I believe they said there were 144 of us there yesterday. Had a great time. The 7 or 8 of us, WCN gals, sat together. The coaches and players [that were there] are very excited about the upcoming season. Nice, polite and very people friendly young men. Pictures will be posted soon by someone in our WCN Ladies' group.

I saw Tana and Gilia on the WKYT news.

I guess they'll think they're stars now. :cool:

We already thought that. ;):icon_mrgreen:

Wallace saw us also. Unfortunately, I was sound asleep. It was a great day. :thumbup:

Oh, my gosh. I was surely NOT aware of that, RV. Too, while Gillia and I are "twins," I'm going to have to respond differently on this one. Again, oh, my gosh. Second-thought, though, I will have to tell Mr. Poodoo that I am now a "star." :icon_lol:

Back to the clinic itself, though, it was absolutely GREAT. I had needed a great day, and that it was. Both the coaches and the players were just FANTASTIC (including our own DeMoreo :)). We ladies were most fortunate to get to have such an experience. Pulling with all my heart for these polite, impressive young men AND the kind, personable coaches comes so naturally. Yes, I've always pulled for UK, but, yes, I pull even harder because of the type of PEOPLE they are. :) GO CATS!!!

They caught you asleep during the clinic and put it on TV??:eek:

I hate to admit it, WildcatRick. THAT was quick. :)

I do wonder what we were ACTUALLY doing when the camera captured us, though (and SURELY not acting giddy or talking or laughing or anything like that! :icon_lol:) What did Wallace say about our "air time," bleedbluelady? :icon_lol: Actually, I just MIGHT have volunteered to go out there and participate in a drill IF ONLY a television camera had not been around! GO CATS! GO RICH!
