Drafting a contract.  The contract was supposed to say "[t]he individual signing this agreement..."  Instead (and I almost missed it in editing), I apparently put, "[t]he individual signing period this agreement..."

HD has taken over my life...

I recruited from my laptop sitting by my mother's bedside in the ICU. It's insidious.

I work in higher ed and a couple of years back I received a letter from Maine - Presque Isle and my first, second, and third thoughts were to wonder why my conference mate was contacting me by postal mail.

I'm a sports editor and more than once have received the real-life updated basketball polls and looked at the Division II and Division III rankings wondering why my team wasn't receiving votes.

That's awesome.

Back in the day I was the long time coach of Redlands in Naismith. Shortly after I left I sat next to a cute girl on a plane wearing a Redlands sweatshirt. I spent the entire flight debating whether or not to let her in on our shared Redlands connection, before wisely deciding not to.

I'm a high school senior, and I've gotten mail and emails from plenty of D3 schools, making me automatically think of HD
Once got an email from Babson, my first coaching job

I once told a friend that I couldn't go golfing with him because I was coaching in a rec basketball league. He then decided to go to the gym to watch, and the only person there was a custodian.

Actually may have been wise to say something, she probably thought you were scoping her player potential the whole plane trip instead of her sweatshirt <.<

Geez..you had to remind me. LOL

I was on a plane to Portland. The attractive woman next to me mentioned that she was from Salem. I blurted out, "I coach basketball at Willamette there!" 

Trying to save the situation, I explained:

1) It's not a real game and I'm not a real coach.

2) The players aren't real either.

3) It's a computer game.

4) No, the college doesn't know about it.

5) I don't think they care.

6) No, I've never been there.

7) I'm pronouncing it wrong?? It's "Will-AM-ette", not  William-ETTE,  like the man's name?

As she pressed her body closer and closer to the window, I shut up. If there'd been any empty seats on the plane, I would've moved.
