This time about Mooney (from the other day, they profiled Moretti)

Preview only:

They wanted to visit so soon, and Mooney was a college senior who lived with three other dudes, and he occasionally returned from the gym to find those dudes throwing a party, which was exactly what happened the night before Texas Tech’s coaches were coming.

The next morning, everyone woke up to clean. The kitchen floor, which felt like a glue trap, was a lost cause. Nor was there much to do about the couch with the broken back that more or less swallowed anyone who sat on it. Mooney and his roommates moved the couch strategically, so the coaches were unlikely to use it, and decided just to keep them out of the kitchen. It was a plan. Maybe not a great plan, but a plan. And then Chris Beard and two assistants showed up, and everyone stood to say hello, and then the coaches walked around the house and right through the kitchen before deciding to make themselves comfortable on a couch that sunk to the floor.

“I can still see them in there,” Mooney said with a smile on Friday. “They didn’t care.”
