    Couldn't they have found a better picture... perhaps one that isn't so pixelated?

    But regardless of the oversized headshot, congratulations, brad.

    Pixelated..?

    That's what he looks like, if you get close enough

    Ditto, to the gratz, and to seeing you at Temple's open I suppose.

    So, who takes over at UMass now?

    The picture is one snagged off of the UMass website where it's significantly smaller. I found out at 5:30 yesterday that headshots were being taken 3-5pm. Hrm. Next time that's happening I should know in advance, at which point future pictures of me shouldn't have the pixelation problem.

    Thanks all.

    Are you thinking ahead to when you're named National Varsity Coach of the Year?
    Hmmm? Could be closer than you expect. Go to the Portrait Place at the mall and get some headshots made up for your file drawer. Just in case greatness is just around the corner!

    I guess I've only seen him from a distance... whenever I get close, I bow my head before his pixelated greatness.

    That's SUREKILL expressway! I've been there. Also, why do they call it "Rush Hour"? Nothing moves.

    Of course, now everyone wants to know when you'll be offering scholarships!

    Actually Temple IS one of the few schools that offers fencing scholarships. Don't ask me for details, I'm new here. Any such inquiries should go to Nikki Franke, our head coach.

    Heh. Not likely any time soon. Just to highlight a portion of the announcement, "BRADLEY BAKER NAMED ASSISTANT FENCING COACH". No, I was thinking about pictures for things like the coaches page portion of the website (which still has Zoila Palacio, who I replaced, listed). I don't expect to be featured in any other press releases in the near future.

    Now I just need to finish bringing down the rest of my stuff from MA and get unpacked.
