So my wife and I are sitting in the Atlanta airport waiting for our flight when I realize we forgot our football tickets back at the house. She frantically tries to get her friend on the phone who has a spare key for about 15 minutes before we finally get a hold of her so she can mail us the tickets to Seattle. Anyways, an older gentleman near us overhears and after she gets off the phone he comes up to us and offers us 2 of his 16 tickets he has for the game. He said two of his friends had to back out at the last minute so he was happy to help out a fellow fan. We declined since our friend should be able to overnight the tickets in time, but I just was moved that people can be so generous to total strangers.

Tons of tiger fans on our flight. I can't wait to see all the gold on Saturday! Geaux Tigers!

You shouldn't be on here during the flight. The plane may crash old man. You only have a few good years left in you. You wouldn't want to piss those away.

Great. Now two planes full of Tiger fans are doomed.

Why? I'm pretty sure he isn't flying the plane, at least not while holding a mixed drink....

Yeah I just picked up my brother last night and there was 20+ LSU fans on his jet... kinda got goosebumps cause it just made me more excited for this game... The infestation has started and Seattle isn't gonna know what hit them...

My little brother comes in tonight and I'm hoping to see even more...

I thought my wife grabbed them, she thought I did. Basically I'm a moron, and as the man I figure it is my fault to not have the tickets

No, I didn't know the guy offering me tickets, never had spoken to him before he offered them to me.

I'm on flight 1039 out of ATL (pretty sure that's the number)
