Rockets are practicing at Huntington College.

This morning the team got a tour of the Hyundai car plant.
They could have taken tours of the American Jeep facilities and the GM transmission plants at home instead of looking at Korean cars.

I'll bet the team anticipated that tour with barely contained enthusiasm ever since they heard they were going to Montgomery.

I'm sure they make really good cars but that's a puzzle. More to it? I suppose there's a share of management and engineering types on the team that found that interesting but.... huh?

You want to be good guests and all but I doubt that tour really gave those never been to that part of the South a feel for the local culture.

Hyundai is one of the bowls sponsors. Probably some sort of tie-in to their sponsorship agreement.

No doubt. Sponsors don't sponsor these things in the hopes that they'll get no exposure.

Team is going to be busy beavers helping expose all these sponsors.

I'd have chosen Krispy Kreme and the National Guard over the autoplant. That AALOS website has some interesting tech, sports related. Probably just an office though.

I'm guessing the universities don't set the agendas, otherwise Krispy Kreme would be very busy.

You seen all the "health food" knocking out the good stuff on campuses? I think this might more be a case of scheduling mismanagement. Someone ought to be fired, sending those poor kids off to see some autoplant when there's deep fried sugar to be had.
