Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Geno Auriemma 9/3/13

About 2 weeks or so ago, I got a text from my cousin that Uconn Head Coach, and Hall of Famer Geno Auriemma would be signing autographs 20 minutes away from my house to promote a new package store in the area. He has a line of wines, so this is actually a common occurrence throughout the area, but this was the first one I could make it to.

The only issue surrounding this was that I'm only 20, so obviously I wouldn't have been able to go into the store, and I had the brilliant idea of shaving my beard this weekend, so I was not exactly looking 21+. I brought my dad with me, but age would not matter even a little since there was a tent set up outside the store in the parking lot. Thankfully in 6 months, I will be able to 'graph the casino floor at Mohegan, and other events like this without even wondering.

Anyways, Geno came out exact at the scheduled time which was nice, and he seemed pretty happy to be there. My regular readers will remember that I met him on > 6/20/12 and > 6/19/13.

We each got one item signed, and I was thrilled to finally get the 39-0 Sports Illustrated signed:

The "Perfect Season" Sports Illustrated is such a busy cover, so I just went with the gold Sharpie that the store had for him. I'm going to add some of the girls on it as I see them.
