Sumlin presser ends with a *thud*
I went over to the UH pep rally/press conference for new coach Kevin Sumlin today.
It went according to form to start -- Dave Maggard made a statement, followed by Coach Sumlin.
They then opened the floor to press questions.
Some old codger in a purple jacket made a big deal of asking the table (where Maggard and Sumlin were seated) how many hands it takes to catch a football. He then asked Bill Yeoman, who was seated in the front row in the crowd. After someone answered "two" (couldn't hear who, to be honest), the old codger made some point about no, 22 (11 teammates X 2 hands).
Coach Sumlin, who seemed a bit confused by it all, said something along the lines of "thanks," and then UH announced that the open press questions were done, and the press could come interview the principals.
And so ended the public part of the press conference. I guess we'll get answers to such questions as to coaching philosophy, recruiting, personnel, etc., from individual reporters.
Quite a thud to end the presser, actually. More details on CoogFans.
Welcome to Cougar Land, Coach Sumlin! I'm not sure anything in Norman quite prepared you for the weirdness, but the best advice is just to embrace it.
