Entry 3: December 26, 2007
So it's Wednesday in Charlotte.
It was a little colder today, meaning it was in the
mid 40's. To keep things in perspective though, it
was about 32 degrees in Storrs. The cold weather
certainly didn't not put a damper on practice.
People were flying around all day, but the highlight
of the day had to be learning about the secret
competition with Coach Edsall tomorrow as we get to
ride in the cars at LOWE'S MOTOR SPEEDWAY
(think...Ricky Bobby).
That's right, our favorite Head Coach will be
engaging the enemy in a test of wills. The most
profound of competitions, the true measure of a
man. That's right, you guessed it, they will be
seeing who can change a tire faster at Lowe's Motor
Speedway. I really should have seen this coming. I
really need to brush up on my Magnum P.I. It's just
that every time I watch it get so distracted by the
majesty and wonder of Tom Selick's Mustache.
Anyway, I digress. I should have known that Coach
Edsall was planning on this tire changing-pit crew-
extravaganza. The Talladega Nights and Days of
Thunder DVDs in his coaching bag would have been my
first hint. And then I saw the list of movies to his
hotel room: Cannonball Run (another killer 'stache
by Reynolds) and of course, "Carolina Thunder".
Speaking of amazing mustaches and sporting events,
did I mention that tonight we went to the Charlotte
Bobcats Game? That's right, Adam Morrison, with
that baby caterpillar on is upper lip was there in
all his glory. He has been sidelined this year with
an ACL injury, but it was great to see former UConn
great Emeka Okafor play. He is truly a superstar
here in Charlotte, and I find it my duty to let
everyone back in Connecticut know that he is still
doing big things.
Short blog today, have to be up at 5:15am tomorrow,
but some things I am really excited about at the
moment, in list form:
1) Playing Wake Forest in the bowl game
2) The Return of American Gladiators to prime time
television
3) My Roommate Scott Lutrus has unexpectedly run out
of exfoliater and apricot rub.
4) Knowing that Chip Malofante reads my blog as
religiously as I read his (http://runwayramblings.blogspot.com/)
5) My friends Caitlin Weisel, Christina Andrews,
Sydney Guttmann have been reading the blog.
Talk to you tomorrow....after we get our NASCAR on.
Best,
Rob
