Cole Aldrich Meets His Match

The Oklahoma City Thunder had their first ever rally in Wichita today. They brought two former University of Kansas players with them that now play for the Thunder, Nick Collison and Cole Aldrich. People have always told us that Andrew looks a lot like Cole. My mom, a huge KU basketball fan, was the first one to ever point it out. We saw the resemblance so there was no question that we should go meet Cole and get a picture of the two of them. Andrew tells us that many of the kids at this mini-camp kept telling him that he looked just like Cole Aldrich and asking him if they were brothers. Even employees of the Thunder saw the resemblance. I think Kelly McKeown, their Director of Marketing & Brand Management mentioned it when we spoke with him on the playground outside of the venue while waiting for the doors to open. Then, when Cole and Nick showed up, one of the guys leading the camp grabbed Andrew from his group drills and brought him over to Cole for this picture. Pretty cool! I've never really been a fan of pro basketball, but we've all taken an interest in the Oklahoma City Thunder this year and are looking forward to the season.
