First Brady Hoke.....now Greg Mattison comes to the tailgate
You can't make this stuff up. Last week Brady Hoke came by our new tailgate location in the Blue Lot at the end of the game and said hello. This week no Brady but in his place Greg Mattison stopped over and spent a couple of minutes taking to our group before walking on.
Like Brady, he was all smiles, charming, funny (joked with my avatar wife about her being born a Buckeye) and waited patiently for what seemed like an eternity while I fumbled with my IPhone (I kept hitting "Photos" instead of the "Camera" icon) so we could get the picture. And to top it off, while I was talking to Mattison, Dave Brandon walked by!
I think we may have the coolest parking spot in the world.

He must workout.

So you didn't ask about Bolden vs. Demens, Morgan's head, randomness of turnovers, ND gameplan, Hoke's recent moodiness, whether or not chicken is an acceptable pizza topping?
September 16th, 2012 at 12:00 PM ^
I think it is a given that chicken is the BEST pizza topping

"You don't put chicken on pizza."

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo, not that!
I'll have to order chicken instead of pepperoni from now on.

Is not pizza...

Um....no. I said "Great game Coach. Thanks for coming back and taking over the Defense...we needed you." He said "Thank you very much" and then I asked if he minded if we got a picture for my wife's website. He said not at all and then I spent the better part of an hour (or so it seemed) trying to get the damn camera function on my new IPhone to come up while i hit the "photos" icon over and over again.

How about a link to your wife’s website?
September 16th, 2012 at 2:45 PM ^
Assuming you're not being sarcastic take a look at my signature line - it's there.
September 16th, 2012 at 7:57 PM ^
...your website that is. Best of luck to you and you wife with your diseases - what a positive website. It didn't hurt that you added a shot of GMatt to make it even better!
September 16th, 2012 at 8:21 PM ^
That's really nice of you to say that. It's 100% my wife's site and she works real hard at it every day with zero compensation other than the knowledge that there are people out there that appreciate it. Nothing makes her day more than when somebody drops her a note of encouragement so I'll pass along yours to her.
And your right - Mattison DOES make it better!

I'm inspired to work out tonight!
September 16th, 2012 at 5:39 PM ^
110% pure awesomeness.

It's against the hill about 2/3 of the way to the end of the lot. My guess is that it's far enough away from the autograph seekers and media thatt they relax a bit but close enough to their cars to feel like they can take a minute or two with people close to their age like me.
Either way I sure like it.
September 16th, 2012 at 11:56 PM ^
I would be really impressed if Brian stopped by!
September 17th, 2012 at 11:02 PM ^
That really IS the best parking spot in the world. Good stuff, Mgrow. Thanks for posting.
