Nick's dorm.
In a lovely alignment of the stars, it turns out Martin Ruter, a prominent Methodist missionary to the Republic of Texas, was finally interred with a granite monument to him in . . . wait for it . . . Navasota.

Coach Austin (and Eboh in the background) stopped by to check on Nick and give him the names of the other 10 or so players currently on the roster that are in Ruter.
Nick's space
You could fit the bed IN the closet. This one private room is bigger than the room he shared with Clay at Blinn. By the way, that dorm at Blinn was condemned and demolished after the spring semester. Nick has the distinction of being the very last person to sleep a night in it.
Every student was a different Pokemon. The little 6 year old kids who obsessively collected all 151 original ones are in college now. (And there's something like 600 these days.) The fact that Nick could still tell me all the names was a little scary.

| This is what all the other rooms in the dorm look like: single room, bunked beds. I'm not sure how Nick scored the end of the hall three-roomed spot, but he was very appreciative of the space and privacy. |
On the way back to Marci's, he drove me by the stadium where he will play his first game on 9/7/13:
Go Pirates!
