From the June 13, 2013, Chicago Tribune "Main Event: Let it grow."
We all know that NHL players in the playoffs put away the old razor during this time and let their beards and 'staches grow. But, in addition, fans have things they can do to help pull their favorite teams along. The Tribune wrote about one Frank Miller of Park Ridge, Illinois (a Chicago suburb), who is refusing to mow his grass until the Blackhawks' postseason run is over. He calls it his "Playoff Lawn" and even has a sign on it saying "PLAYOFF LAWN won't cut it until Hawks win cup!"
You can only wonder what his neighbors (especially non-hockey fans) think,
Well, the Tribune came up with some other possibilities of things our fans can do to "insure" a Hawk Cup. They even went so far as to measure it on the their "Playoffability Meter." One is Really Bad Idea. Ten is really GOOD idea.
PLAYOFF PLAQUE: "I won't brush my teeth until the Hawks hoist the Cup." Well, Dr. Bennett certainly wouldn't agree with that. And, don't forget to floss. METER: #3
PLAYOFF DISHES: "It's like a beautiful mountain of glass, ceramics and steel." Back at the old college trailer at Georgia I'd have that huge pile of unwashed dishes and wasn't even pulling for the Hawks, just didn't like washing 'em. METER: #7

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
