I was flying out of New Orleans back in 2008 and sat next to this guy in a suit with a Tulane dufflebag. Struck up anconvo with him and he said he was reporting to rookie minicamp in Chicago. His name was Matt Forte. Didn’t know anything about him at the time. My question is does anyone have any cool player encounters with someone from LSU or anywhere for that matter? 2 weeks until game day. Thank god.

I chat with Dallas HOF'er Bob Breunig periodically. The Conversation is usually about God. Love the guy.

I’ve met Tommy Hodson and Verge Ausberry tailgating when I was a kid. Leonard Fournette and Malachi Dupre used to come eat at the restaurant I work every once in a while when they were here, and I’d occasionally be their server.

Would hang out by the locker room exit with player families and friends to see Rondell Mealey when I was a kid, he was my favorite player. Corresponded with him even while he played for the Packers for that brief time.

That’s all I got.

I elbow wrestled Craig Steltz for the arm rest once on a flight from Chicago in 2012. I was flying down for the SC game and he was heading home during the Bears bye week.

I met Laron and Jimbo at the team hotel before the 05 Peach Bowl. Laron seemed kinda hyper while Jimbo talked fast.

I've played kickball against Jarrett Lee a few times and Drew Alleman handles my Mutual Funds and Life Insurance. Also played some Semi Pro football with Karnell Hatcher and Derrick Bryant if they count.

Ran into Shaq at the mall when he was at LSU. Even taller than you would imagine.

Was hitting golf balls on the range next to Jimmy Taylor about 15 years ago or so. Keiland’s calves have nothing on him.

Not a player but I saw Les Miles at Flemings in 2009, as he came out the restroom towards the hostess stand. Guy yelled out hey coach, he smiled, and turned 360 degrees waving. Made eye contact with my young self and said hey fella. Then went to his private room.

My steak was good

I went to the Saban Football Camp to see my nephew from Houma perform. I wore my LSU cap and as I was watching practice a tall dude came up to me and said " I love that cap you have on". It took me a little bit but finaly realized it was Jamie Howard. His boy was at the camp as well. He was very nice and loves LSU!

Run into Rohan a few times lately. Friend of a friend and had some drinks before a few saints games last year.
