We in the stands at Humboldt State University Lumberjack football games yelled, “Dig in Green Chain, dig in” whenever the ‘Jacks were on defense. At least that’s what we did during the ’70s, when I majored in Forest Management at HSU.
Besides being the rallying cry for defense, the green chain referred to the lumber industry term I posted on here. I had a number of friends who pulled green chain during that time, sorting green lumber just out from trimming and edging is a grueling workout. The Green Chain also refers to a movie out of Canada by Mark Leiren-Young. He tells me the movie should be available on DVD here in the US in just over a month.
I love the movie’s tag line, “nothing is ever clear cut.” Wish I’d used it as the tag line for this blog.
