[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 916912, member: 844"] I had the opportunity to have a cup of coffee with him once. I was in a coffee shop in Columbus Ohio (his hometown at the time) and it was sometime during the holiday season. We met in line and I was wearing a GT hat back in the days of Lil' Joe and GOL. We started talking college FB and we continued the discussion after being served. Two takeways - first of all, he was not just a talking head, you could tell he loved the game as much as the average schmuck in the stands or on the message boards. Secondly, I was blown away about how much preparation he must do in his job. His discussion of our team extended past an awareness of both Lil' Joe and GOL, which any casual fan back then would have known. He was aware of our roster, key players and the coaches on the staff as well. As knowledgeable as all but the most die hard GT fan at the time. I kept thinking how does a guy know this much about 1 random team? Could he speak at the same level about Iowa State? Arizona? Syracuse? If so, he must have spent as much time away from the camera doing his homework. All in all, he was a very gracious and engaging person and I have been a huge fan ever since. [/QUOTE]
