Probably should have added some kind of transition there ... "It was always the family first" and on down was in regards to Pat. Which, updating a previous, I saw the other day, and also learned his replacement has finally been hired. Although we steadfastly maintain (at least if we like having a paid column here) that Pat could never be replaced, even if a new guy sits at his old desk. RG,

Probably should have added some kind of transition there … “It was always the family first” and on down was in regards to Pat. Which, updating a previous, I saw the other day, and also learned his replacement has finally been hired.

I was hoping to run into you on the NJAC trail again in 2007, but maybe you can make it up to Glassboro for Rowan-Cortland 2008. Congratulations on ending up where you wanted to be. And by the way, this D3sports thing you've got going is a pretty good gig too.

Is it July yet? Pat, That was supposed to be "heels". I hope you didn't end up in Kansas. D3Keith,

My comment was meant to be TIC. Is it July yet?

Pat, That was supposed to be “heels”. I hope you didn’t end up in Kansas.

I doubt USAT would want to pay me a competitive salary. Hope they're not keeping a seat warm for me. I just assumed they were doing the Gannett thing and not filling it intentionally.

Mention no such thing until July please, thanks. It was always the family first. I really wish people at USAT would stop asking me if you're coming back though. Just because your position (or Eric's) is still open ... :) The Preview. Mention no such thing until July please, thanks.

It was always the family first.

Just stand there and click your heals together three times saying "There's no place like home. There's no place like home, There's no place like home." and you'll be there.

Something tells me your kids are probably very happy to have you back as well. When we first moved to MD we found my then-5-year-old out on the front lawn trying to hail a cab back to Seattle.

Now if BC can return to hosting playoff games this year all will be back to normal in the world of D3Football.
