Fun with Interview Requests

As you know one of my jobs on The Chris Vernon Show is to try and set up interviews with various guests. I am responsible for getting the mullet man Dog The Bounty Hunter, Criss Angel, Joe Rogan, Chris Daughtry, etc. Well, I haven't been getting much sleep in the last week so I thought I would crash early last night. I fell asleep around 8:45 and woke up only between 11 and 12 due to the cell phone ringing (normally that would upset me, but there's something about 50 Cent's "Straight To The Bank" that wakes me up). Anyways, I didn't get to see any scores from last nights games. Well, I did see that Rudy stayed out of foul trouble last night and the Grizz finally won a game. I get to the office this morning around 10am and sit down to send in an interview request to the University of Kentucky. Kentucky is in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic w/ Memphis, UCONN and Oklahoma. I figured there's a good chance Memphis could meet Kentucky in NYC. After all, Kentucky only played Gardner-Webb last night and UCONN isn't exactly incredible this year. Memphis should beat Oklahoma and Kentucky should beat UCONN and everything would set up great for us to have Coach Gillispie on. As Lee Corso would say: "NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND!!!" I receive an email back from their basketball SID that goes something like: "As you should know by now, Kentucky lost last night and will not be going to NYC. Now is probably not the best time to do an interview w/ Coach Gillispie." How the hell do you lose to Gardner-Webb? Check out the aftermath of that game here: http://kentucky.rivals.com/forum.asp
