I failed to proofread the introduction letter I sent to my number 1 college's coach, and now the coach will wonder why I referred to his program as the Bears (that's what I get for watching the Bears Blitz on my local sports channel). I wonder if this sort of thing could make it easy for him to say wow this kid doesn't even know what we are called or is writing the same letter to other programs and forgot to change his letter completely. Just a word to the wise.

Great valid excuse to call and aplogize...

And at least you will not be forgotten (top of the mind)...

"Oh yea, I remember you...you're the guy who put the wrong name in your letter...."

Great idea 44,
Pontiac...just make sure you don't wear a Bears ballcap when you go to their winter camp.
