Picture clarification

So, in case you were thinking that picture was a phenomenal photshop job, sorry to disappoint, but that’s me sitting at the table in the media room. How many greats have sat at that same table?  I was just playing around though. My real press conference was at the high school. Okay, so I didn’t really have a press conference. That IS me sitting at that table though.

On an unrelated note, Dan Patrick was talking about sports mulligans today (things that happened in sports that the principals would want to have a “do-over” for), and my submission made the cut to be read on-air, and posted on his website. The post is here right under the Ty Willingham pic. (WARNING: It’s a Sports Illustrated site, and one of the current banner ads that may pop up is to order your swimsuit calendar.) You have to fast forward to find it, but the audio is here here in hour 2, almost 3/4 of the way through, after the Charles Barkley segment. If you need a history lesson, let me know.

It’s official!

The contract has been signed, and I’m officially back in the saddle as an assistant coach with one of the local basketball teams.

OK, not that one. (That would be pretty sweet though, eh?)

In real life, I’m Varsity Assistant with CH High. Our mission is to “Renew the Tradition” as we aim to take a program that has won a total of 13 games over the last three seasons back to prominence (2 state championships in the 80’s). First day of practice is Monday. Go Tigers!

If you like books…

OK, so if you’re like us (cheapskate book fiends AND/OR poor college types) you might find this useful. I found it while I was “shopping” for textbooks last summer, but it works for pretty much ANY book you may be looking for. I tried it with random books on our shelves, from novels to kids’ books to church manuals to music books. They’re all there. Just read the following testimonial: “This site saved me significant time and money when searching for alternatives to the rip-off bookstores. I’d definitely recommend it to my family members, whether they are in school or just looking for sweet deals on books!”–Justin

So if books are on your Christmas shopping list, or if you’re just greedy and want to keep all the deals for yourself, check it out. http://www.directtextbook.com/ (Chris, Josh, and Matt, I know you all wanted to get your books for next semester so you could start reading them over the break, so I just wanted to hook you up.) ENJOY!
