    “I was sitting enjoying my lunch at a table in the press box, watching the start of the Iowa-Northwestern game. There was a game-day worker at the table, too, and about midway through my meal, Michael Adams came and sat down next to her, striking up a conversation. He asked her if she went to school at Georgia (she didn’t) and what she did here. She then asked if he worked at Georgia, too. “Well, yes, I do,” he said. “I’m the president of the university.” Hilarious.”

    So here’s the part where like, everyone I know stops following me. Michael Adams is actually pretty good at what he does. He came to speak to us in Oxford and was very personable, had a few jokes (mostly about underage drinking) and passionate about international education. After his lecture, he joined us for High Table dinner and I had the chance to talk to he and his wife for about 20 minutes.

    He may have the worst policies ever, like ZERO FUN EVER, but as a fundraiser and public relations manager of the University, he’s very good at his job. (Minus that whole, forgetting to renew the trademarks for the University and the concurring fight with the Board of Trustees). But kissing ass and begging for money? He’s stellar.
