My aunt sold him a condo at East Pass Towers in Destin. She got me one of his shoes.

Back in the 80's at Emerald Towers in Destin, my same aunt was on the elevator when an athletic black guy got on with her. She asked for his autograph because she knew he was famous, he gave it to her but asked if she knew who he was. She said, "of course, you are Mike Tyson"...it was actually Bo Jackson

Probably one of the only "in the Quad" things on OT that actually happened

The Rock was shooting a movie nearby and started coming into my gym early in the mornings (5am) before filming.

One day I was doing dumbbell bench presses and he came over to ask if he could borrow them when I was done. They were 70lbs. He took them from me and started doing bicep curls lol

I was like DAMN

He’s a super nice guy but much shorter in person than he looks on tv.

When he was a freshman, my parrain's wife's daddy was good friends with Dale Brown and he had a BBQ for the team after the season.

I got to go and watch Shaq, Wayne Simms & Varnell Singleton shoot pool. I have a ball with everyone on the team's autograph except for Chris Jackson.

He was known for being really shy and didn't stay around that long. He ended up going back in the bus to read.
