Another appearance on College Football Live

So on Tuesday (yesterday) I was a guest on College Football Live as part of the summer's "What if" series, to talk about what might have happened had Rich Rodriguez said yes to Alabama, which instead went on to hire Nick Saban.

I wrote a column about it: http://alabama.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1100623

The funny thing to me, though, was the producers asked for a headshot to use since it was a phone interview, and I really don't have a good one. So I sent three pictures, an old headshot that was cropped too tight, a picture from a book signing, and this picture I took myself to use with potential book promos.

If you look carefully you can tell I took it in a mirror. The UNH Hockey logo is backwards.

Book sales update

Alas, the sales figures from my Taylor Trade books are finally in for July 1, 2009-Dec. 31, 2009. As expected it didn't change the rankings of my 14 books:
