Hey, I know that guy!

I was sent a link to this article by my high school coaching buddy Jason Hite, and the email said, “Check out my boy. Know who that is?”

The guy holding up Holly Madison (she is one of Hef’s former girlfriends on the Girls Next Door, in case you didn’t recognize her,) is TJ Auner. He was an All-American at nearby Greenwood High School who is now swimming at USC, and Jason coached him to a stellar senior season.

When I asked Jason if I could blog about it, he replied, “only if you give me credit for developing him into such a pimp. it was my influence that allowed him to come out of his shell and to have the balls to ask a woman of that calibur a question.”

I will be the first to tell you that Jason knows how to develop some studly athletes in the pool and he can get them ready for the college environment, but I am pretty sure I had a little more influence on his studliness since I coached him at the ever-so-impressionable ages 7-10. He is at the top of the medal stand in this pic from when he was 8. I posted it so all the USC girls can embarass him and go "awww... so cuuute!"

My influence is undeniable. Isn't that an Alaskan girl he is carrying?

Go Teej!
