I also met a guy from UConn whose girlfriend left him for Josh Boone. Moral of the story is don't let your girlfriend hang around DI college basketball players...

My brother met Lynn Swann and Walter Payton doing some football computer game programming.

Me personally? I'm from the U. Nuff said.

Former NFL players Anthony Newman (Rams, Saints, Raiders), James Fitzpatrick (Chargers, Raiders) and basketball player Anthony Taylor (Miami Heat) were all high school friends of my brother. I beat up former Minnesota Twins player John Schroeder in high school during a rumble.

Went to high school with Eddie Griffin, the basketball player. Also went to the same school at Rasual Butler, and Marvin Harrison.

For those who don't know, this is the guy who famously crashed his SUV while smacking to porn he was watching on his car's DVD player. I'm pretty sure he was hit by a train later on.

Damn I didnt even see your post. But yeah Eddie Griffin was pretty messed up. He was always getting in fights at school and I think he even charged people for his autograph in high school after we all got Eddie Griffin shirts made since he led us to city championships and was a guaranteed top ten pick.

I met Joe Montana, I see Gonzaga at every fight I go to around here, I actually talk to Joe Lauzon on facebook and he responds, I met Jeff Monson and he was really nice.
