Partied with Jerry Rice in Starkville back when I was at State. It was a house party and as we were walking up someone stopped us and said "Jerry Rice is in there. Be cool". He was a nice guy. Was having a good time like everyone else.
Was up in CT near Bristol (ESPN HQ) a couple years back for work. My team had just finished a project and was drinking a little bit (a lot). At about 2am, Four of us had shut down the hotel bar and were drinking some Coors Lights in the lobby near the closed restaurant. I see a tall guy with a familiar face walk over to the restaurant and peer in. I was pretty drunk, so I just stood up and said "HEY. you're famous. What's your name.". He said "Keyshawn". I said "Keyshawn Johnson! Come drink a beer with us. I want to tell my friends I drank a Coors Light with Keyshawn Johnson." in probably slurred speech. He said no thanks, but came over and chatted for a couple minutes. Where you from, what brings you to town, etc. Nice guy.
I sat next to Ontario Harper in Econ. Right before the tourney, I said "Hey man, ESPN has y'all picked as a sleeper into the final four". He said "We gotta worry about Butler first". And we all know what happened.
