Hello there, Mr. Schab

Kudos to loyal alums Mike Schab (2005) and Colleen Ryan (2009) for their extraordinary effort to come and see the team on Saturday!

A bleary-eyed Schabby was coming off an insanely long work shift as a stage hand on some Top Secret Celebrity Project that I’m not supposed to talk about. And he’s got another extended gig coming up later tonight! Sleep was never a big priority for the Schabster, anyway.

Here’s an interesting Schab fact. In his last days of college, he was one of the last hold-out dinosaurs who refused to get a cell phone. Our boy has made a complete about-face now, and has some fancy Blackberry with all the bells and whistles, and Internet – of course. Schab told me today that his “home page” on his mobile device is this very blog. So naturally, that deserves a mention here.

As does Our Favorite Babysitter Colleen, who basically drove through the night from Kentucky to come to Vanny and see us. Honestly, this might have been the best surprise of the day! The stunned reaction and hugs that Col received from her former teammates was great.
