second day, we have 1282 unique visitors (up from 599) and 10,919 hits. We also got tagged on some search engines. Most visitors continue to come from the CF links, but it looks like several people have bookmarked us or are entering the address in their browser.

I just hope we don't lose any momentum.

All Murph's blog says is in response to a poster that simply stated "Freelucca.com", Murphy says "There really is a Freelucca.com? I thought you were joking."

I think Michael Richards says it best in UHF about this situation:

Life is like a mop. Sometimes life gets full of dirt and crud and hairballs and things and you gotta clean it out. You gotta stick it in here and rinse it off and start all over again. And sometimes life sticks to the floor so much that a mop, a mop, it's not good enough. You gotta get down there with like a toothbrush, you know, and you gotta really scrub 'cause you gotta get it off. But if that doesn't work, you can't give up. You gotta stand right up. You gotta run to a window and say, "These floors are dirty as hell, and I'm not gonna take it any more."

Let's clean up the NCAA!

The NCAA ruling that takes away a year of eligibility from Lucca Staiger is stupid, unfair, and hypocritical. Punish Staiger because others did something wrong? Idiotic.

I'm pretty sure I saw it on your site, freelucca.com already. At least, that's the only place I would have seen it, and I saw it before he posted it.

I went to teh game tonight and took my video camera. I took some video of lucca before the game, and he looked kinda sad/pissed which he had a reason for. I also got some video of the starting line up, it was alright for this game but I can't wait to video tape our starting lineup against iowa or kansas. Let me know if you want the video, I might youtube one of htem. Let me know what you guys want.

If you've got that video in an appropriate web format (like YouTube), that would be tremendous.
