088 Get some internal tickets
Adam didn't come back until the next night, "My body was still too weak to do one-three." Failure, this is a complete failure. ”
He shuffled into the room and lay down on his bed.
Bill reminded him, "You missed training today, and a coach in the defensive team asked me to give you a warning, and if you continue like this, you will reduce your nutrition fee first, and then cancel your place directly after not changing it many times......"
"I understand......," Adam's voice became very strange as his mouth was under his head, "it's only an occasional indulgence, and I know I'm not on the list yet, and I won't be like that again." ”
One of the most interesting things about the NFL's professional teams is that the roster is a fixed 53 people, but in spring training, there will be 70 or 80 people on the training roster. That is, at the beginning of the season, some of the preparation or training players cannot be on the list, not even the bench players.
This Tibetan habit has also been learned by college teams, and in the 80s, the NCAAF did not have strict rules that said that freshmen were not allowed to play, but there were still restrictions on the number of players on the team. As soon as the Chinese New Year comes, some of the main players of the varsity team will be invited to participate in the NFL draft camp, so the freshmen who are not on the list will be substituted.
"You'd better say this sincerely, do you have a class tomorrow afternoon? I want to buy a car, I can't wait for the weekend. ”
Unlike Adam, Arthur Bryan was in a serious relationship and didn't get in the car at noon today.
"Okay, what about Martin? The quarterback has to have a car that pulls the wind. Adam spat out a slurred sentence.
His state was a bit magical, his body was unusually tired, but his mind was quite clear.
According to the team's rules, the quarterback is the captain or the captain's alternate, and although Martin is only the third quarterback, he is only a year or two away from the team, and he really needs a good car.
"He should go too. I haven't asked yet, I'll get back to you later. ”
Martin had classes on Thursday afternoons, but when he heard that Bill and Adam were going to buy a car, he said he was skipping class to go with his brothers.
Although this Martin has a bit of a soft temper and a bit of an indecisive personality, he is quite good for his friends.
On Thursday morning, a few people were supposed to go to class, they should lie in the dormitory, and in the afternoon, Arthur, who had a car, sent three of his teammates to the nearby San Jose city to buy a car.
"I want a car, just make do with it." The previous uncle's Toyota Corolla was good to pull up, and in terms of cars, Bill liked the small ones.
Americans' car shops are naturally dominated by pickup trucks and off-road vehicles, and there are a few types of sedans, only a few of Ford's.
"It's a Pony car, our high-horsepower compact sports car for the middle class......"
The bearded white clerk recommended the four young men a Ford Mustang, barely a sports car Mustang.
The sapphire blue color scheme makes Bill very excited, low-key and connotative, although the appearance has a touch of sports car feeling, but it is closer to a sedan. It's just that the price of more than 6,000 dollars makes him feel a little unaffordable.
"I also think it's a bit expensive, and there's a federal excise tax on this thing, and it's 11 percent more expensive." Martin shook his head as well.
Adam took another attitude, "That's six months of nutrition, Bill, don't you still have a scholarship?" It's convenient to buy a good car. ”
"Why don't you give it a try, the speed of the Mustang is not slow, and it is very comfortable to drive." The Running Back brothers advocated for Bill to take it for a test drive.
After a few more glances, Mr. Ferrari couldn't resist the urge in his heart, he was already a millionaire, there was no need to pick the door so hard, so he got in the car on the spot and drove out for a walk with the clerk and Arthur Brian.
"That's it." Although it was a weakened version of the sports car, it still had a push back feeling, and Bill decided to buy this one so that he could live up to the title of "Mr. Sports Car".
After Bill went to school, the consulting fees he gave to Titch, his second uncle and others stopped at dozens of dollars a week, and the money he gave to his uncle and his family continued to be paid.
The other two have a pickup truck and a Jeep off-road vehicle, and Adam said that the pickup truck can realize the function of transportation, and the rest of the money will be spent on the cause of picking up girls.
College life with a car was much more enjoyable, and Beal even became more active in class, making the rest of his teammates call the close end too studious.
On Wednesday night the following week, as agreed with Sofia, the deputy head of the HKCSS, Mr. Ferrari drove his Ford Mustang to San Jose to attend an internal Italian party.
This is a kind of inviting young people, and there are quite a few people participating, although there are many beautiful men and women, but there is still no one to hold down Bill's appearance.
"I'm Bill Ferrari, and I'm playing football on Stanford's Red and White team, and you can call me Texas Longhorns."
This is his self-introduction, Italians who engage in sports are relatively rare, and some interested peers came to Bill's side to talk, and the topics of conversation were naturally how he usually trained, whether Bill had a chance to play, and whether the rugby stadium was as luxurious and extravagant as rumored by the outside world.
Bill, who aims to expand his circle, naturally knows everything and says everything.
“…… Family, it's because my ancestors were models of Michelangelo's statues that I have such a strong body......"
After talking for a long time, Bill directly called this group of people who had just met for a long time with the tiredness of logging. Anyway, Italians are numb, and they don't care about these small details.
"You said you're a Stanford varsity player, can you get a couple of front-row tickets this weekend, some of our friends want to see the axe fight, but they haven't gotten tickets yet."
After chatting for a while, a young man named Oliver asked.
Beal felt that the tickets in the front row were a bit unpleasant, "This Saturday is our home game against the Golden Bears, and if we don't get tickets for the next two days, we really can't help it." I'm also not very sure how to find a ticket for internal relations. ”
Oliver felt it was time to give Bill a little motivation, "One of my little friends is a little brother who really wants to have a ticket in the front row, he spent more than a year in San Francisco in his second year of high school and then returned to his home in Beverly Hills, and now he finally left home to see the game that he didn't get a ticket and stood on the hill to watch the game. His uncle is the director of the godfather of the movie, if you can get a ticket, this friend will remember your favor, maybe you will appear in the movie because of it. ”
"The director of the Godfather of Cinema?" Bill thought about it, it was Francis Ford Coppola, and his nephew seemed to be Nicolas Cage, the king of bad movies.
"This little friend can't be Nicholas Coppola, right?"
Mr. Ferrari asked.
The reason why the king of bad movies keeps picking up bad movies is that he has been divorced three or four times, and the money has been divided, plus he likes to collect special items, most of which are fake.
Oliver was surprised, "You know him?" ”
PS: Some people say that entering the fraternity broadens the network, I roughly explain that the network is naturally broadened with one's own strength, and there is no need to join a certain organization to achieve it, and the fraternity on campus is full of rubbish, and the rush of joining the club is very perverted, and the members are generally white supremacy rich second generation. In the '80s, Italians could not be called white and were generally not eligible for membership. The protagonist himself has two large social circles and does not need to join such a lowly organization as the fraternity.
