Listening to Ryan at the Birmingham Big Orange Club. He is doing an amazing job talking about our recruiting class. Thanks for coming down here.

No kidding. Great presentation very well done under difficult circumstances. I hope you'll make it 3 in a row next February. Thanks!

Notta thing. Let's just say he had to compete with a lot of background noise. He handled it better than Bray handles crappy bowl invitations.

I spoke to someone from the BBOC about getting a more exclusive venue that I know of we'll see if it works out. The back ground noise was pretty crappy. But Ryan did an excellent presentation.
Coon - I saw your post that you were there I wish I had known which one you were. I'm alway looking to meet people that don't talk about Bama down here. Hope to meet you next time.

Wes, I told Ryan that you needed to come down here next time. He said I just needed to ask you. So consider yourself asked.

Works for me.
I assumed Ryan flew solo because he didn't want to hear me cry about the Cubs' lineup for six hours in the car.

That's normally a safe assumption, but not in this case. I'd hate to deprive anyone of the chance to hear you speak.

I also have not seen the Big Orange Caravan schedule.
Last year I think we got it sometime around spring practice, FWIW.

I can't imagine that ...
I see how it is, though. I'm just a backup plan for Wes.

Ha! Thanks, gr82btnvol. I appreciate that, although I know you'd probably say otherwise if Wes had mailed your hat by now.
