Moved In

I've now "moved in" to my office. Photos of the lovely fam- check! A&M stuff- check. Foundation stuff- check. But not my trophy, because that's on the mantel.

Lauren recorded A&M Signing Day on FOX Sports SW, so we could watch it when I got home on Wednesday. I've never watched any live (or semi-live, as it were) coverage of signing day before, but there was a lot of cool stuff about spring football and of course talk about next fall. Coach Sumlin and all the coaches were on, talking about their subgroups of players. It was really interesting. And truth be told, I have a sports crush on Will Johnson, so it was great to see him get so much air time. Whoop!

A&M did really well in recruiting, of course, so it was superfun to watch all the clips of the new signees. I didn't see a kicker in there, but the kicker coach (I'm certain that is not his proper title) said he is working with Bertolet to "increase his accuracy." (Every time his name comes up, I can hear my seatmate shouting, "Ber-to-let! Ber-to-let! Ber-to-let!")

Okay then. Let's do this thing, Bertolet! You can do it!!

As a bonus during the show, I learned that the soccer coach's name is G Guerrieri. I thought at first that his name was just Jeeguerreri, like Madonna. But no. G has got to be the coolest name ever, in all of history. Not G-period. Just G. (It stands for Gerald, shhhh...)
