A bigger surprise than you hanging out with Brangelina is that you're apparently a female. A female who takes the username piggilicious. That takes balls. Oh... wait.

Have a great weekend!

Darren McFadden, Spoke at his Baccalaureate

DJ Williams, Joe Adams, watched them play highschool football and spoke to them often.

I sold condoms to Shaq when he was at LSU. Not joking. Was paying for school working at Circle K. He'd pull up in a big, black SUV of the type LSU lends players. Really nice, normal guy. Would chat. Dude was HUGE. Was hilarious how he had to bend over sideways to speak to us under the cigarette rack. In grad school I taught a number of players. All were just normal students, but that was back in the 90s. Nobody cared who the athletes were at the time. Oh, once Dale Brown called me and asked if one of his basketball players could retake a test because the student had been "busy". I rather went off on him. Ticked me off because I worked 40-80 hours a week to pay my way through school. P.S. My dad has more interesting stories involving Billy Cannon, but not stuff I'd put on the net. ;-)

Chad Jackson- Florida. 2006 2nd round draft pick to the Pats. Lived in my best friends neighborhood when he was at Hoover HS and used to come outside and school us youngins sometimes when we were playing sports

Josh Chapman- Alabama- 3rd round draft pick, plays for the Colts. Graduated 2 years ahead of me with my sister. Did discuss and shot put with him. Mom taught him in middle school, he still refers to her as his second mom and has even posted about her on his Instagram. Friend of the whole family.

Jake Holland- Auburn. Year younger than me at a nearby HS. We are "Eskimo brothers"

Phillip Lutzenkirchen- Auburn. My sister was good friends with his roommate Chandler Brooks (AU punter) so I hung out at his apartment a couple times


ETA-

Almost forgot Stan White- QB of the undefeated 93 AU team and current Auburn radio broadcaster. He lives in Hoover and was a regular at a place I used to work at. We used to talk Auburn sports all the time. Had a funny conversation with him after he 2013 Iron Bowl about how you can hear him in the background of the Rod Bramblett call yelling "OH MY GOD!" Over and over


Met Bart Starr and Al Del Greco several times around Hoover. Don't know either one on a personal level but both are more famous then the others I mentioned.

Many. FB, MBasketball/WBasketall, softball/baseball and others folks would likely know. Not being a smartass but some were students and some were not but because some were students, I don't feel like I should say.

The only ones I feel comfortable revealing in any way are a former LB (also a pro player) who is like an uncle to me and who older posters might remember (name withheld because he's still like an uncle to me), a former RB most would know and who also played in the pros and did well for himself that many might remember (name withheld because I went to HS with him and he used to come over to the house), and Tee Martin who was a very laid back/cool guy when I met him.

Others were either students or students when I was a TA/GTA. Although some I had class with as a ugrad.

Jeff Burger - good ol' boy
Randy Campbell - great guy
Pat Dye - stand-offish (not surprising in a deity)

Cornelius Bennett - I was wearing an Auburn shirt and he introduced himself to me at Walmart in Roswell GA
Joe Namath - introduced himself to me and other Auburn band members on the sideline of the 1981 Iron Bowl. Classy, nice guy.

I played PS2 with Prothro a few times at his crib back in the day. This was after the injury. I could tell it bothered him so I didn't ask. Met Terry Grant after a game once. Nice guy. I know Reggie Ragland personally and have known his family for many years. Wife works with his brother.

Reggie is a great kid. The thought on him out of high school was he would make a better TE than a LB. Wasn't mean enough and had soft hands. Saban worked that "softness" out of him his first year and now he says he loves to "clap the frick" out of people. Whatever that means.
