As the title says , this is going to be one of those cool story bro threads .
So , anyway, on the weekend that Oklahoma played Nebraska during the 2000 season, I'm sitting in the waiting room of a Goodyear joint getting some new shoes on my ride, and an older dude , probably 65ish was flipping channels and landed on the Oklahoma game . I was half watching that and tinkering with my goofy flip phone and he asks if I was into cfb and I was like yeh sir, and he makes the comment that Oklahoma had just embarrassed Texas and Kansas State in back to back games , and this was going to be a hell of a game . I agreed since even though Texas was basically = Georgia under Richt at that time, they were still pretty good with Applewhite . KState was another matter. That was a good team. So after the 5th time or so of hearing them slobber on about Josh Heupel, I'm like " is this dude really that good or is it his receivers?" He says , he's probably taking the Heisman this year. I was like hrm , ok . All 1st qtr it was looking like Nebraska was going to smash them on their forehead like a Budweiser can, but then all the sudden Heupel gets in his groove in the 2nd and just gets absolutely possessed. A lot of it was his receivers too, but damn was he clutch. It was cool to watch because Oklahoma had sucked for so long since their mid 80s days , but this team was no fluke. They shut down and abused Eric Crouch the rest of the game on defense as well. The weird part was the man I was watching this with said "that boy would make a good coach one day" . I thought it was kinda odd because he didn't say he was gonna make a good qb in the NFL , like I just assumed because I'm dumb at that age , and I always figured if you're good in college , you'll be good in the pros. I didn't know crap. I'm not sure what led him to say that , unless he was all up in Oklahoma football and knew things about JH that I obviously didn't . Anyway, fate is a funny thing, him ending up our coach. Oh, the year before , Heupel's first year with them, they went 7-5 .

I would have ended it:

"I noticed his haircut seemed familiar. Then, he turned to me and asked 'You know, I'm working on this list of football wisdom. I think I need seven items, but I'm stuck on the 7th. I've got 'Carry the fight to our opponent.' but that seems abrupt. Any suggestions?"

"That's when I got a chill and realized what was happening. I offered 'and keep it there for 60 minutes' He smiled, told me that was perfect, and disappeared in a swirl of haze."

Now THAT is a CS, B!

I can't remember what I did yesterday. I applaud you for having such a good memory that you are able to recall, word for word, an encounter you had with a total stranger in a tire shop waiting room 20 years ago.

Your sarcastic smartassery is acknowledged, but it's not that hard to remember an exchange of maybe 5 or 6 comments during the course of a bit over 3/4 of a game that was pretty memorable. I do hate to hear that a lot of people seem to have some amount of dementia these days. You're obviously implying that I'm making this up. Why would a person make up story like this? What would be the point if it weren't true?

Once my car was lifted up having the tires changed. The man working on the car was called away on an important job in the middle of the tire change. His young assistant took over. All the lugnuts had been placed and they just needed to be turned in.Shortly thereafter the young tire changing assistant’s hand slipped while turning and a lugnut fell to the garage below. This was in West Virginia. Sure enough a young Nick Saban spent the next hour trying to reach up high enough to replace the lugnut into my rim.

Cool story…..but being honest…I thought the man was going to be Vince Lombardi. (or maybe a daytime soap opera star….IDK)

Fo reelz! He could’ve at least lied and said he found out later that the old guy in the tire shop was Brian Bosworth or something.
GBO!!

Quite the opposite, I am legitimately impressed. My own memory shortcomings are honestly, real, so I am rather envious at times of others. If I’m being sarcastic I will use blue font.
