The rant thread on "football players in the SEC you know" got me wondering. Who else do you know or hung out with one time that is awesome

Name drop

I ate a picnic lunch with the CEO of Trader Joe's on my FIL's yacht at Catalina one July 4th weekend.

Leon Wilkeson. Met him in a hotel lobby in Memphis after LSU @ Ole Miss in 1999 (OM won 42-23). Some groupies were harassing the band and asking for autographs and he walked over to the bar where I was. He asked where I and my friends were from and we talked college football and Ole Miss for about 20 minutes.

Then he called over the tour manager and gave me 4 front row tickets and back stage passes for the show in Mobile the next day. He handed me a Jason hockey mask (the next day was Halloween) and said, "You'll be in the front row tomorrow. Hold this up and I'll find you and put it on."


The next day I couldn't get anyone to drive to Mobile with me. They all believed I was full of shite. I called the ticket office and the tickets were there. I still have the mask.

The bassist for flyleaf came to my small group for a while.

TJ Waldeburger from UFC goes to my church when he's in town.

All I got.

Do you live in the sticks? In a town of 1200 off an old dirt road?

Nope, I just by luck and happenstance know a few well connected people and thru them I have met a lot of folks.


A couple I listed I played ball with growing up.

Scott Feldman was my go to golfing buddy for a couple years until he got traded to the 'stros.

Brad Leland aka Buddy Garrity is also a golfing buddy. He likes to bet above his skill level so that's good for me.

Richard Jefferson and I share an uncle by marriage, so I gets tickets like whoa up in da AAC

I am a member of the a&m letterman's club, so I meet lots of famous Aggie athletes at tailgates.

There's another name you'd probably recognize, but he's like a second dad to me so I'd rather not put that out.

Knew Hayley Willams in high school.

Partied with Jon Leuer a few times. Saw him get cockblocked by a polish chick. Know Kosta and Beno too. All of them live in my building. Tony Allen used to. He's a cool dude.

Most all of the upper level FedEx people because of my mother.

Penny Hardaway is friends with my dad and used to try to buy our German Shepards for some reason.

The Touhys. Meh...

Cassius Vaughn. Colts DB.

Deuce McAllister and Romero Miller hang out at our tent on occasion.

That's all I can remember/care to remember.

Used to ball with DeAndre Jordan semi-regularly during his year at A&M. Got dunked on more times than I could count. He dunked on everybody

Have gotten to shake hands with Condi Rice and Obama.

Hung out with a ton of A&M football players during my little brothers freshman year as a walk on.
