I have also played golf with Wes, Paul, and Mike.... have WE played golf with each other?Played golf with Wes Durham, Paul Johnson, Charles Kelly, Sewak, and couple others from CPJ’s staff.
Met Bobby Cremmins at Kiawah too.
My brother spilled nachos all over Varitek at the peach bowl when LSU clobbered us.
I crashed into Kelly Rhino and his wife at the GT - Clemson game that we won on the BEBE Thomas fake FG for a TD game- I was jumping up and down when we converted like a 3rd and 19 towards the end of the game and fell over into the Rhino family.
Met Dwyer on the sidelines of UGA game that we lost and he was distraught- tried to encourage him to get ready for the ACC championship game that we won a week later over the Tigs.
Met Joe Hamilton numerous times- in Chicago for our game against ND
Bill Curry is a man I'd love to meet. He's such a great man and probably has a lot of stories to tell.I got three for yall
1) I was lab partners with Don (Duck) Stephenson's (All-American Lineman, 1956 & 57) daughter in Middle School in Smyrna GA. I had finished up whatever we were supposed to be doing that day and like a true nerd, pulled out a GT football book and started reading it. His daughter looked across the table and it was opened to page with Stephenson on it and said something like "hey, that's Daddy!"
2) Got lit up in SAC one spring evening by Mark Price. We had a pretty good run going, but then Price and Petway and a few others came in. I got the honor of trying to guard Mark. Lit me up like a Christmas tree. I did score on him once though!
3) A few years ago, I met Bill Curry leaving a GT football game. I believe he had been honored at half time. My wife and I were leaving after the game and walked up on him from behind at Peter's park. Said "hi coach" and made a little small talk. It was a fun chance meeting.
Oh,, I totally forgot about SAC. I played pick up games with Kenny Anderson and Dennis Scott. I also play a lot with the kid from England.I got three for yall

Met and talked to the great Roger Kaiser a few years back at AMC had short nice conversation. Truly a great person. Always knew Kim King from my high school years.I have two stories. A few years back George O'Leary was at a game bc he was being honored for something, I think an anniversary of one of his teams. When me and my family (which includes my dad, mom, and twin brother) walked out of the stadium after the game, there was Coach O'Leary minding his own business walking out of the stadium as well. I'm too young to remember him (but I know about his time and accomplishments at Tech.) but I recognized him and when my dad saw him his eyes lit up. He was very kind and let us pose for photos with him.
Another time, I was jogging around Tech. This one was a few months back, I think November '22. I go to Woodward and in the cross country/track offseason when I don't practice at school I will go to my mom's office which is in midtown, change into running clothes, and run around midtown and the Tech campus. (This is how I sneak into the stadium sometimes.) I was jogging by the edge center, and who do I see walking down the sidewalk? Coach Nell Fortner. I hollered "Coach Nell!" and when she turned around little did I know She was talking on the phone. I felt bad but when she hung up on whoever she was talking to she was kind and let me take a pic with her. She asked me to keep up the support and try to go to some WBB games.
I'm very young, and I bet some of you guys have some crazy stories of bumping into Tech legends out in the wild.
