Crane introduced himself and asked if Teri and Joe would join him at the Ritz-Carlton for dinner. Teri accepted. During the meal, Joe got up to go to the bathroom, and Crane then reached into his pocket for his checkbook. He wrote out a check for a five-figure signing bonus, and slid it across the table to Teri. "The day your husband comes to work with us," he said, "you can cash that check." When Joe returned from the restroom, Teri turned to him and said, "Honey, you start Monday." "<br /><br />i'm from Nebraska so this reminds me that just when the Cornhuskers got good in baseball someone noticed. The coaches name was Dave Van Horne (sp?) and he turned us around from 'just a team' to a contender and that was pretty cool. Now when a northern team gets good in collegiate baseball, i think the southern teams start checking into it.<br /><br />Lo and behold, Dave Van Horne and his wife were from Arkansas. And to Arkansas they went. I'm trying to imagine how this went, and my guess is something like this.<br /><br />Arkansas Athletic Coordinator: "Mrs. Van Horn"?<br />MVH : "Yes."<br />AAC: "Come on home to Razorback country?"<br />MVH : "When do we pack?"<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3917869-111106751161644662?l=prairieview.blogspot.com'/></div>The Authornoreply@blogger.com0
