Got 'em?

For instance, if have a couple of cousins who played QB at 'Bama.

What's your claim to fame? Perhaps you played a little ball?

I have a cousin who played baseball for the Mets in the 60s. I don't even know his name though so this post is kind of pointless

Not my relatives, but one of my best friends since middle school has some. We've been good friends for about 15 years now and I'm really tight with his whole family. They have sent a walkon special teamer (few years ago), 2nd string lineman (current), and just recently another son (who will probably never be heard from ever) all to alabama.

Germans, I started this same thread about 2 months ago.

But it's ok, and I have a cousin who's going to be playing FB for Auburn in the fall, and another cousin who played for the Seahawks and Cardinals.

Is it bad that I think that's cooler than any other answer short of being a Manning?

Not related to him, but I have a lifetime batting average of .750 against David Robertson of UA and currently Yankees fame.

My cousin was on the Alabama 79 team.
Has the NC ring and sugar bowl watch and even had a broadcast copy (on VHS) of the Penn State game. Back in those days just a blank VHS tape alone was pretty pricey and how he got a copy I dont know.
