Welcome to The Pit
Presented by BASF

By |  June 8, 2014

I’m pleased to introduce you to my four roommates for the week, here at The Pit…

(L to R) Matthew Jones is the senior assistant superintendent at The Landings Club in Savannah, Ga. He interned here back in 2010 and then again in 2011. He says his favorite Seinfeld character is Kramer, but I’m guessing he loves Puddy, too…

Next is Desmond Decker, Double D, a junior from Iowa State. He says the Cyclones will make it to the elite eight next year. I only assume he didn’t mean of the NIT.

Next is Carlos Sanes, a Penn Stater from Stroudsburg, Pa. He says the best thing about Stroudsburg is the snowboarding. My first impression is that he might be the boss here at The Pit. Note to self: stay on Carlos’ good side.

Lastly we have Ryan May. I like Ryan because he helped me with my bag when I got here. Another Iowa Stater, he says that Tom Cruise would play him if his life were an action movie.

And since we are on the Edge of Tomorrow, I’ll sign off. We get to the maintenance shop tomorrow at 4:30 a.m., and it’s my fault these guys were up past their bedtime…
