So, has anyone else figured out that the color red has special significance
in organized sports?????   Fact:

	- World Series Champs, St. Louis Cardinals...REDbirds

	- Super Bowl Champs, Washington REDskins

	- NCAA hoop champs, NC State...team color ( also the color
				of all the teams in the
				final four.......RED

	- NBA Champs, Philadelphia Sixers....RED white and blue


The only team that doesn't conform is Penn State in football and
that is just a voted position, not earned.

Any one have an idea what next years color will be???
