big dude 0 Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Actually Justin Timberlake is from my hometown and I've seen him multiple times at parties and such. Britney was a once in a lifetime thing, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermike 3,072 Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 didn't you meet lewis grizzard over there in georgia before he passed away? if so, that'd be the winner, hands down! I completely forgot about Lewis Grizzard. We met & talked to him at the 1993 AU vs GA game in Athens. Another I forgot about is Charlie Finnley, former owner of the Oakland A's. He attended Ensley HS in Birmingham. He came back & spoke at one of our homecomming pep rallies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigermike 3,072 Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 alright tigermike...i gotta ask:how old are you? ct I did not go to school with Charlie Finnley, (but my Mom did). But to answer your question, I am 54. So as you can see, I attended Ensley many years ago! As for meeting Mohammed Ali, I met him on the street in NY city, in front of the Playboy Club, to be exact. I was in the service & we did not get into the PBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTiger 3,927 Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 just remembered two more.... Roy Jones Emmitt Smith Also several years ago, I got the opportunity to meet the Harlem Globetrotters. Actually officiated a game before the globetrotters came out at the civic center between Roy Jones all star team and the team the globetrotters regularly play.. Chris Davis was on that team..

I remember getting up to get ready for school as a kid and Country Boy Eddie would be on the TV. My mom and dad watched his show all the time, and I thought he was most likely the biggest goober ever to be on TV. Some good did come out of it. Through his show, I did acquire a fondness for Golden Eagle Table Syrup that I have kept to this day. He had some really horrible singers on that show though. He would go on tour with his band and they would play these small town parking lots across northeast Alabama. I met him when I was about 8 or 9 years old in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot in Pell City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
