Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[volfaninpa]

I met Allan Houston who came to a basketball camp I went to in my hometown when he was playing for Tennessee.

I met former Baltimore Ravens' kicker Matt Stover.

That's all I got.

 

[ButchAintOne]

Also tried to get me to call Curt Maggit and Aj Johnson on his phone but I was skeered

 

[butchna]

Had a conversation in an elevator with Bobcat Goldthwaite. They had just cancelled one of his TV shows and he was interviewing with Kidd Kraddick (syndicated radio show) in the building.

All Vol Fans to Butch Jones. Answer is Yes

 

[Ace]

No luck in hitting on her. Lol

She is left handed

I once worked a job where I ushered Brian Westbrook to and from a dressing room for a TV show, and on his way out, Mark Wahlberg was coming in. Wahlberg stops him, tells him what a big fan he is, Go Eagles, daps him up, and then leaves. When we were riding the elevator alone, Westbrook looked and me and asked, "Was that Marky Mark?"

He had no idea who it was. I've been laughing about that for years.

16” centers too far apart?

Mine are either 12" or 8" on center. When we got ready to put it down the builder came to me and said it wasn't close enough and he was going to double up on what was there. I would check (was there yesterday) but I won't be back for about 10 days. I will check next time I'm there and let you know, hope it's not too late for you. Here's a pic showing how it's run at 45. It was put down 12 or 13 years ago and we have loved it. We used Tiger Claw hidden fasteners but there are probably netter options now.

Actually, Mark Wahlberg was formerly known as Marky Mark.

Shopping at the local Costco here in Memphis. Standing in the checkout line directly next to me is Steven Seagal.

And while shopping at Academy Sports, I spotted Tim Howard in the shoes section, exactly 6 months after his famous World Cup performance. I shook his hand.

Seagal bought a house at some point on Forest Hill Irene. Don’t know that he lives there anymore. His daughter was at St. Jude. Good friends own the local Ben and Jerry’s, and they catered her birthday party after they struck up a conversation when originally visiting the store.

Ranking SEC teams by number of returning starters

[Rememberthe1990s]

JG at QB

My boy needs me to sleep with him every night because of it. It's scary. He cries for many hours from the nightmares. Preacher says it'll pass.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I met Trooper Taylor back when he was a coach at TN. It was during the summer at a travel baseball tournament( wasn't in knoxville). He was watching the game on a field right beside the one I was on. I went up and talked to him for a second turns out his son was pitching. I remember he couldn't stand still and was pacing back and forth the entire time.
Also met Paula Dean her and both of her sons were at their restuarant in Savannah when we were there on vacation very nice.

Just dropped Cable. Woo hoo. Saves us about $1200 a year. I will go have a Beer (actually many and top it off with Bourbon). Got Netflix, Disney Plus (which Includes Hulu for pretty much any show just not live) and Youtube TV (Unlimited DVR) for just $75 a month.

For the wrestling fans, I met Sgt. Slaughter when I was a kid. He did a show on the navy base we lived on and me and my dad went. Did a meet and greet afterwards.

I met Rowdy Roddy Piper at a bar here when he was in town filming Zombies vs Wrestlers!! Lol
Always thought the was huge growing up, he was shorter than me and I’m 6’.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Met Jason Day and his wife (who is smokin) at Five Guys on A1A after the final round of The Players in 2011. He finished top 5 and no one in the place knew who he was but we got him to sign our tickets.

Also had Barry Bonds cuss me out in the Giants locker room at Turner Field in 2001 when I was 10. What a douchebag.

 

[Z06VolinWV]

Met Byron Leftwich... that sucked.

I knew him from Marshall, had several classes with him. Not the brightest fella...

 

[Z06VolinWV]

Met Tyler Childers outside a bar in Key West once too, he wasn’t much for words; but he did say “go VOLS” when he saw my coozie.

It’ll Pass better than JG

I caught Childers at a bar in Nashville before he blew up. He bought me a round after the show. Really nice guy.

 

[tnhunter 10]

I met Toby Keith and DDP in Iraq. Also met the Undertaker, John Michael Montgomery and bunch of other celebs at USO event in Fort Hood, TX.

Cool thanks.

I have a good buddy from Huntington and he’s pretty good friends with his drummer or something, he was backstage at a show in Florida and asked he could meet Tyler, and he wouldn’t come out.

Met more than once...oh, that’s right...you’re too old to remember.

I once caught a ride home from the strip with a guy who claimed he was a punter. We went through drive-thru to get some food and he passes out right there in the drive-thru line. Luckily a guy I had biology with freshman year was coming out of the restaurant and offered to give me a ride home.
