Met One of My Favorite Players Yesterday...

[UTeric3232]

Yesterday was a good day. Most people other than Texas fans or hardcore college basketball fans probably wont know him. But I met up with Gary Johnson, who just graduated from UT and will probably sign as a free agent somewhere when the lockout is over. He hooked me up with a pair of "game" shoes (but I think they are practice shoes bc I cant find evidence of even a style match) and one of his UT game jerseys (which is 09-10 but he put 10-11). But he is a real good guy!

That's some real sweet gear you got there, from the player himself no less! I know as someone that collects fellow Penn State alums, it is always a thrill to get something college game worn. I share your passion for collecting NCAA, and can totally understand how great this must of been for you.

I got Jordan Norwood's first pair (and thus far only pair) of game worn cleats from his Philly NFL debut, that were bought directly from him. I also own his jersey from that game. But now that he is with Cleveland, watch out! I see big things.

Good for you, UTeric3232!

That's really awesome Eric - how did you set that up if you don't mind me asking?

Really cool that he seemed to be that cool about it.

Thanks guys!

Preston - I just sent him a message, started talking to him. Told him I collected and it went from there.
