Went to Armando’s this morning (and yes-my hair is now perfect). Missed Coach Kelly since he had his hair styled on Tuesday. But it was like “team day” with Aaron Lynch, Darius Fleming, Manti T’eo and young Eilar Hardy (4* D-back from Ohio) all getting their cuts for the Blue-Gold Game this weekend.
