Are You Sure This Is The ESPN Zone?

[hobie16]

A few years ago the company I worked for held its annual sales meeting in Vegas at the MGM Grand. Among the guest speakers was Tyrone Willingham, the, new football coach of Notre Dame. He gave a great presentation and was given a standing o'.

The evening's event was held across the street at the ESPN Zone. I arrived a little early, got my wristband ID, and wandered around for a bit. I had gone outside and when I went back to the entrance, I found the coach trying to get in. The Zone employee (are they called CMs?) told him he wasn't on the guest list and wouldn't let him in.

I stepped up and asked the Zonie if this was the ESPN Zone? He said yes. I replied that if it was then he sure as hell should know who Tyrone Willingham was. He didn't. I told the Zonie that he had been the head coach at Stanford and was currently head coach at Notre Dame, was a guest of our company president, and if entry wasn't forth coming our prez would shut down the event and the Zonie could explain what happened to his boss.

The coach got his wristband and told me if I was ever in South Bend he'd get me a ticket.

Hey, Hobie, if you don't ever want that ticket, just pass it on to me.

Edit: Hey, Zazu! What are the chances of us getting a Notre Dame Leprechaun smilie?

I would but, after a good first year, the team didn't fare so well and the coach was replaced.
