Our team was fortunate to have a good season this year and we've received some recent attention from the press. Please help us encourage the press coverage of FRC by hitting these links. Please add links you find, and check back periodically to add hits to the new ones.

Gee, I'd really LIKE to add a link from KTTC and our local newspaper, but they felt coverage of a softball game was more inline with the public interest of watching batters strike out.

This is why I created this thread. If they see a blip in their graph every time they mention FIRST, what do you think they will do?

I don't know, hitting the press seems really rude...
I jest, I'll give it a couple of hits every days!
