Met him at Sandestin. Ironically, at a wine festival where he was promoting his new line of wines. Talked to him briefly. A few months after AU had won the MNC in 2010. Had my AU cap on and he was very complimentary of Auburn and the season they had.
When he started as the color guy for Bama, I hated his voice. Grew on me when I realized he told it like it was. No holds barred. Not just blatant Bama homerism. One night, Northern Illinois came in and manhandled them at the Crapstoned. Heard him rip his team a new one about getting their shit pushed in needing to man up. I can respect that.
Hate him if you want to. The man had a killer career at the highest levels of foosballz. Partied his ass off. Came up in a different era than just about everyone on this board.
