Green and gold tie. Good start.

He said Coach Townsend was asking him about playing football.

Gotta love her.

The Ray Watts bingo card should work well for this press conference, too.

Yep, he was obviously coached up by the PR team over the weekend. My initial impression is that he'll do what he's told. Hope I'm wrong.

OMG Sounds like he has already been turned into a Watts clone/drone, or am I not getting the right impressions from the tweets and comments?

Everybody does what they are told when they first start a job. Let's see what he does after gets some confidence and makes the job his own.

That works pretty much anytime he opens his mouth.

Well, at least he didn't look like he was being held hostage. That's a decent start, I suppose.

UAB PR's four keys to success:

1. Drink from a water bottle. It makes you human.
2. Read the robotic words we typed for you. (It's okay, you drank from the water bottle already.)
3. Avoid hard questions with "committed to success" or a derivative of the phrase.
4. Talk about "great" "things."

I noticed Watts had a different brand of water bottle.
