Colt David not coming off well in this thread


I'll add I let Devery and Lionel Turner help themselves to my answers during a test in the Spring of '03. I did my part to make the title happen.

Played golf with Ronnie Lewis shortly after he flipped off everyone at Tiger Stadium. Flipped him off in the parking lot after the round.

Not me but a friend of mine saw Dan Marino shooting a commercial at some park in Florida I believe and got to catch a few passes from him. I thought that was pretty cool.

Meet and hung out with Nick Savoi (sp) at a Habachi Resturant in Thibodaux and in the hotel lobby where we staying. My sons all star basketball team was there and one of his teammates dad knows Nick. He would also show up for the games. He was cool and it was a lot of fun hearing him tell stories of LSU and then the Saints.

I had an English class with Tito Horford. Later I had a Speech Communications class with Chris Jackson and Vernel Singleton (only 30 in the class). Played intramural basketball against Jamie Brandon the year he sat out. Played pickup basketball with Mike Hansen, Justin Anderson, and Geert Hammink on a regular basis. Raced Geert mulitple times in the 40 wearing flip-flops and beat him while crossing the finish line high-stepping backwards. Was close friends with Andy Diechert, a six-time All-American swimmer at LSU, Dated the captain of the LSU Women's Swim team. Partied with the Basketball, Swimming and Diving teams 89-91 on a regular basis.




......and no mention of Capt Steve or riding around in his peace van drinking draft beer?! The water kids were a strange bunch.....but I liked them. I think I was partly responsible for the Troll going into rehab. Good times sneaking into the Nat and still shocked that Troy beat my time for shot gunning a tall boy.

Oh, and ask Geert about 3am, power hedge clippers, and him shitting himself

I was walking from class to my car on campus and came across the largest human being on the planet. Shook Shaq's hand and proceeded to bullshite as we were both walking the same direction. It was at the time Kobe got busted with the white girl in CO. Shaq gave me his honest opinion about how he told Kobe to "stop messing with those white girls".

Played in pickup games at the rec with Randy Livingston, Ronnie Henderson, and Clarence Caesar. Got dunked on by Caesar. my small white guy defense was you weren't allowed to dunk in the rec. Clarence said he didn't care.

Was trucked by David LaFleur in a hs fb game. My small white guy defense was to lay down and play dead.

Had lunch at Phils Oyster Bar with Billy Cannon on my recruiting trip to LSU (The baseball coach was also recruiting Billy Cannon Jr. at the time). I actually met Charles Alexander later in the day. To this day, I have never shaken a larger hand than his.

Did "figure 8's" rehabbing ankle injuries in the North End zone in broad daylight with Leonard Marshall wearing nothing but jock straps.

Not LSU stars but I was at a baseball clinic (Janauary 1980) sitting in a circle getting dressed with Davey Lopes, Warren Cromartie, Andre Dawson, Gary Carter, Bucky Dent, Bill (Spaceman) Lee and a few other major league players. Lee put on his spikes and felt something funny inside one of them. Said he hadn't worn them since the end of the previous season. Well he took one his spikes off and a joint fell off. LMAO

All true stories.

Is your friend's car a 3/4 ton pickup truck? Because Big Herm and Putt combined for around 6 1/2 bills (that's 4, average American male college students and 5 female students), even in college - I don't think they'd even fit in the back seat of my car.

Me and Kieland William played middle school basketball together, and we used to cut up in English class together all the time. He was huge in 8th grade. Looked like he was 20.

I went to high school with Lyle Hitt and Derry Beckwith. Lyle is a super guy and has a good family, his mom taught me Physics. Derry and I played basketball, I am only 6'0 but was playing the 4, lol, so I always matched up with him at practice. Got smoked alot.

Me and Charles Scott shared answers on our Econ final. I do most of the sharing

In college me and my friend had a class with Big Baby. Our theater/music friend was also in the class. She was so freaking hot. Big Baby asked if we knew her and if we all wanted to go get pizza to study for the exam. So we all went out and Big Baby hit on her the whole time. He was hilarious....

Was Michael Clayton' s ball boy when he was in high school when he did shoot around.

Met and did some work for Terri Saban when I was in High School, she was super nice. Had lunch a couple of times with her and her family. Nick was there and was total dick...

Endless Tekken II with Cecil Collins and Herb Tyler back in Broussard... also really enjoyed being around Rohan Davey when he would referee our intramural flag football games (BROUSSARD HALL sucked since only "non-athletes" could play, it was an ongoing joke for the football player refs to cheat for us)...

I met shaq when I was in 8th grade at LSU basketball camp. I said "what's up Shaq"? He looked down and said "Me" with a big grin on his face and gave me five. He shook my hand and his fingers wrapped around my forearm (humongous dude!). He was cool as ice and very friendly to all of us...so was Chris Jackson. THey shot the ball with our group for like 20 minutes.

I also used to live with a football player who never saw the field in 95. THe team was at our place off of brightside ALL The time. I couldn't leave food or anything else around becuase it would disappear. Back then (we were losing at a record pace), the whole team was out every night. On sundays after games I remember seeing a hooptie with 5 of them at Coreys buying Chivas & drinking it out of styro cups.

Was at Murphys the night a Deke smashed a bottle on Gabe Northern's head. I still don't know how the dude who did it is walking around.

Our fraternity had a brawl at one of the football games and the cops sprayed the whole crowd (girls included) w/ mace and threw about 60 people out. As a result we all had to go to a "Men against violence" forum moderated by Northern and some asian chick. It was bad....some jackasses from Shreveport stood up and explained to Gabe that there was a difference between black people and n**gers. WOW...Gabe wanted nothing more than to get his voilence on.

Trev Faulk was in my Finance class and hooked me up with player tickets to the game at Tenn. They were Ben Wilkerson's tickets who I had never heard of since it was before his playing days. It was funny because they were family tickets and I'm white.
