Well I hope it wasn't the agent's yellow convertible.

Afterall, his stepped-on-dad said he left in "a" yellow convertible not "his" yellow convertible.

I've been waiting on you to return to funny and witty. Sadly the last witty thing you posted was Dan meeting with the cigar boys. That was over a year and a half ago.

Lindsey, just trying to do things the Cecil way. The rented mule in this case just doesn't appreciate him.

My question is "why are agents hanging around Oxford in the middle of summer?" if not to do a little business

Not that it's likely this is what was happening, but it would be perfectly reasonable to make a pitch to a projected high draft pick within 12 months prior to the time he was drafted even if the player intended to comply with the rules and not come to any agreement.

If it still works the same way it did when I was in school, they were likely making a pitch and introducing the Tunsils to somebody local that they could call on in the next year if they needed anything. Or possibly the "agents" were the local people they had been introduced to earlier.

Your last sentence is the intriguing part to me. Believe it or not, I've never been courted by professional sports agents, but perhaps someone who is familiar with that scene can tell us how common it is for multiple agents to visit simultaneously with someone who isn't even in the position of accepting a deal yet. It sounds weird to me, but I have no idea if it's common or not.

Ahh! These were not professional sports agents, they are music industry agents, they heard Tonsils practicing with the church choir doing his magnificent rendition of 'Ave Maria', they swooped in and picked him up, took him to safe haven to protect his valuable vocal chords from possible damage. ( Heard this from very reliable sharkbear aquaintances )***
