not insightful, nor interesting, particularly, but this IM conversation pretty much captures where I'm at right now... It'll serve as a quickie blog entry without me having to think too much about it.

thebnan: mah
ryan c nelson: hey
thebnan: my momma emailed me to tell me to tell you that hayden fry is being inducted into the hall of fame this dec.
thebnan: momma with the inside nat'l football hall of fame info.
ryan c nelson: so, your mom is football of all kinds, not just pro?
thebnan: yeah.
ryan c nelson: is that some crazy secret?
ryan c nelson: i'm gonna leak it.
thebnan: i dont think so. she just thought it was interesting because of the iowa connection.
thebnan: that you'd be interested
thebnan: you know mom, she's all 'iowa! i know an iowan!'
ryan c nelson: hayden fry bears a disturbing resemblance to my dad, and even moreso my uncle
ryan c nelson: and none whatsoever to hayden fox
thebnan: ah, ok so he is the guy that coach is based on
thebnan: i thought so
ryan c nelson: yeah, but only lightly
ryan c nelson: the real hayden was far less madcap
ryan c nelson: the outdoor campus shots on that show were from my dorm, though
thebnan: my mom said '-from what I have read he broughtfootball back to the state of Iowa-so I a guessing he has heard of him (college)'
