So....my gal went to the Woman's Day Clinic again this weekend and came back with all sorts of cool stories.
One that particularly caught my attention was from a forum they had with the coach's wives.
Mrs. Cristobol said that they frequently had players over for dinner and whatnot. Apparently, they have an open door policy so if a kid gets lonely or homesick, he can head over to Mario's house and hang out or get some food. She says that they never order out for food because when a player comes over to eat, she wants them to have a homecooked, family-style experience.
Mrs. C also said that the coach's wives are important to the recruiting effort when the recruits and the player's families visit Eugene.
It seems the wives spend a fair amount of time with the recruit's mothers....and the moms really like to know that their kids will a have a surrogate mom's support. They feel good knowing that the Eugene ladies will take care of their kids.
I never knew any of that.
I think that is really cool and I had no idea the coach's wives were that involved.
