try to come up with #content about Kentucky athletics that our group can in
turn sell to a sponsor.

importance we need to know about your job or what you do?: During basketball season I also host the
weekly TV show for the Kentucky Basketball team. If you have FSN South, FSN
Tennessee, etc. you can watch to see how I stay sharp for my PCTI sideline
reporting. PS - will someone please take this job from me? I'm beyond tired of
seeing my face, much less doing it.
Are you married or
dating anyone? If so, tell us about them: Married. My wife Angie works in the news.
She's the evening anchor for the NBC affiliate in Lex. She grew up here and is
a UK alum. She thinks PCTI is stupid but she also thinks I'm stupid and I don't
mean that in a cute way. She's been around since PCTI I and has asked me at
most 10 questions about it, the vast majority of which deal with making sure
I'm not inconveniencing her when I go out of town.
Do you have any
kids?: Our first arrived
about a short time after last PCTI. Little Boyd Carney, aka The Baby Beast, was
born 8/8/18. At present he's approaching nine months old and has no teeth,
no hair and has shown no signs of wanting to crawl. I think he might be left
handed. I plan to be prove that having a kid does not have to negatively affect
one's PCTI output.
Outside of ball, what
do you enjoy? This year has been all
about adjusting to and enjoying life with the baby. Real talk: having a kid is
an incredible blessing and legitimately the coolest thing that's ever happened
in my life. Several of the guys in the this group who have kids (it might have
been all the guys, actually) reached out to me via text in the days after he
was born to congratulate me and say some very nice things. It meant a lot.
Aright, that's it for the sappy stuff, I'll save the rest of it
for Saturday night in Minnie.

BEN
Name/Nickname: Benjamin Tyler Wilson. Nicknames I
remember, chronologically: Plug (fat
baby)…Oscar the Grouch
(from Sunday School teacher, must’ve loved church)…The Dome or Dome
(from baseball, I used
the same helmet from when I was like 12 until I was in high school, let’s just
say it
had a low crown)…Blur
(from basketball, because I’m so fast)…BenWilson (from PCTI, so I don’t get
mixed up with the
other Ben’s).
Where do you live: (West) Nashville, TN.
Where do you work: Barnes & Noble at Vanderbilt.
What is your job title?: Department Manager, General Merchandise.
Give us a day to day breakdown of what you do: I’m over anything that has the
Vanderbilt logo on it
(mostly clothing, then
gifts/accessories, about 12 people in my department). I do a little over $6
million in
sales in a year, which
puts me 4th out of about 720 stores in the company behind Harvard, Yale, and
Penn (that was the best Donley description I could muster). 1x-2x times a year,
I walk into work to find Joe Thompson harassing my employees…he arrives, raises
hell, then leaves. Then the next day his bag boy Will shows up to handle his
shopping.
Anything else of importance we need to know
about your job or what you do?: I hope to not be in
that job by the time
PCTI9 rolls around.
Are you married or dating anyone? If so, tell
us about them: Not married, been
dating Alicia for about
2.5 years, living
together for the past 1.5 years. We may get married someday when I can afford
it.
She’s a business
consultant for Ankura (formerly c3) and was recently voted part of the Top 30
under 30
here in Nashville by
the Cystic Fibrosis foundation (NBD but KBD, again trying the Donley route).
She’s
cooler than me.
Do you have any kids?: We have 1 son, Bear, an Australian Shepherd
mix who is about 14 months old
and 75ish pounds. His
PCTI comparison is Beas because he’s beautiful, strong, agile, and hellacious.
\We love to eat which is a problem re: maintaining some semblance
of shape. I used to go
to many a concert but I’m sad to report my music intake has slowed down
considerably, which I
didn’t think would happen this quickly. I like traveling (do a golf trip once a
year, and
Alicia and I do a
beach trip in October once a year). That rolls us into the next sentence, I
enjoy hitting
the links when I
can…handicap is sitting at a 6.2 currently (I am overrated) so I’m hoping to
get some high
scores in the system
before said golf trip in August. We also like doing all the things you do when
you get
a dog, so there’s
that. We also recently began attending an Illuminati-type gathering known as
SommDay, which is a
monthly gathering of friends (notably 2 other PCTI’ers) to partake in food/wine
pairings at each
other’s homes. Think the Finer Things Club, but better. It’s very bougie and
uppity, Dan
would hate it. I think
Spotlight would be the glaring next candidate to join if he lived on this
continent.

Stubb
Where do you
live: Just south of downtown Nashville
Where do you
work: Hopkins-Page, my dad has a small accounting firm that I started working
at about 20 months ago.

title?: No idea really. I
think Staff Accountant might be on my LinkedIn profile. I do a lot of different
things so it doesn’t really matter.
Give us a day to day
breakdown of what you do: I
do your basic accounting work (tax returns, audit work, finances, etc.) which I
barely knew anything about when I started and have learned as little as
possible. I also handle the “IT”, payroll, billing, and any other menial tasks that
come up.
Anything else of
importance we need to know about your job or what you do?: I don’t enjoy the
work and am looking, so holler if you need someone with very little work place
skills. But it pays DEM BILLZ
Are you married or
dating anyone? If so, tell us about them: Married to one of the OG PCTI wives,
Carrie. She has met most of you and enjoys none of you (except the QP), so I
know she’s a good judge. She is a marketing director and left Trevecca
University in January for Smart Bug, which is a 100% remote company. She’s
originally from Idaho, we met at UT and have been married 7 years. She is a
catch and has a nice ass.
Do you have any kids?:
We have one on the way and we are not finding out the gender. Hoping for
a boy but we will probably keep it if it’s a girl. I am extremely excited and
terrified at the same time.
Outside of ball, what
do you enjoy? Preds #glorious and Vols. Preds have really taken over due to Tennessee
being dumb for over a decade. Carrie and I watch A LOT of TV. Going to the
occasional concert. Other than that, just having some cold ones with my boyz. I’m
up for any vice!
