I wrote most of this while waiting for class to start the other day and just got around to posting it.

Last Wednesday we had our second picture day - this time for the poster. We were told our shoes would be waiting for us when we got to the gym. I’m not gonna lie, all day I was planning on sending a twitpic of my new hyperizes linking to the sick music video that Nike made hyping up the shoes.

There was a change of plans when I opened my box to find the first shoe I got in college 2 years ago only these were red instead of purple.  Everybody else got their hyperizes, hypermaxes, and LeBrons and I was the proud new owner of some throwbacks. They aren’t even bad shoes but when I started putting them on I realized one of the shoes didn’t even have an in-sole in it.

I figured I was just getting the walk on treatment. Bucklin and Whatley thought it was the funniest thing ever. After all, last year they were forced to cope with signing posters that they weren’t pictured on and kids they were signing for didn’t believe they were actually on the team.  Turns out my shoes were just in the mail and now that they are here I’m hyperizing at last.

Spoiler alert: For the poster we took individual pictures in front of a blank background and they are going to photoshop us together.  They must have done the same thing last year cause Trey was looking like a giant on that thing.  I’m excited to see how it turns out and crossing my fingers hoping they don’t forget to put me on it like they have forgotten to put me on the roster on the website  (UPDATE: Nevermind, I just realized that I actually am on the roster).

I know I haven’t been updating my blog that often and I think part of the reason is because I’ve been posting on twitter. To Coach Fox’s amazement I’ve even been getting awards for doing so (Tweet of the day 1, Tweet of the day 2).  You can follow me at www.twitter.com/connornolte where I’ll be posting little updates pretty much daily.
