More coming out now..

Forrest Swan, 22, is just a normal college student at East Tennessee State University who works at a Kingsport, TN wing joint (we’re withholding the named of the location so Forrest doesn’t lose his job) on weekends to pay for college

Give his full name, where he goes to school and that he works at a wing joint. Nobody will figure that out.

The only issue, Forrest told us this afternoon in a phone interview, is that he’s not really an Auburn fan. The Virginia native roots for Virginia Tech.

Swan says that the Alabama fans, who weren’t drinking, consisted of two guys and a woman in their early 20s who came in right after the Iron Bowl.

“They weren’t even wearing any Alabama stuff or anything that would tell me they were Alabama fans.”

Swan, who says he hasn’t had job-related trouble with Bama fans in the past, made small talk with his customers and said that “the game was incredible and that he was pretty proud of Auburn. They deserved it.”

There were two checks. One was the now infamous $20 charge on a prepaid card and the other was for $50, which he was also stiffed on. There was no Bama message left on the $50 receipt. Forrest later learned that $20 Bama fan called the restaurant with a preposterous claim that he had tried to add a $4 tip to the Regions prepaid card

Asked if he’d have a problem going to the BCS game in Pasadena if Auburn makes it and wants to have him out as a guest, he laughed.

“Absolutely, that would be the time of my life.”

Forget donations, just send him a ticket.
