So, back in the early 90's, I'm a big BYU fan, Ty Detmer and Mark Brunell were both big pre-season Heisman hopefulls, and my brothers and I loved arguing football. My family are all Univ of WA fans, and Brunell was their starter.
We were at the Goodwill Games in Tacoma, WA, in Aug, and my brothers and I were going back and forth who was better, who would win the Heisman, on and on. I remember saying some NOT VERY NICE things about Brunell.
After we had been going on for 15 min. or so, this guy sitting in front of us (had been there the whole time), turned around and stuck his hand out to me and said "Hi, I'm Mark Brunell."
WTF...of all the people in the world that could of been sitting in front of me...it was him!!! What are the odds of that???
Now, I would have thought he was bull shittin' me, except the shocked looks on my brothers faces. When they started pulling out paper and pens to get an autograph, I knew I had stuck my foot in my mouth like never before.
Just to remind all...Detmer won the Heisman that year...so I WAS right!!!
(But Brunell has had a better NFL career!!)
I met Ty Detmer several years after this happened (mutual friend), and told him what I did, and he got a kick out of it!! To borrow a line from Squeak...MY LIFE ROCKS!! HOW'S YOURS??!!!
