re: Ever seen a prominent coach in public just by chance?

Yeah, Saban gave me the horn because I didn't go fast enough when the light turned green. Absolutely not shitting about that.

I was in line behind Pat Dye in a store as he was on his phone trying to convince someone on the other end not to sell his Colonial Bank stock.

I once flew on a plane from Atlanta to Philly with Bill Curry. Of course, he was in First Class, but he was kind enough to speak.

Ditka, Landry, Stallings, Red Jesus Garrett, Bob Davie, Spike Dykes, Switzer, to name a few

I ran into Coach O in Marietta, Ga a couple of years ago at a gas station. He had just got out of a rental car as I was coming out of the store. I said hello and asked if he was there for the Marietta kids. He said “yesssir!” I said “good luck coach.” He said “geaux tigas.” Then we parted ways and that is all there was to that encounter.

0 asked me how many dolla bills I had at a strip club a couple of years ago. That count?

1971 Tuscaloosa Holiday Inn. Bear Bryant in the dining room on a Sunday Morning. Day after LSU game.

David Cutcliffe Danvers Oxford, Frank Martin Five Points Columbia, Dawn Staley next lane over at the gun range in Columbia.

In 1965 at Denny Stadium I was there to watch my brother play in the Alabama High School All Star Game. I ran into Bear Bryant in a isolated part of the stadium he stopped and talked to me like I was an old friend.( I was 17 years old at the time). I ran to Shug Jordan in Auburn several times and he always made me feel like he remembered me because my brother played at Auburn, he was a real gentleman. I sort of knew Terry Bowden he was a real butthole. I ran into Pat Dye at a hunting expo and he teamed up with me for a while maybe because I am a former college football player and sort of looked the part. We spent quite a bit of time together that day and he was a very humble person and made me feel important. I was waiting at an Auburn restaurant one night when Tommy Turberville came up an introduced himself and we talked a bit. I also met and talked to Sonny Smith at an event. Very nice guy and really enjoyed talking to him. Almost forgot I did some promotions with Gene Stallings and man was he a great guy, Also did some promotions with Bill Curry and I can’t say the same.
