I see Roger Staubach in our local Starbucks all the time
I sat in a valet line with Barry Switzer at a charity event and he was really hilarious.
I rode the terminal train with Robert Horry in Las Vegas and he started talking to me as one of the most annoying Lakers fans of all time would not leave him alone.
I ran into Earl Campbell in the bathroom of an Austin Strip club called Sugars during a bachelor party. We all asked for autographs and he told us he didn't want to hang out in the pisser and proceeded to walk out really really slowly due to all his career injuries.

When my dad was a kid, Staubach and Landry came to his church (I think it was church) to talk about leadership and stuff.

Staubach and Earl Campbell, that's awesome
I love those guys, even though Campbell was a Horn

Met the hot Cal pole vaulting chick when I had a connection at Sky Harbor.
Shot my shot. I shouldn't need to tell anyone how that worked out.

Lance Armstrong: I worked at a marina on Lake Austin when I was in high school and he walked up to me while I was washing a boat. He asked me if I would wash his for boat for the summer, took me like 20 minutes each time, and he always gave me $100. He was way more pleasant than I expected.
Andy Roddick and Brooklyn Decker: Same place I met Lance, Westwood Country Club.
Dennis Quaid: Austin Golf Club
Luke Wilson: Austin Golf Club
Owen Wilson: Austin Golf Club
JJ Reddick: Austin Golf Club
Sergio Garcia: Austin Golf Club
Bruce Smith: I sat next to him on an airplane when I was like 12. Sadly I didn't really know who he was at the time until I looked him up later. He was so nice
Mark Cuban: Met him at a bar in Dallas during Texas/OU weekend like a decade ago. My drunk arse friend was seriously trying to pitch him business ideas and Cuban was so annoyed.
Ben Crenshaw: Met him at Austin Country Club. He's the fricking man

Graduated high school with Warrick Dunn. Does that count?

I had a layover in Atlanta going to the Final 4 and I ended up sitting next to and talking to Sir Charles Barkley on the connecting flight. I was surprised he was flying with all of us regular people, but it was 1st class. He let us take selfies. One lady asked him if he was Shaq. He is a regular cool dude.

Randy Orton. He's a a cool guy. We talked for a bit at a gym in Atlanta and did a few sets together.
Duke Roufus. Total badass and one hell of Muay Thai and MMA coach.
Those are the only two I've had conversations with. I've met others, meaning I shook their hands and moved on, but that's about it.

I saw AJ McTat at the rec center.
Did classes with several UA football players (since UA isnt my favorite)
From my favorite I was right behind CJ Uzomah at the bookstore.
