Subject: [VFB] COLLEGE COLOR
SWAP/Football Team
Hi Gang!
I'm thinking of hosting a new type of Swap in December of this year.
I'm sending this post just to test the water. The name would be the
"College Spirit Swap" , centered around your college and its football
team. I would ask you to tie your flies using your college's
colors. Makes no difference if you didn't go to college, I'm sure you
have a favorite college football team.( For you guys across the ponds, you can
join the swap too. I know lots of you Limeys, Aussies and Canuks,
etc. follow American College football. All kinds of
possibilities here. If your college was the eventual National NCAA Div.
I Football Champion, you would win the "College Spirit Award". Course
there could be several ties.
I wouldn't want this to be a "mega swap", maybe 50 max tyers. Imagine
the color combinations on the flies. In my case - Mississippi State U's
colors are maroon and white - now who ever saw a maroon and white fly? ;~))
If you're interested and want to be included in this unusual swap, let
me know. Like I said, this is just a "test the water" post and if enough
of you want to do it, we'll roll. No need to start tying flies till
Nov-Dec. I'll count those who want to be in the swap from this point on
as I receive your replies.
I'm sure other ideas to make this a fun and memorable swap will surface
either from you or me.
Cheers,
